WWDC 2024 Will Include In-Person Special Event at Apple Park

[VisceralRealist]

They're not returning to a fully in-person WWDC because a live event is complex and costly, and they can save money and time and have complete control over the information they are putting out if the event is pre-recorded. There is no incentive for Apple to return to live events.

I don't care for the pre-recorded events either, but surely it is obvious why Apple will never bring them back.

Please, what the hell are you ranting about.

He's probably pissed off at Mother Nature. And all of the awkward acting and evangelizing.

 

[cogzero]

To inoculate yourself from all the cringe awkwardness pre-WWDC, I suggest consuming a good dose of Nvidia events beforehand. Dear god. You'll be cured!

I'm really surprised people want to bring back live events. The WWDC 2023 keynote was already over 2 hours, can you imagine how long it would be if people were reacting to every little thing? I'm busy, I don't need it to be drawn out.

If you are busy, don’t watch it at all. Read a summary. It’s way faster.

Yeah I miss people clapping for 10 seconds straight after every other sentence.

Tim walks out… clapping for 30 seconds … “Good morning!” … clapping for 30 seconds … “What a great day!” … clapping for 30 seconds …

 

[svish]

Looks like this will be the format going ahead.

 

[Schizoid]

Sad to see that in-person events are dead, just like Apple’s innovation department.

That Steve Jobs Theatre was a waste of money wasn't it? Might as well demolish it.

Please, what the hell are you ranting about.

I'm guessing the hate is coming from sometimes seeing people of color and/or women onscreen who are obviously on the top of their careers. Must be frustrating, if you are a r... an "antiwoke" person.

 

[maxdefcon]

I was thinking the same thing. This place is riddled with cry babies and I don’t care who dislikes/hates this comment. I understand if you’re not happy with Apple, but come on.

 

[aknabi]

No party, just bullsht

Indeed... Apple should take note of my company's tagline: "Build sh*t, not bullsh*t"...

Also a bummer as WWDC was a nice way to get a trip back home tax deducible 🤷‍♂️

 

[D-a-a-n]

Yeah I miss people clapping for 10 seconds straight after every other sentence.

Or chuckling when they hear prices of Mac Pro wheels.

 

[jonnysods]

Wait so its still a video, but you get to go there and watch the video this time?

 

[k1121j]

Doing the bare minimum again! I’m not a developer but I bet they liked going and don’t like watching these productions they do now. Shame on you Tim trying to save a few bucks? Lazzzzy

 

[satchmo]

I’m guessing Tim Sweeney isn’t going to be invited.

 

[phgreer]

Covid is over! Let's please go back to the live events! This makes it look like they are afraid to get on stage and meet with people in person!

 

[phgreer]

Please, what the hell are you ranting about.

I'm fed up with it too!

 

[phgreer]

I honestly prefer the old school live events when the presenters walk on stage and give humanly demos. These pre-recorded events suck and I don't think anybody at Apple knows it. Apple should reserve introducing iPad Pros & Airs until this event.

I totally agree!

Boo! They should at least do one a year. Definitely for WWDC or for a major product release.

Steve Jobs Theater is used for special events not WWDC. In-person WWDC keynotes have always been at a conference center like Moscone West or San Jose Convention Center.

 

[jazz1]

I've been fed up with these Apple's pre-recorded woke and overacting presentations.

I liked it when they added a bit of sense of humor to the events. Like Tim floating around Apple Headquarters like Tom Cruise!

 

[MisterSavage]

For only 1599$ right?

This right here. Some people are lucky enough to have a company pay for their admission but I'd be paying my own way in. I love this new format where that's not required.

Because they spent a half of time on saying how great a product is.

 

[cocky jeremy]

Please, what the hell are you ranting about.

The stupid environmental statistics. No one cares. Just talk about the new devices.

That is awesome! I love it!! 🤣

This is hilarious in the fact that more than likely Apple is using Unreal technology to make these pre-recorded videos. It is obvious they are using some sort of virtual production system; and almost all of them use Unreal Engine.
