They're still as cringe as they've been for years; with fake hand movements and marketing-pilled bs postures.

The marketing pilled postures seem to have been toned down a bit.

I wish they would stop changing speakers every other sentence though. I swear drone cameras were the worst thing to happen to video, I'm gettin seasick over here!

    Apple employees get to claim very little ownership over their work (even in the context of a large tech company), so having all those speaker slots is one way they can provide that ego boost that is so crucial for long term employee morale & retention

      I wish they'd just give them more equity so we can go back to being able to actually name all of the people in one of these videos.

      It's also probably better for Apple to lose the immature egoist weirdos as managers because there were thousands of employees involved in shipping all of the stuff unveiled today who didnt get their 5 seconds in the spotlight either, and I don't see any of them crying about it.

> with fake hand movements

I don't get this complaint. People talk with their hands, it'd look more fake if they just stood there all stiff and wooden.

    Emphatic gestures are one thing and descriptive gestures are another. But gesturing for the sake of gesturing is the irritating part.

    You see it a lot on YouTube videos where people are talking to the camera and they're waving their hands around all over the place and pointing for no discernible reason. It doesn't change the information they're presenting, nor does it add to it. In fact, it just distracts you with someone waving their hands around.

    So the same applies to presentations from a company. If you watched two people talking in a park, you wouldn't see this many gestures.
