Eh, I see it more as playing to the investors with "people really love our poo poo."

Rad, thanks :) This seems to be working just fine so far, unlike the iPhone event stream.

 Wonder how he'll spin the slow iOS 8 adoption rate, or if it won't come up at all. I'm leaning toward the latter.

 I'm sure these launch day videos get more cringeworthy each year. Makes me ashamed to be part of the corporate machine. It soon passes though.

 I just hope 8.1 is released today. If they want to turn on ApplePay on Saturday or Monday, they should make sure everyone has 8.1 before then.

I mean, "everyone"

This is the typical format of their presentations. It was actually unusual that it didn't happen last month at the iPhone event.

 Also strange to me: The amount of hyping up a device that isn't even out for at least 3 months.

EDIT: I guess it's only strange in terms of being Apple doing it. I wouldn't/don't think it's strange when new game consoles are hyped for a year before release.

 The thing that always amazes me about Apple's keynotes is that they're legitimately Apple products of their own. It's incredible, really, and I say this as a skeptic as much as a fan.
