The Talk Show Live From WWDC 2023 

Such a surprise. HAVE to watch till the very end 🤘

Sure. For the uncoolest men alive.

*in tech

wrong. I am the coolest man alive. The work I did helped the entire planet. Apple only works for people to buy from them.

The next CEO of Apple much more in the Steve Jobs mould.

Yeah his questions take FOREVER to be asked. I still love him though. And his podcast is much better in my opinion in this regard.

Craig is a great software guy, no one doubts that. But, as Steve Jobs once said, people who care about software, they build their own hardware. And to build and manufacture hardware requires you to be a master of operations, especially manufacturing. That's why Tim Cook has done an amazing job. He may not have designed the Vision Pro, but he's the reason Apple can manufacture and ships something as technologically advanced as that. Tim Cook's leadership includes the revitalization of the iPad (thanks to the introduction of a stylus for professionals), the introduction of Apple Watch (and its continued innovation when it comes to personalized health), and now the Vision Pro. That doesn't even mention the amazing innovation of the M series. This proves that operation leaders can run Apple exceptionally well. You know how auto manufacturers release incredible concept cars in those auto shows? And then 5 years later, they come out with a junky version of that concept? That's because the car designers are talented, but the company just isn't able to manufacture those complicated car designs. For Apple, this problem doesn't exist, thanks to operation experts like Tim Cook. It gives hardware designers free realm to make the products of the future. I think Jeff Williams should replace Tim in the event of a retirement. We can always rely on Craig (and his crew of talented software engineers) for shipping incredible software forever. But can he talk to China or India about manufacturing the R1 chip at a particular rate and for a specific price point? Can he convince Japanese manufacturers to produce a specific lens filter for Vision Pro, again at a scale to match Apple's insane consumer demand? Steve Jobs himself didn't build iOS, or any of its features. But he was an operations kingpin, a veteran who since the 1970s understood the importance of manufacturing and shipping great hardware. Craig has 0 experience in this world. Shipping a few software features every year is not a unique trait in Silicon Valley, and certainly isn't what makes Apple so insanely great.

There's other executives that have known Jobs for longer, worked for Apple for longer, and been loyal to Apple for longer.

I felt the opposite

@@user-sm3vh3wo7vfrom what we hear this is what I think also. We need to keep CFed at all costs. I think he wouldn’t want to be CEO anyway then he could do the great work on the platforms that he knows he’s great at and we all love. It’s not an insult to him, he is just in the perfect job he was meant to do. That’s a compliment

We need a software guy on their right hand and hardware guy on their left one. Whoever sit on ceo should be able to use both hands expertly.

Me too 🎉

I just had on notifications for this channel :)

@@dtemp132 lol 😂 what an easy solution

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!

next year….. kanye

Ok. Settle down a bit.

He could outdo himself by shutting up and letting the guests talk

Yes! Yes! Yes! I really hope John Gruber reads this. He needs some very explicit feedback on his interviewing skills. Significantly less talking, more direct questions, more confidence in putting people on the spot, and less self-disclosures.

He’s not trying to be like others though. If you listen to his show regularly he’s just being the same albeit he got off to a nervous start here I think Joz appears to be a little intimidating to him.

Totally 1000% agree with you. Gruber’s interview style is detrimental to the experience…it’s like “bruvv, let them Apple people speak!”

They let John do this because he's John. Not because he's like another kind of interviewer.

And yet John continues to get this extraordinary access to Apple execs. It’s easy to sit back in your room and say that, it’s a whole other thing to be the interviewer on stage in front of hundreds of people with bright spot lights shining on you. Yea, it’s not as easy as it looks. No matter how well prepared you are with notes etc, being the one leading an on stage interview is incredibly hard. I’m think John does a great job, and Apples execs clearly enjoy doing it with him.

I just came here after listening to see the ending and wow I had no idea how much smartspeed was working on those questions

True the gems of insight come between lengthy rambles…

But people are probably wearing them wrong.

When I saw John Ternus was one of the guests I was hoping he’d be wearing one, but still, I love that they acknowledged it!

I think he's trying to frame them in a way that makes decisions look good. Like talking about the mac pro and its expandability, like it's upgradable and expandable if you don't need to replace the CPU, GPU, and memory.

penetrating questions get them to close up and never come back again.

He talks about it in this video, which is great btw. He is really funny! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-43sjym5ZS68.html

Dude, if it wasn’t clear it was just playback 😂😂

@@meandyou537 yes, no cable/transmitter and slightly out of sync. but: you cant‘t pretend to play like that if you can’t play for real.

@@janhofmann3499 There's a cable. Hard to see because of the dark background but stands out against Joz's shirt when he lifts the guitar out of the case.

@@meandyou537 it's actually wired!!! you blind????

Agreed! Even playing this video at 1.75x speed, I was still falling asleep and fatigued by the Looooong Questions that sometimes got nowhere.

Yep, he just fucking rambles on and on. So many interesting philosophical Qs could have been asked about Vision as a product, to pick their brains and get insight into their thought process, but nothing was asked at all.

Yeah I am glad I didn’t pay to see this!

Stern is better

Gruber is in cognitive decline. He should retire because it is painful and annoying to watch.

Boring AF the first 10 mins … lots of sycophantic ass kissing😂

Not at all. Silence emphasises the question that he is going to ask. If everyone took time to think through a question or remark before uttering it many misunderstandings could be avoided.

@@knowledgeisgood9645 he waffles on with no sense of direction - look how many times the guests have to interrupt with an actual coherent response.

@@knowledgeisgood9645if you come in prepared, you do not need air time to think them over…

@@charliecrews4864 He comes prepared. He just wants to think again. If you know him you would not be surprised. He is not a fast thinker, but he does well given time.

Gruber has to be careful how he toes the line with them. They view this as just more marketing for their products not a chance to be real with us. He knows if he wants to keep this high profile show every year he has to throw them mostly cookies and not push them if he throws them a curve.

Oprah Syndrome

@@outdevo While I get what you're saying, I think he did ask them questions that were appropriately easy/tough. He just has to reel in his desire to understand their thinking and then saying that thought process out lout, all in his question. I wonder if he'd do better without the cards and just had a back and forth conversation.

And constantly looking at his flash cards, if I did that in school I would fail lol

He’s being himself You try it doing it ace

@@gorgonzolariggs7710 what a poor excuse. It’s his job and he’s doing a horrible job at it, stop excusing poor interview skills.

@@gorgonzolariggs7710 no. if you're gonna put yourself out there in this manner you gotta step up. has nothing to do whether someone else can do it or not. #logic (not the music app LOL)

@Vince McMahon it’s free food so why the hell would I complain , Vince?

He knows what he wants to ask. He’s probably just terrified he’ll say something that’ll piss them off and they won’t do another show with him.

Why are they so long? They were distracting me.

😂

If I had to hear that fake laugh every day, I'd probably make myself go deaf.

That’s friggin yanks for ya

I agree 100%

Be careful with your bad designs, kids. Someone might get addicted to them. ;)

Same with my two daughters. they chose a MMP 13” Touchbar for college, when that is all Apple sold for MBP. But, both done with college and years later they both bought a new MBP 13” with Touchbar. I tried to steer them away from it, but …nope.

Tickets were $150, and they have the audacity to call it a “free bar”? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Mugs.

He's been doing this long enough that obviously he has no interest in changing or improving anything at this point. If he wanted to, he would have done it.

It's in reference to the "Spatial Personas" teaser at the end of SotU: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sby0V96sF7s.html

Yeah, I stopped listening to The Talk Show because he rambles on and the amount of content is low for its length.

Correct. Would have loved to hear more from from the talented guests. Opportunity missed

he is self-absorbed... he has an entire interview in which he drones on and on about his need to be always be right and how he finds more pleasure in telling somebody they're wrong than in being right....

There is a common perception of executives being lazy and letting their underlings do the work. Executives/managers like that get chewed up and spit out at Apple. At Apple a manager is a expected to be capable of participating in a technical discussion about any product or feature that falls under them. There is no room for faking it because you get exposed instantly.

Framing is everything with Apple stuff.

Which john?😂

@@fueledbycoffee0 Which point?
