Apple Event Mostly Boring even with Colbert



It began with roughly 45+ minutes of  headlines for the "Press" and tabloids.  And then went into an area where Apple has no business being: A comedy club routine about,  of all things "security".


Ill advised.



Everything’s better and faster. How could Apple be so boring?

Was Apple’s livestreamed iPad event really such a big yawn? Search Twitter for

“#AppleEvent yawn” or “Apple boring” and you’ll see tweet after tweet bemoaning the boring nature of Thursday’s press conference. It got so tedious for some, there were dozens of photos of napping dogs.

“Most boring Apple event ever,” tweeted one. “Bring back the Chinese translation.”


Part DEUX:

Maybe some of those folks are being facetious, but there’s a grain of truth in the tweets:

Nothing about Thursday’s event, except for maybe Stephen Colbert’s crackup comedy bit with Craig Federighi, was super-compelling on the surface. Many of the specs had been leaked (some even by Apple itself), and the rumor mill proved pretty accurate in the run-up to the presentation.

Still, this was no Phantom Menace. I mean really, what were people expecting?

 

Jetpacks, aliens and electric cars?

 


This is Apple’s big dilemma right now: How do you top yourself when you make the best products in the world?
