I agree. Since his passing, the new reveals are, well, just not "Steve" enough.

Could it be we're benchmarking the future product launches to what he has done? Were the other presenters trying to hard to copy him, instead of emulating? Could it be they dared not push the envelope too far, to respect Steve's work?

Justification, or just excuses?

I think as we grow old, we can reflect, tell your grand kids, that we lived during the time of giants. The time of Musks, Jobs, Gates, Zuckerbergs. Oh, and Scotts and Larimers too!
