What would todays presentation would have looked like if Steve Jobs was still around?
-There would have been fewer leaks before the big unveiling.
-There would have been fewer features mentioned in the presentation.
-There would have been fewer features in the product in favor of a faster ship date.
-There would have been fewer choices in terms of colors, straps and models.
This is a totally unfair comparison, especially as I don't work at Apple and have yet to wear the device.
But I think we are all wondering, can Apple continue to innovate as successfully without Steve around?
- darkstar999 12y agoWho cares?
- nzealand 12y agoAs a stock holder, I care. I have a taxable account that holds individual stocks. AMT means I shouldn't sell unless I see Apple underperforming the index by a significant amount.
- darkstar999 12y agoNo, I mean who cares what Steve Jobs would do? He's gone. It doesn't matter.
- nzealand 12y agoA simple presentation is like a simple product. If they can't keep the presentation simple and elegant, how can they keep the product simple and elegant.
- darkstar999 12y agoThat's a ridiculous statement. The product and the announcement are completely disparate. They could make an amazing presentation about a mediocre product (and have been known to do so).

- nzealand 12y agoGood response. Individually, none of this is a big deal. Together, it made for a disappointing presentation.
