Do people still watch these live?
I find them really hard to watch. It's about 95% fluff and bullshit and 5% about the technology. I usually just read the bullet summary afterwards.
- jedberg 6y agoI have it on in the background. I'm triaging email at the same time.
- dilap 6y agoWatched for a little bit, gave up. I used to find them very interesting back in the Jobs era, but now they're pretty boring. I think partly it's just because the tech is maturing so there's less exciting stuff to show, but it's also definitely down to a much less crisp presentation style.
- ehsankia 6y agoI have zero interest in Apple, never owned one since the very first iPod mini, but I still find their marketing department to be fantastic. These virtual keynotes also have amazing production quality. I do agree the talking parts could be maybe 50% shorter though.
- dustingetz 6y agoPeople need to feel like something substantial has happened so they can talk and get excited about it. Look around at the impact it's having!
- fomine3 6y agoIt's exciting just because video quality is excellent than real live event.
- roboyoshi 6y agoI started watching the keynotes with 2 tech friends when I was like 16 years old and as we grew older (am 27 now) they are the only events across the year where we sit down, talk a bit about tech and make fun of all the stupid bullshit in the keynote.

- chadcmulligan 6y agoI usually watch the twit.tv ones - they livestream the apple show and talk over it, with vaguely interesting and amusing commentary. The link https://twit.tv/shows/twit-news/episodes/364?autostart=false https://twit.tv/shows/twit-news/episodes/364?autostart=false
- christefano 6y agoI try to, if only so that I can get ahead of the headlines and opinion pieces. I like to form my own opinions first.
