Every once in a while something like this comes up that reminds me how incredible Apple can be at engineering, and how much attention they can give to the details, when they really try. It's so strange to contrast this with, say, the egregious regressions that so commonly happen in their OSes.

I wonder if the audio are actual slowed-down recordings or re-creations? They sounded awfully sloshy for how little amounts of water there are.

All of the slow mo sounds are recreations. In fact I’m pretty sure they use that same sloshy sound clip in about half their videos.

Well said. It really is baffling how apple has become a tale of two cities

Credit goes to the Engineers, not the company.

Engineers are told what to do, they execute.

Regressions in the OS is something you can blame the company for. Management decisions are not done by Engineers, they are executed by Engineers.

Smarter Every Day did a video about this. I think it’s this one: https://youtu.be/aO7yzmc3ykw

I’m not really sure where you’re drawing a distinction here.
