when i was growing up i genuinely wanted to be a silicon valley programmer guy (in a good way i mean i was like 15); used to look forward to the keynotes like a playoff game

The guy was a MASTER salesman. People like Musk would kill to be that smooth on stage.

The only parts of current Apple events that get close to that magic are the sections hosted by Craig Federighi.

Yeah, Craig has his moments. Thing is, Steve could be cool and a bit alluring. Craig has a habit of taking it a bit too far into “silly,” but I don’t mind.

..lol

The guy couldn't sell me on anything ever. I saw right though his speeches and say the products for what they locked down, overpriced and underpowered. 15 years later, nothing ls changed but higher costs.

People don't think critically, they think marketing terms. That's why he was good. It's easy to lead people to believe nonsense.
