This jerk was a liar and a cheat and a con artist. Nothing more than a sales rep. I read that even he did not really believe in the iphone. When you visited his house, everyone had to dump their iphones in a box near the front door. It was never allowed in his home. Yet you can all have your tracking and surveillance devices in yours. I never bought it in 2007. I still don't buy it. I predicted a host of issues that would result. I was right. We now have a whole generation of young people who cant even talk. Now I'm swamped with complicated apps and security software that takes most of my day wading through. Now a whole generation of fat blobs.And now a cashless economy, and increasing big WEF control. It's all just technocrap future pollution. I wonder if he went to WEF back then. I hate Steve Jobs.

Best reveal speech ever - I honestly doubt it will be beaten

I feel like at least 80% of what I have learned from your videos comes together in one video. Sort of like an MBA in one day.

Jobs does a lot of things right! Plus, most great speakers tend to have similar strengths even though their personalities come out differently. It's all about fundamentals, really.

I was also taught that the product sells itself. If you've produced something that really fulfills a missing need or demand, you don't even need a huge auditorium to walk around on. The product will promote itself.

I remember watching this announcement live and being so impressed and excited about a silly electronic device. Since then, I think I have watched this maybe a dozen times over because it is such a great example of how to make an announcement. When I need to speak in front of a group, I find watching this again a good reminder of some winning techniques.

A quick trick for slideshows and presentations: To help create the storyline of the presentation, most people (as do I) are using the slides as chapters and cram the complete story on the slides. Do this: Copy the slideshow, go through every slide, erase everything except one or two words or even a single image. This way, you get a Jobs like slide show, minimalistic. Use your original slides as cue-cards or as handout. Audience attention is directed at the presenter, not the slideshow. Plus, it prevents the presenter from unconsciously reading from the slides, facing away from the audience. BTW, the Keynote app was originally created by Apple for Jobs' keynotes. He could not be caught using Microsoft PowerPoint.

Absolutely an A+ . I see an adequate preparedness in his speech, a thorough ownership of his speech content. Total confidence in his product delivery. I can't ask for.a better public speaker 💪

I give him an A especially considering he has a multitude of hard tasks running a global billion dollar business. Most CEO’s can barely get a passing grade for presentations without a teleprompter.

You're not wrong about many CEOs being relatively ineffective speakers.

still funny that the most important revolution of the iPhone was "internet communication" - nobody had any idea how revolutionary this aspect would become

I like how Jobs uses a narrative instead of question-answer.

Hi, Julie. Thanks for the positive words. I appreciate it.

Brilliant analysis - clear and concise

"AN IPOD. A PHONE. AND AN INTERNET COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE... ARE YOU GETTING IT?" I remember my Aunt telling me how much she freaked out during that part of the event. I wasn't alive when the phone was announced, but boy I would've freaked out during that announcement as well.

Powerful video and conclusion!

Fantastic video. Thank you for your great content

I agree, Alex. I found his pauses a bit exhausting for the same reasons as you, but it was still an excellent presentation.

Extraordinary content! I have recently discovered your channel and I am impressed by your objective analysis. I also find them very useful and practical to not just only identify the way we give or receive communication, but also how to set our boundaries. You point out all the key aspects that help people be more aware of their psychological shortcomings that come out from the communication we have and also give practical solutions. Thank you so much! 🙏

You are welcome, Anatoly. Thank you for your positive message.

let me tell you something.. im not communication expert by any means, but ive noticed that, if you know a subject better than the audience, and you know that you know more than them.. you will automatically be confident, and without confidence there will be no effective communication skills for sure.. so most important thing, know the ins and the outs of the subject before you open your mouth

It was a solid B+ for me. I agree with the pauses and to me the pacing was effected b/c of the pauses. To me the opening and conclusion both felt a bit sterile. The body details were much better. Maybe he really did practice so much it was robotic 😂. I look back at the Ashton Kutcher speech you covered (I know this is apples and oranges) but man that speech moved me. Steve Jobs had the biggest tech breakthrough on his hands, and his presentation was subdued. Perhaps it is due to his nature and him being himself, or maybe presenting this way leads way to let the product shine above the presentation. Either way it was epic and very well done. Thanks for sharing and creating a great video! I learned a lot!

That's fair. I agree that Kutcher's speech was much more passionate. I think it's more about audience and personality as if fits to the situation. Thanks for contributing as always.

You don't know what you're talking about, this was easily an A+ presentation, you really can't get any better than this.

Good video. I think that what made the speech fly was Steve’s persona. Most everyone, especially in the audience, knew how Steve presented new products. So his personality allowed him to do things, such as lots of pauses, slower pacing, and nonverbal behaviors, that would have otherwise not worked for less experienced presenters. I’ll give him a B, keeping in mind he didn’t follow all the rules. But rules were meant to be broken, especially if you have a persona of someone like Steve Jobs. Alex, thanks for your great comments and evaluation of this exceptional product presentation speech.

That's fair, Brian.

Fantastic presentation by Steve, and he must have a practiced it a few times. I will not put a number to the times he practiced, however, a rehearsal for or 4 or 5 times looks reasonable. Any number more than ten could have a negative effect. Alex, your smile during your presentation gives a glow on your face, and provides a positive effect. Do you practice before making a Video?

I don't "practice" much really as I would for an actual presentation, but I do have notes so I don't forget something important. The benefit of recording is that I can always redo something if I say something that comes out wrong. Then I cut out the mistakes later when I edit.

@@alexanderlyon Thanks, Alex.

Why am I crying watching this for the nth time

I actually always thought Steve said "you use your fingers too quickly". There should have been a pause.

He was presenting what he invented and whst he knows well, that made him the most confident presenter of all times!

Keeping in mind that the demo iPhones he had were still far away from functioning stable his confidence is even more astounding. I have watched the whole keynote 30 to 40 times because it is so great, even for Jobs.

thanck you

I had been using an ordinary cell phone until last December, and finally decided to get myself a smartphone (not an "iPhone" though). It took me a while to get used to it, but after a while, I realized what a wonderful time I'm having every morning and evening in bed listening to a meditation channel on KZread. An educational channel like yours can be watched while I'm out at the laundromat. Steven Jobs is really a great man so passionate about his creative mind. I know he was into Zen😊 That's awesome!

If there’s any imperfection during the pitch, I won’t blame him. Allegedly, the product was not ready and very crash - prone, even during practice they managed to demo everything without crash only several times. I would be sweating gallons if I were him

Thank you Alex, Steve showed a great example of how to effectively market a new product. Jobs's charisma, showmanship, and ability to make complex ideas accessible to a general audience made it a memorable event and set the standard for product launches in the tech industry. I think this review you put together added to its value lots. “home base”, “actively gesturing” “This is a less is more approach” “pauses” = I guess you get to notice and tend to less like them after li10+ and more times. Once or twice, you kind of like them a lot! A + to both of you!

It'd be interesting to analyse Alexander's reaction to Job's speech, especially at 4:05 & at 10:53. He's obviously a massive Apple fanboy. As such it's a sickeningly biased & I'd grade Alex's reaction as a D-.

RIP

A+ from my side. The problem-solution slide about keyboard was so effective! Thanks for reviewing, I do agree with you on the pauses and little bit of drama here and there. In hindsight that revolutionary product launch deserved it 😁

Wow. Thanks for the video. Definetely the speaker gets an A++ I think that if Jobs was an introvert, he did practiced a lot to achieve high excellence or perfection if Jobs was an extrovert, he rehearsed in his mind and went on stage to naturally flow. What do you think was he an introvert or extrovert?

@alexanderlyon

Жыл бұрын

Good question. I have not heard either way if he was an extrovert of introvert. But I know many introverts who are amazing public speakers and it gives the impression that they are extroverts. I'd be curious to see if that impacts the way they practice. The rumors about Jobs, however, is that he practiced on that very stage at least dozens of times for hours and hours.

1997 Macworld speech was far more emotional and better.
