What do you think? Would you be happy to see AppleвЂ™s live keynotes replaced by slick presentations such as yesterdayвЂ™s WWDC extravaganza? Tell us what you liked about MondayвЂ™s keynote - and what you didnвЂ™t - in the comments below.ItвЂ™s been a looooong day. Sound off: Did you like the WWDC 2020 keynote? ItвЂ™s just that the keynote doesnвЂ™t have to be among them. Apple can still pick and choose which elements of the live experience it keeps. These are still vital parts of the keynote, even if most of us donвЂ™t see them. And it shows off products for вЂњfirst lookвЂќ glimpses and hands-on sessions. After live events, Apple often makes executives available to talk. They undoubtedly would prefer not to race their rivals to snag the best seat, and then mess around with things like dodgy Wi-Fi.Д«ut there are parts of the live experience that Apple just canвЂ™t deliver with a taped presentation. I imagine many journalists would be happy not to travel to hear a presentation they could have watched online. Not everything can be done in this way, of course. Live events are still needed Jenny Chen shows off the Apple PencilвЂ™s new tricks from yet another locale. He wants to make Apple a вЂњ force for good in the world. Cook recently said he doesnвЂ™t view the CEOвЂ™s role of as chasing profits at all costs. It wasnвЂ™t the typical way Apple would open a keynote - but this isnвЂ™t a typical time. Tim Cook opened MondayвЂ™s keynote by addressing the topic of racism in America. Addressing other themes More lens flair than a J.J. ThatвЂ™s what the hands-on experience of using a product is for. But in the fake-it-till-you-make-it world of high tech, onstage demos shouldnвЂ™t be taken as gospel. Is a prerecorded format less вЂњrealвЂќ? Maybe. And even AppleвЂ™s enthusiastic, hand-selected audiences canвЂ™t always be counted on to react as desired.Д«y recording everything ahead of time, Apple seizes even more control over the way its product showcases. Meanwhile, Apple execs or partners occasionally flub lines. And even some product showcases that did go well, like the unveiling of the iPhone, very nearly didnвЂ™t. Still, technical snafus mar some Apple events. Plus, many people cut down keynotes into three-minute highlight packages for sharing on social media. Twitter has made it possible to react to announcements live, without requiring an audience response (or applause track) to tell us that somethingвЂ™s special. The way we watch keynotes has changed a lot in the past couple of decades. With not a wasted moment in sight, AppleвЂ™s presenters reeled off technical information at a pace that seemed greater than usual. By comparison, 2013вЂ™s WWDC keynote, at which Apple unveiled iOS 7, ran a massive 2 hours and 7 minutes, the length of a Hollywood blockbuster.Д®ven when keynotes compare in length to this yearвЂ™s edition, they feel longer.В A lot of time is taken up by applause, or presenters walking on and off the stage. ThatвЂ™s somewhat shorter than a normal Apple keynote. This year, we sailed through updates for every Apple platform - bringing some truly exciting changes - in just 1 hour and 45 minutes. Normally, that would sound like a bad thing. вЂњIs that it?вЂќ was my initial reaction at the close of MondayвЂ™s keynote. MacPaw is a proud sponsor of Cult of Mac's coverage of WWDC 2020.
