Blame the writers who came up with the skit. They either don't know or don't care and thought it would be funny.

Whut?! This has always existed with Apple. Coming from someone that's been an admirer for more than three decades. Like someone else mentioned, it's just social media that's amplified the fanatic noise.
It's always been like that. Influencers are just amping it up.
New iPhones are sold out everywhere.
Why bother when I can conveniently order it online and have it delivered to my doorstep on the release day, all while relaxing on the couch in my underwear and enjoying these videos?
insufferable people. Both of them.
Came here to post some snarky comment on how both:
1) Fallon laughs at his own jokes, more so than the audience. *cringe*
2) Tim Cook is a robot.
Since that’s been addressed already, how’s the weather?

Nice playing around and promoting the company and products. I wish he would really focus on quality control and his software team. Pushing them too hard too fast and these latest releases has been a mess.
You need to check out iJustine. She is unbiased and straightforward and pulls no punches when it comes to calling out Apple on their shortcomings.
Why would they? People don't shop the way they used to. Just look at the decline of shopping malls.
While the smartphone market has matured, Apple sold over twice as many iPhones per year on average in the last seven years than they did in the first ten when "camping out overnight" may have been a thing. The shopping world is simply different today.
This was just one shoot. I hardly think this would've taken away much from other "priorities."
Nobody in the crowd reacting to either Fallon or Cook's presence was my first clue. The launch day "customers" waiting in-line had to have been paid extras.
I don't get the rock star thing, Steve Jobs was a rock start, Tim is the money guy.
I can walk into any Apple store in my city and pick up a Pro or Pro max without wait.
Or just a normal day in NYC when Fallon accidentally runs into cook while wearing AVP and the bystanders are totally clueless.
I mean, totally could happen, right?
Maybe not paid, but they definitely signed a contract/release before being filmed.
Did you already forget the mother earth skit? And whatever it was during the last keynote?
People are so bored with iPhone 16 that YouTube commenters are ripping MKBHD over his wallpaper subscription app more than the phone itself.
Boring people are bored. Who cares what YouTube commenters are doing?

No matter how busy and successful you are, I believe the awkward moment where Tim flinches as Jimmy raises his hand for a high five is going to haunt Tim for ages.

Yeah exactly! Copy your last, Like wow The 17Yr olds with unlimited budgets but somehow need more than one of everything (Looking at you iJustine who somehow got not one but two 32" Displays....) Ugh....
Remember when Steve would do a Keynote? there would a general update, some announcements minor products and then BOOM One more Thing Steve would unveil some Magic 🎉 fully formed Designed ready to Power on and Ship! Coming to a Store near you! None of the well here it is but half The Features are missing but we will update soon if we dont brick it first! And yeah like you slurped all the Kool Aid Decades ago...As me types on me trusty 🗑 Can.

Steve was never in it for the money that’s why he stuck with it so long. He barely had furniture in his house. Tim will for sure step down and enjoy his bags of cash
