I don’t think any amount of showmanship would make Google product and service announcements as interesting and impactful as Apple’s.
One problem is that Google doesn’t stick with or commit to most things, except Search and e-mail. So Google products just aren’t that interesting.
Another is time to release. Apple doesn’t generally announce things (with a few exceptions) unless they are close to release. It’s no fun to get excited about something and then wait a year or two.
- shon 4y ago100% agree that release timing is part of the allure of WWDC. That’s part of the show! You know you’re going to be using this great stuff very soon. I disagree that Google’s products aren’t as interesting. They have great tech. I’ve been very interested in the Pixel phone and other Android related products. But Google has different drivers. With Apple, everything is aligned on the show. They put everything they have into making stuff we want to buy and use. It’s like a singular goal. Pixel could be great. It was getting there —I switched and loved it in the Pixel 2 / iPhone 7 era. But they are not committed enough to making it the best for the consumer.
