Nobody likes this. How did you come up with the idea to claim that was Apple's reasoning?

I like it I think it’s sort of cool to see the different environments around Apple Park and be able to hear from a lot of different employees without having to watch a parade over the stage

I really like it this way though, specially because of the good production value.

Seeing people whining and gnashing and bitching, in vein it should be observed, about this sort of nonsense is so uproarious and, quite honestly, pathetic.

Like the root post whining that it's too polished. Christ. Get a grip and go touch grass if this is the sort of pathetic nonsense someone actually takes the time to whine about.

It's actually funny how every single presentation like this always gets topped by profoundly boring people complaining about some aspect of the presentation: The people aren't standing right or moving the way you want. OMG look at his jacket. That joke wasn't funny. Etc. Christ.

Yes, most people just want the information, not some sort of organic, "all-natural" presentation.

Your comment is the most upset I've seen in this thread. Maybe re-read what you wrote and take your own advice.

I think some people mistake "I don't value the human layer of a communication" with "The human layer has no value".

A presentation is a live audio visual medium. If you just want the information as facts with no affect why not read the stats later?

		Are you one of those people who make that mistake? Because nowhere is that inferred in my post. I enjoy the presenters and the enthusiasm and nuance that they bring to the presentation. I do not need to see someone figure out how to switch a display or change a slide or fumble with wireless that is overwhelmed in a hall with a thousand wireless devices or... All of that is utterly unnecessary, so pre-recording it, doing all of the post production, reshooting so you don't trip people up on misreads / mispronunciations / fumbles / technical issues, etc, gets the human + the information without the ancillary bullshit. It's actually funny because I don't stream Google or nvidia presentations for this same reason (I just wait for engadget or someone to just give the bullet list recap), and I suspect many/most of the people whining and gnashing about this one being "too produced" don't either. Somehow it always ends up being 80% in the weeds nonsense.

Some might say the information here is even more padded and puffed than in a traditional presentation.

amen, god forbid they try to make a polished display of new features instead of fumbling through live presentations
