CHRISTMAS MORNING, TEN YEARS LATER
At 12:05pm, before Apple took the stage, the event still felt like “xmas morning”: a new Santa, new presents, and prices that would hurt (x.com).
By 1:38pm, the presentation had reached a familiar part of the program. A post from March 2016 called Apple product updates useful for tracking “50 year old male fashion.” Ten years later, it still fit well enough to repost with four words: “This still holds true.” (x.com)
Eight minutes later came one feature with an immediate use. Apple’s “live rewind” could settle debates with Tiffany over what was actually said on TV. (x.com)
The rest of the presentation produced a practical checklist: health features worth understanding, a battery claim that did not seem to add up, and a product demo that apparently required a hand model with an unusually long thumb.
