Looking Back at Past In-Person iPhone Events Ahead of 'Far Out' iPhone 14 Reveal

I for one don’t miss the live on-stage cringeworthy patter that Cook attempts to muster up at these events. He’s about as entertaining as a tax audit.

Yo, speak for yourself dawg. Tax audits are the hot new thing these days, all the cool kids are getting them. They are so exciting they make me want to wear a suit and listen to Nickelback.

I'm going to miss the virtual keynotes. They had a level of polish and quality that other companies just couldn't compete with.

I hope that the events remain hybrid. Really like the effects, animations, and everything else that a digital Apple Event has to offer.

I miss those cringy moments they have on stage, like when they announced those famous Pro wheels.

I don’t know if any (non Schiller-related) cringe could be better than the announcement of the Pro Display XDR and the “available” stand for $999. That guy got off the stage so fast.

Of course the all time greats are probably tied for “can’t innovate anymore my ass” and the “courage” to remove the headphone jack. I think innovate wins out because “courage” was just so transparent.

Likewise. But this is a common issue for me. And i blame the lightning port. When transferring with USB C on my iPad there is zero issues.

Port or cable I wonder. Or both. Lightning cables suck. I've had so many issues with them over the years. I always tell friends who are having trouble with charging or anything else cable-related to try a new cable and it usually fixes the problem. I rarely see actual port problems. It's almost always the cable. I just had to replace another cable not long ago. USB-C can't come soon enough!
