    Tim was very hyper focused on profit and he certainly did his job well. But I’m excited for Ternus to accelerate the design changes more often with the iPhone.

      That’s not gonna happen. No super acceleration you’re dreaming of.

    • @ProjectCovenant

      August 31, 2026 at 6:18 am

      @Wizreader2828make sure u bookmark this char for next week when the foldable is announced. 😅

    • @_XYZ__

      August 31, 2026 at 9:06 am

      The only thing that will be announced is a phone 2% more powerful than the previous one

    • @zunedog31

      August 31, 2026 at 4:51 pm

      Every public company is required to be hyper focused on profit

    Hope Ternus takes the path of Steve jobs (more focussed towards groundbreaking innovation)

    • @housepianist

      August 31, 2026 at 9:41 am

      “Groundbreaking” is a very hard thing to come by nowadays. We’ve reached peak innovation with today’s devices so unless there’s something truly innovative, everything is mostly incremental upgrades and updates. We see this from Apple, Google, Samsung, etc.

      And besides, people really don’t know what innovation means. They’re looking for some kind of magic tricks or a one-trick pony that dazzles them for 15 minutes before they become bored again.

      Steve Jobs once said that people don’t know what they want. You have to tell them what they want. I guarantee that whatever Ternus comes out with, it will never be innovative because people will simply decide that it’s not. Ternus will come out with whatever can be innovative and you’ll just have to accept it.

      @housepianist True, true, true

    I remember watching this and thinking it was so flat compared to Steve’s presentations and wondered if Apple would be the same exciting company anymore

    Wow. See how smallll the stage is!!

    It’s not mentioned in the video, but this was the day before Jobs passed away.

    • @jeevanbatla91

      August 31, 2026 at 8:19 am

      @Alto53 nope iPhone 4s was launched after Steve Jobs passed away

    • @Alto53

      August 31, 2026 at 7:10 pm

      ​@jeevanbatla91 the date of the video is given October 4, 2011 at 0:07 – the day before Jobs passed way on October 5, 2011.

      August 31, 2026 at 9:04 am

      @crazycrazysnakeman clearly you don’t realize this was 15 years ago.

    The day Apple went downhill

  12. @35TCB77

    August 31, 2026 at 9:07 am

    You could tell how nervous Tim was during this event/Keynote.

  13. @UchechukwuOnuoha-o7e

    August 31, 2026 at 9:46 am

    To be honest, Steve Jobs is still the best

  14. @Boblambda

    iPhone for Steve (4S), the old days.

    Heartbreakingly, Steve Jobs passed away the next day – 5 October 2011. This event was 4 October 2011.

  17. @KC_rigg503

    August 31, 2026 at 11:14 am

  18. @JFL1988

    August 31, 2026 at 1:12 pm

  19. @JFL1988

    August 31, 2026 at 1:17 pm

  20. @chrisherbert4454

    August 31, 2026 at 2:19 pm

    Looking forward to the change Tim was OK but he never had the magic that Steve Jobs had

  21. @Abel-q2t2i

    August 31, 2026 at 3:16 pm

    That brings a throwback down memory lane!

  22. @ninjanerdstudent6937

    August 31, 2026 at 4:51 pm

    So this is the day Apple died.

    Good to know.

  23. @TechnotMe
