They try so hard to do a polished presentation that everything is kinda fake and unauthentic. I don't understand how this attitude survived so many years.
Apple very rarely admits mistakes. The fact they're rolling back some of the extremeness in Liquid Glass and actively mentioned in the keynote that they very seriously took the user feedback shows just how bad it was, at least initially.
I bet they planned this before the initial release and actually had this capability then and there. Just needed some guinea pigs (aka their users) to learn more and establish the trend.

People have found surveillance cameras horrible since forever. No matter how many years pass and how popular they are, they never became cool
I'm not sure that's true anymore, or at least I'd suggest it depends on the type of surveillance camera you're talking about. Flock cameras, traffic cameras, the big ugly gray things stuck on the side of a building that you'd avoid if you were playing Splinter Cell? Sure, not popular. But everyone and their grandma has a Ring doorbell or a Nest camera inside or outside of their home now. Further, it's still not obvio…

I hope they redesign their magic mouse. It's not a real product.
"Siri AI will not be available in E.U. until we figure out privacy" Funny to hear that after they mentioned how seriously they are taking privacy every 37 seconds.

It feels fake, because they speak in a way that sounds unnatural and overelaborate. It is so long, with so many unnecessary sentences. And it feels like everything is said at least twice; First a generic statement about the new feature. Then a specific example, or a deeper explanation of what the first generic statement was. Then a demo. And then a conclusion to the future. The old Steve Jobs keynotes focused on the…
To me it just sounds so very American. Using so many praising adjectives they stop meaning anything anymore. If everything is fabulous and great and you’re always excited or proud, that becomes the baseline.

Curious how this trait is American? Is there something about the way Americans speak that is fake?
If I share a project with an American friend and he says it's awesome, I still don't know whether he liked it or not. If I share it with a Polish or German friend and he says it's "not bad" then I know he is really impressed.
