I hope Ternus brings back live presentations. So bizarre to invite people to gather and watch a video together.

Many users criticized Apple's pre-recorded WWDC format for the new expressive Siri voices as off-putting and corporate, missing the human energy and risks of live keynotes, while others preferred it for avoiding awkward moments.

@wholemars Was thinking the same thing. It’s time to bring it back. This corporate recording bullshit is awful.

@wholemars 💯
I miss the Steve Jobs style of keynote. I don’t know how much of what i miss was the live aspect but i know it was better.

@wholemars I prefer this format. Less awkward moments no applause for every single thing they say :P

@wholemars At least they start on time unless others… 😂

@wholemars Apple has become so risk averse that it can't even do live demos anymore. At least Steve Jobs had the guts to do a live demo of the first iPhone - and had multiple demos that didn't go exactly as planned - but still were way better than a video.

@wholemars Yea this is so dumb. The live keynotes were way better.

@wholemars You could have watched that from the comfort of your Tesla.

@wholemars The over-polish is actually very off-putting.

@wholemars The best content today was the nice cinematography. The OS updates where boring tbh. Imagine this content as a live presentation. Cringeworthy.

@wholemars Honestly, live presentations bring energy you can’t fake. Hope they bring that back too.

@wholemars Live keynotes were peak Apple energy — the nerves, the demos that could go wrong, the crowd reactions. Pre-recorded feels like watching a TED Talk in a boardroom. Bring back the live chaos, Ternus! 🚀

@wholemars It needs to be a live conference again. What this is…. It’s not that.

@wholemars They’re terrified something won’t work live

@wholemars It also lends a hand in truth behind execution. Meaning they easily filmed this before they show it and any problems easily can be debugged and fluffed from how it releases to public testing and final.

@wholemars And dump the pretend "flying through the building to a fake lab" where things get explained.

@wholemars Completely agree.

@wholemars Yup exactly super weird

@wholemars Getting almost like Grok.

@wholemars they’re tryna avoid this at all cost

@wholemars The presentation is not the main event though There are other things that are happening for people who got invited But yeah a live presentation is always great.
