00:00:54 ◼   ► Yeah.

00:00:55 ◼   ► Where's Scott Simpson?

00:00:56 ◼   ► I have literally no idea.

00:00:58 ◼   ► [audience laughs]

00:00:59 ◼   ► You, I, did you, did you like,

00:01:01 ◼   ► [imitates

00:01:01 ◼   ► Get with him?

00:01:03 ◼   ► Oh see, I was not under the impression that that was something that I was false under the rubric of my general...

00:01:09 ◼   ► I guess I assumed that was something John would take care of.

00:01:11 ◼   ► I had also likewise assumed that John would be taking care of this, notifying our partner.

00:01:19 ◼   ► It's great to be here! How are you guys doing tonight?

00:01:21 ◼   ► This is going really, really...

00:01:23 ◼   ► Woo! Am I right?

00:01:25 ◼   ► This is going really well. I see some friends in the audience.

00:01:27 ◼   ► Oh my god you guys. Oh so many. Five, seven, nine...

00:01:29 ◼   ► Nine...

00:01:31 ◼   ► Nine friends in the audience.

00:01:33 ◼   ► This guy had no idea.

00:01:35 ◼   ► He had no idea.

00:01:37 ◼   ► Oh that's...

00:01:39 ◼   ► F***ing Groober!

00:01:41 ◼   ► Jesus!

00:01:43 ◼   ► What a homemade piece of shit that guy is.

00:01:45 ◼   ► No, no.

00:01:47 ◼   ► He is great.

00:01:49 ◼   ► We're all here to celebrate John Groober.

00:01:51 ◼   ► I used to be into him.

00:01:53 ◼   ► I used to be into him.

00:01:55 ◼   ► Oh I was there in the beginning.

00:01:57 ◼   ► into Apple stuff. And I was there for a while. Me too, I love his Apple writing.

00:02:02 ◼   ► He writes about Apple stuff. Sometimes when he posts from Disneyland he remembers to close the

00:02:09 ◼   ► bracket. No, I'm super into John. But no, I am too. I love him.

00:02:17 ◼   ► Yes. We're here for him tonight to celebrate John Gruber. We're all here.

00:02:22 ◼   ► Doesn't it seem like he phones it in a little bit these days though? I had not noticed that.

00:02:26 ◼   ► Yeah, really? You don't notice that?

00:02:27 ◼   ► No, interesting. No, I think he's a solid writer.

00:02:30 ◼   ► Claim chowder? You don't notice that?

00:02:32 ◼   ► I mean, come on! It's the biggest company in the world, like they're doing fine.

00:02:38 ◼   ► You don't notice that?

00:02:40 ◼   ► Yeah, but the haters, the haters must be punished.

00:02:43 ◼   ► Oh, the haters, the haters.

00:02:45 ◼   ► Ooh, they hate John.

00:02:47 ◼   ► I heard he actually uses WordPress.

00:02:50 ◼   ► Ah.

00:02:51 ◼   ► With the cash off, because it doesn't really matter.

00:02:54 ◼   ► It's not nearly as popular as it seems.

00:02:56 ◼   ► Nothing against the guy.

00:02:58 ◼   ► He's not as tall as he seems, but...

00:03:00 ◼   ► [laughter]

00:03:02 ◼   ► That is true. That is true.

00:03:04 ◼   ► He's much, much shorter in person.

00:03:06 ◼   ► I heard he's actually not that into the Yankees.

00:03:08 ◼   ► [laughter]

00:03:10 ◼   ► Too...

00:03:12 ◼   ► Just a little too far.

00:03:14 ◼   ► A little too close to home?

00:03:16 ◼   ► You know, I just... I was there with him.

00:03:18 ◼   ► I was there every step of the way.

00:03:20 ◼   ► I wanted to be there.

00:03:22 ◼   ► But we're here for him tonight. We love the guy.

00:03:24 ◼   ► Yes, we're definitely. Yeah, Gruber.

00:03:26 ◼   ► All of us. John Gruber.

00:03:27 ◼   ► We got a poll for John Gruber. John Gruber everybody. John Gruber.

00:03:29 ◼   ► [Audience cheers]

00:03:31 ◼   ► John Gruber.

00:03:32 ◼   ► The top show.

00:03:33 ◼   ► I kind of feel a little bit like you're defending him.

00:03:35 ◼   ► Like you're kind of a little bit on his side.

00:03:37 ◼   ► Well of course I am. He is the reason that I am who I am today.

00:03:40 ◼   ► In every way. In every way.

00:03:42 ◼   ► Really? You're the man you are now is because of John.

00:03:45 ◼   ► Pretty much.

00:03:46 ◼   ► Okay. Kind of don't get that.

00:03:48 ◼   ► Something Apple, he had a site, it's the Apple stuff.

00:03:52 ◼   ► - It's the, well, you know, it's his passion,

00:03:54 ◼   ► his singular passion and vision

00:03:56 ◼   ► for the whole landscape of Apple

00:04:00 ◼   ► and the culture of Apple.

00:04:02 ◼   ► It's a celebration.

00:04:03 ◼   ► - It's a culture and celebration.

00:04:04 ◼   ► - That means something, it's very dear to me.

00:04:07 ◼   ► - Technology?

00:04:08 ◼   ► - What are you doing right now?

00:04:10 ◼   ► - I'm just, I'm literally curious

00:04:12 ◼   ► about how he's inspired you.

00:04:13 ◼   ► - Yeah, but we, this is not about me, it's about--

00:04:16 ◼   ► - No.

00:04:16 ◼   ► Is it about the ads?

00:04:20 ◼   ► Okay, okay. So...

00:04:24 ◼   ► No, this is fine.

00:04:28 ◼   ► No, tell him! Go ahead, tell him. It's like a personal project for me.

00:04:32 ◼   ► John's sponsored reads.

00:04:36 ◼   ► I don't know if you guys remember when he started doing these, it was just...

00:04:40 ◼   ► He can almost pronounce fracture.

00:04:44 ◼   ► you could almost pronounce most words and

00:04:49 ◼   ► sure see if we both love being on his show right oh yeah we do we love I love

00:04:53 ◼   ► it I mean I've had a great time as a guest on his show the reason in real

00:04:57 ◼   ► time and then the second and third time he does it you just see right yeah you

00:05:01 ◼   ► just nod nod no it's an audio presence of the master yes yeah you sort of you

00:05:07 ◼   ► sort of make up a story about the sponsor yeah right I'm not getting paid

00:05:12 ◼   ► I feel like there might be a set of Christmas lights in front of him and it lights up and

00:05:17 ◼   ► It just goes glass base and then then like he says some words

00:05:20 ◼   ► It's kind of just a general like chef's salad of words to come out, but here's what I did

00:05:24 ◼   ► I noticed that he had a he had a little difficulty really selling it selling the product

00:05:30 ◼   ► This is early on and I took him and I I took him under my wing and I molded him

00:05:35 ◼   ► He's like a child to you. Yeah. Yeah, that's yes

00:05:38 ◼   ► So there is some sort of ownership over John's sponsorship with Reed's which are really like really world-class

00:05:44 ◼   ► They are seriously the really good less slightly best CPMs to be they are

00:05:50 ◼   ► Literally not the worst in the world so much every week

00:05:53 ◼   ► Any more but then that's that's it's inspired you. It's like you see a child. Yeah, right

00:05:58 ◼   ► I'm gonna I'm gonna build a swing sedan. I'm gonna push you all I'm saying is

00:06:02 ◼   ► He used to be and now he is yes. He's a giant in the sponsored Reed's world

00:06:08 ◼   ► You know, it's really true. Our thanks to John Gruber.

00:06:12 ◼   ► He's not as bad as he seems, really.

00:06:18 ◼   ► No.

00:06:19 ◼   ► He kinda is.

00:06:20 ◼   ► No, he's quite good. And that is why it is a tremendous, tremendous honor for Merlin and I to be here.

00:06:27 ◼   ► There's a reason we call him the chairman.

00:06:29 ◼   ► Ladies and gentlemen, John Gruber.

00:06:31 ◼   ► [APPLAUSE]

00:06:34 ◼   ► Thanks, Scott.

00:06:45 ◼   ► [LAUGHTER]

00:06:48 ◼   ► Welcome to the fourth annual live from WWDC talk show.

00:07:00 ◼   ► I am John Gruber.

00:07:01 ◼   ► This is the talk show.

00:07:01 ◼   ► I'm assuming most of you are familiar with the situation.

00:07:05 ◼   ► I have some administrative stuff to take care of

00:07:09 ◼   ► before we really start the show proper.

00:07:11 ◼   ► I will reiterate like I did last year,

00:07:14 ◼   ► we have an open bar and we have a great sponsor

00:07:18 ◼   ► who we can thank for that.

00:07:19 ◼   ► You are all drinking on their dime and that's MailChimp.

00:07:22 ◼   ► (audience cheering)

00:07:25 ◼   ► If you don't know MailChimp

00:07:28 ◼   ► and you ever have the need for email marketing,

00:07:32 ◼   ► really check them out, MailChimp.com.

00:07:34 ◼   ► Not kidding, I remember,

00:07:36 ◼   ► did you guys remember this two years ago?

00:07:37 ◼   ► There's like a minimum here on the bar

00:07:39 ◼   ► and we came up short.

00:07:40 ◼   ► And it was very embarrassing to me.

00:07:44 ◼   ► And then I told you guys this last year.

00:07:45 ◼   ► I said, "So seriously, drink."

00:07:47 ◼   ► And we went way over last year.

00:07:49 ◼   ► That was better, that was better.

00:07:53 ◼   ► So do that again.

00:07:54 ◼   ► If you're thirsty, go get another one.

00:07:56 ◼   ► Seriously, it's all on MailChimp. My thanks to them.

00:07:58 ◼   ► First time this year we have live video.

00:08:04 ◼   ► So we are hopefully, knock on wood,

00:08:07 ◼   ► going out to the world at large. Better to be here live,

00:08:12 ◼   ► but second best, watch it on the stream.

00:08:15 ◼   ► And that is thanks to Fracture.

00:08:20 ◼   ► You guys know Fracture.

00:08:21 ◼   ► (audience laughing and applauding)

00:08:25 ◼   ► Anybody here doesn't know Fracture?

00:08:31 ◼   ► Well, if you don't, they have this great service.

00:08:35 ◼   ► You go to fractureme.com, that's their website.

00:08:38 ◼   ► You send them your photos, they print them on glass.

00:08:42 ◼   ► There's no frame around it,

00:08:43 ◼   ► it's just right there on the glass.

00:08:45 ◼   ► It looks amazing, they have great prices,

00:08:48 ◼   ► They have sizes ranging from like these index cards all the way up to big 23 inch by 29 inch size.

00:08:56 ◼   ► Can't go wrong. Go check them out and they have a special code just for this show.

00:09:00 ◼   ► They want to see just how well this show did.

00:09:02 ◼   ► If you use the code WWDC, very easy to spell, you'll save 15% on anything you order.

00:09:12 ◼   ► So that's a tremendous deal. So my thanks to Fracture.

00:09:15 ◼   ► And last but not least, the event itself is sponsored by a small software company in Seattle.

00:09:25 ◼   ► They're a company called Microsoft.

00:09:29 ◼   ► You guys know that. I mean, I write about Microsoft all the time.

00:09:34 ◼   ► But no joke, here's the thing.

00:09:38 ◼   ► If anybody here, has anybody here been to this show before in previous years?

00:09:42 ◼   ► So this is their third year sponsoring the live talk show. I mean this is you

00:09:48 ◼   ► know it's not that odd anymore. It really isn't and and they've really

00:09:54 ◼   ► pivoted. They've made major investments in in their developer tools and their

00:10:00 ◼   ► cloud infrastructure and built it out in a way that is it's tremendous for iOS

00:10:07 ◼   ► Mac developers even Android developers but any platform they really have grown

00:10:12 ◼   ► past being just about Windows and it's great stuff. We use it at Vesper for sync.

00:10:17 ◼   ► Our sync system has never had a problem due to the hosting stuff there. It is

00:10:22 ◼   ► absolutely rock-solid. I recommend it even if they weren't a sponsor I would

00:10:26 ◼   ► recommend it but check them out. They have a special website that they've made

00:10:30 ◼   ► and it's for their appeal to app developers regardless of your platform

00:10:35 ◼   ► and the website is any app, any dev dot com.

00:10:40 ◼   ► A-N-Y A-P-P A-N-Y D-E-F dot com.

00:10:45 ◼   ► Go check it out, that's their message to you.

00:10:47 ◼   ► I mean, but they're all over the place this year.

00:10:50 ◼   ► They sponsored Down Rumple's Beard Bash last night,

00:10:53 ◼   ► they sponsored Alt Conf, all sorts of great stuff.

00:10:57 ◼   ► So my thanks to them.

00:10:59 ◼   ► (audience applauding)

00:11:03 ◼   ► So I have one guest for tonight,

00:11:12 ◼   ► and it truly is, I use the words all the time

00:11:14 ◼   ► when Moltz is on the show, I say a very special guest.

00:11:17 ◼   ► That's not a very special guest.

00:11:19 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:11:20 ◼   ► This time I do have a very special guest,

00:11:24 ◼   ► and I am very excited to introduce him.

00:11:29 ◼   ► Ladies and gentlemen, I shit you not, Phil Schiller.

00:11:36 ◼   ► (Applause.)

00:11:59 ◼   ► (audience cheering)

00:12:02 ◼   ► One giant selfie, everybody, no.

00:12:19 ◼   ► (audience cheering)

00:12:26 ◼   ► Wow.

00:12:28 ◼   ► And I think Moltz is so funny, so I can't believe I got the cheer.

00:12:31 ◼   ► [laughter]

00:12:34 ◼   ► So my first question every year at this event is always,

00:12:39 ◼   ► "How'd you think the keynote went yesterday?"

00:12:41 ◼   ► [laughter]

00:12:44 ◼   ► Well, they finally introduced all the things I was expecting, so...

00:12:48 ◼   ► [laughter]

00:12:50 ◼   ► I think it went amazing. I was so impressed.

00:12:53 ◼   ► And everyone did a great job, from Tim on to Jimmy,

00:12:57 ◼   ► to Jimmy and and yeah a lot of work goes into it so you know I don't I don't

00:13:02 ◼   ► think a company in this earth could have done better. I heard some laughter when

00:13:09 ◼   ► you said Jimmy. Alright one person who did not appear on stage was you which

00:13:21 ◼   ► was highly unusual. How many how many keynotes in a row had you been on stage

00:13:26 ◼   ► prior to that? I've taken part either presenting or demoing over 50 keynotes in a row.

00:13:31 ◼   ► So you should have gone for 56 would have been like a Joe DiMaggio streak.

00:13:41 ◼   ► No no no there was no other reason than it just worked out that way this time

00:13:47 ◼   ► and I worked really hard on it so.

00:13:51 ◼   ► I thought that the opening with a Bill Hader short film was so great but like so over-the-top well-produced.

00:14:04 ◼   ► Like when did the gears get started on doing that?

00:14:09 ◼   ► Well a year ago we started thinking we need a really good video next year, truly.

00:14:16 ◼   ► and I think about three weeks ago we came up with the idea.

00:14:19 ◼   ► So...

00:14:22 ◼   ► By the way, if anyone has a really good idea for an opening video next year,

00:14:27 ◼   ► shilleratapple.com, I'll take all suggestions.

00:14:31 ◼   ► We do. What's that?

00:14:37 ◼   ► My only complaint is that it seemed to me that you cheated at the end

00:14:41 ◼   ► because that didn't look like

00:14:44 ◼   ► Presidio.

00:14:46 ◼   ► So the idea of the video, and we knew it would throw some people, so you're in that group,

00:14:52 ◼   ► that it started by saying yesterday's rehearsal, and it was meant to be in a secret location

00:15:00 ◼   ► where they were rehearsing separate from Moscone so people wouldn't know what the big production

00:15:05 ◼   ► was, and that was the reason that it looked different, and that's our story and we'll

00:15:12 ◼   ► stick to it.

00:15:15 ◼   ► I should state up front that the rules for this interview were actually extremely simple.

00:15:24 ◼   ► Phil said to me, "Ask me anything.

00:15:27 ◼   ► I may not answer everything."

00:15:31 ◼   ► This is true.

00:15:35 ◼   ► But you know our PR rules, if you ask me some questions I don't like, you'll never speak

00:15:38 ◼   ► to us again for the rest of your life.

00:15:45 ◼   ► true. Whoever said yeah doesn't know I'm not gonna use that word. Meanwhile

00:15:55 ◼   ► someone from Apple PR is up there with a gun pointed at my head like a like a

00:16:00 ◼   ► stun gun. Yes. So like if I go down and then Adam is right there ready to come

00:16:05 ◼   ► out and take over so the show will go on. All right a serious question very

00:16:12 ◼   ► serious and it's going to come out differently today, a day after the keynote

00:16:19 ◼   ► than I maybe expected it to. But I'm sure you've noticed it that it and it's not

00:16:26 ◼   ► just this year it's been growing over the last few years is people keeping

00:16:32 ◼   ► track of the diversity of the speakers in keynote addresses of various companies

00:16:37 ◼   ► at various events and that one way that Apple has had an imbalance in that regard is the

00:16:46 ◼   ► number of women in keynotes.

00:16:50 ◼   ► Now yesterday that, talking about streaks, that streak was over.

00:16:55 ◼   ► Jennifer Bailey introduced Apple Pay or the improvements to Apple Pay and Susan Prescott,

00:17:07 ◼   ► I thought killed it.

00:17:09 ◼   ► Didn't she?

00:17:09 ◼   ► She did.

00:17:10 ◼   ► [APPLAUSE]

00:17:13 ◼   ► I honestly think that the I read ESPN for the articles

00:17:16 ◼   ► got a bigger laugh than the Bill Hader thing.

00:17:19 ◼   ► I mean, that-- but talk to me about that.

00:17:22 ◼   ► Like, does that deserve a finally?

00:17:26 ◼   ► No.

00:17:27 ◼   ► And in fact, honestly, far from it.

00:17:29 ◼   ► It deserves a that's good, more of it, not a finally.

00:17:34 ◼   ► Yeah, there's clearly-- there's either some really high-pitched

00:17:38 ◼   ► guys out there or there are women in the audience.

00:17:40 ◼   ► I can't see anything, so that's awesome.

00:17:42 ◼   ► This is clearly a topic that's been growing in technology,

00:17:51 ◼   ► not just about Apple, but all companies,

00:17:53 ◼   ► and particularly here in the Valley.

00:17:55 ◼   ► And it's long overdue, and it's been gaining momentum

00:17:59 ◼   ► that there are not enough women and minorities

00:18:03 ◼   ► both represented across all technology companies.

00:18:06 ◼   ► It's time to start counting it, paying attention to it,

00:18:08 ◼   ► but more importantly, doing something proactively to help.

00:18:12 ◼   ► And there are a lot of things that Tim has championed

00:18:17 ◼   ► and driven at Apple now under his leadership.

00:18:20 ◼   ► And this is one of those things on the list.

00:18:22 ◼   ► He cares deeply about diversity at Apple

00:18:25 ◼   ► and believes that this isn't just something

00:18:26 ◼   ► to do because people tell you to do it,

00:18:28 ◼   ► but because ultimately we will make better products.

00:18:31 ◼   ► and our customers will get better products because you

00:18:33 ◼   ► have a diverse group of people all bringing their talents

00:18:36 ◼   ► and ideas to making those products.

00:18:39 ◼   ► And ultimately, you'll do a better job

00:18:40 ◼   ► and we'll all be happier.

00:18:42 ◼   ► And so how do you do that?

00:18:43 ◼   ► Well, there are a number of things you do.

00:18:45 ◼   ► One of them is you present some role models and say, look,

00:18:48 ◼   ► you can be a young girl in technology

00:18:50 ◼   ► who wants to learn to become a programmer,

00:18:53 ◼   ► become a marketing person, whatever.

00:18:55 ◼   ► And there are people who have gone that path

00:18:57 ◼   ► and been successful.

00:18:58 ◼   ► And you should, too.

00:18:59 ◼   ► look up to that and want to be that.

00:19:01 ◼   ► And he cares deeply about it.

00:19:03 ◼   ► And so we were really happy with this show

00:19:05 ◼   ► that we had both Jennifer and Susan.

00:19:09 ◼   ► Their roles are deeply involved in exactly what they presented.

00:19:13 ◼   ► Jennifer's worked on Apple Pay from the start.

00:19:15 ◼   ► I've been working with Jennifer at Apple

00:19:18 ◼   ► since late '80s, early '90s.

00:19:22 ◼   ► Susan's worked on my team for a good decade

00:19:24 ◼   ► now doing product marketing.

00:19:27 ◼   ► And not only are they really smart, great speakers,

00:19:31 ◼   ► deeply involved and passionate about Apple,

00:19:34 ◼   ► but those are two vice presidents at Apple, right?

00:19:36 ◼   ► They're in leadership roles, and so that's good.

00:19:39 ◼   ► It's a start.

00:19:40 ◼   ► We wanna see more and more of that always.

00:19:42 ◼   ► - Right.

00:19:43 ◼   ► (audience cheering)

00:19:46 ◼   ► Right, and my take has always been that the gist of it

00:19:54 ◼   ► is it has to be more than just the surface level

00:19:57 ◼   ► okay, we'll pick a woman or somebody else or person of color to go on stage because the way you guys do the keynotes

00:20:05 ◼   ► it's the people who are responsible for the thing doing it and so there needed to be Apple Pay news

00:20:10 ◼   ► for

00:20:12 ◼   ► Jennifer Bailey to go out and do it

00:20:14 ◼   ► Exactly, right, and so that's even better though because it means that there really are in these positions of influence and

00:20:21 ◼   ► You know getting shit done. Yes

00:20:26 ◼   ► All right.

00:20:28 ◼   ► What kind of deal does Eddie Q have with the devil?

00:20:33 ◼   ► He's a Duke fan, and they won the championship. He's a Warriors fan. They've never even been in the finals before. Now

00:20:42 ◼   ► they're in the finals. What is going on there?

00:20:44 ◼   ► Well, let me unwind that question because there's two different parts to it.

00:20:50 ◼   ► First, Duke. It's no secret. Eddie went to Duke.

00:20:55 ◼   ► been a fan since he was in college. He, you know, is good friends with Coach K. If

00:21:01 ◼   ► you don't know Duke in basketball, Coach K is the greatest winning NCAA

00:21:05 ◼   ► coach. And so rooting for Duke, like, isn't a big gamble that they're not

00:21:11 ◼   ► going to win some championships because they can do it whether he roots for them or

00:21:14 ◼   ► not. But he has rooted for them since college. So that's not it.

00:21:19 ◼   ► You don't need a big deal to make that happen. That's happening. But the

00:21:24 ◼   ► Warriors, Eddie has been a fan of theirs for a couple decades going to games. So

00:21:30 ◼   ► he's been through some lean times and he's due. And so if you know Eddie like

00:21:36 ◼   ► I do and we're really great close friends, Eddie is one of the most loyal

00:21:40 ◼   ► people you can ever have as a friend or a co-worker. And so he's been loyal to

00:21:44 ◼   ► his sports teams. And the last thing I'll say on this is if somebody's doing

00:21:48 ◼   ► a deal with the devil for the Warriors, that's one crappy deal because it's been

00:21:52 ◼   ► 40 years without a championship,

00:21:54 ◼   ► you're not a good deal maker.

00:21:56 ◼   ► [laughter]

00:21:58 ◼   ► I care. I care.

00:22:01 ◼   ► - All right, let's get down to some of the products

00:22:03 ◼   ► that you guys talked about yesterday in WWDC.

00:22:07 ◼   ► So I think I'll stick roughly to the order, you know,

00:22:10 ◼   ► go in your order.

00:22:11 ◼   ► OS10, L--

00:22:13 ◼   ► I'm gonna mispronounce it.

00:22:15 ◼   ► [laughter]

00:22:16 ◼   ► Cap-- Capitan.

00:22:17 ◼   ► - You said it well last show.

00:22:19 ◼   ► show. I'm a good guesser. I really did guess. At least one of you did. It is, I

00:22:45 ◼   ► know there are definitely new features there some of the features are very cool

00:22:49 ◼   ► I love the mouse shake thing. I'm serious. I have a giant 5k iMac. I need to know where my mouse is.

00:22:57 ◼   ► But there used to be an init way back in like the ancient era that did the same thing. Yes.

00:23:05 ◼   ► When the screens were this big. I know. You had a nine inch black and white Mac screen. You had to

00:23:11 ◼   ► go like this to find a cursor. What was wrong with us? But yeah, in fact, I kid you not, I did it this

00:23:18 ◼   ► afternoon I was working on some slides, I'm on a 27-inch iMac and I went "oh where's my cursor"

00:23:22 ◼   ► and I like did the shake like "oh I'm not on El Capitan yet on this system it's not working"

00:23:27 ◼   ► it becomes very intuitive very quickly. In large part though I guess there are some new features

00:23:34 ◼   ► but it is mostly like a stability and refinement release of OS X or at least in large part that's

00:23:40 ◼   ► part of the focus of it and that was what led me to guess El Capitan because it's like there was

00:23:46 ◼   ► Leopard and then Snow Leopard which was sort of a hey let's slow down the new

00:23:49 ◼   ► features and work on reliability and then there was Lion and Mountain Lion

00:23:52 ◼   ► and I thought there's no such thing as Mountain Yosemite so...

00:23:59 ◼   ► Very astute but to your to your to your point no we don't think of it as

00:24:08 ◼   ► only a stability and performance release that is a big part of it but the

00:24:14 ◼   ► features the teams have worked on we think will matter to all of us in our

00:24:17 ◼   ► everyday lives using these these systems and they took a lot of work and some of

00:24:23 ◼   ► them will have significant ramifications for a long time. I think most of all with

00:24:29 ◼   ► Metal on the Mac on that. It's a huge opportunity for all of us so I think

00:24:34 ◼   ► there's some really important things in this. Yeah I guess that is a big one and

00:24:37 ◼   ► it really does sort of it's like this virtuous circle where you've got all

00:24:43 ◼   ► these game developers, top game developers, cranking on iOS games for years and adopting

00:24:50 ◼   ► Metal very quickly in the last year and already having code ready to go.

00:24:55 ◼   ► And it really does, iOS is really helping the Mac here in terms of elevating the Mac

00:25:00 ◼   ► as a gaming platform.

00:25:01 ◼   ► Absolutely, especially in this case.

00:25:04 ◼   ► It's this great leverage there.

00:25:06 ◼   ► But it's not just for the gaming.

00:25:07 ◼   ► I mean, that's a big part of it.

00:25:08 ◼   ► It's great for Pro apps.

00:25:10 ◼   ► And we've seen that.

00:25:11 ◼   ► Adobe came in and did some work and were really impressed with what they could do on it.

00:25:15 ◼   ► And our own teams have done it with systems, as Craig talked about, to have graphic software

00:25:20 ◼   ► layers from the system starting to get accelerated with it.

00:25:23 ◼   ► We see big benefits.

00:25:24 ◼   ► So I think it is a system-wide opportunity.

00:25:27 ◼   ► My son just wanted to thank you for the gaming.

00:25:33 ◼   ► But there has been in the last year a sort of, I don't know if it's a meme, but a sort

00:25:41 ◼   ► talking point that gained a lot of yeah me too I agree the basic gist of it

00:25:46 ◼   ► being Apple software isn't as reliable as it used to be and it got out there I

00:25:52 ◼   ► don't know I forget somebody wrote something about that

00:25:56 ◼   ► no no let's let's just deal with the elephant in the room

00:26:04 ◼   ► Marco

00:26:09 ◼   ► So there's a reason many of you read Marco's blog. He's a smart guy and he's a

00:26:18 ◼   ► passionate guy and I read his stuff too. So it's worth it. And so complete

00:26:25 ◼   ► respect for your perspective and your belief. Don't share them in this instance

00:26:29 ◼   ► but I respect it and I mean that. They're...

00:26:36 ◼   ► try to be magnanimous and you somehow step in it.

00:26:40 ◼   ► So there's no doubt with every release there's bugs

00:26:45 ◼   ► and there's things we hit on and there's things

00:26:48 ◼   ► that the team's passionate about getting out there

00:26:50 ◼   ► and fixing, but we're also very careful about

00:26:53 ◼   ► tracking crash logs and AppleCare calls

00:26:58 ◼   ► and Genius Bar visits and we even have a tool

00:27:00 ◼   ► that is able to follow a lot of user forms

00:27:06 ◼   ► to ascertain what the complaints are,

00:27:09 ◼   ► and try to really gather a good set of metrics

00:27:12 ◼   ► on all the issues.

00:27:14 ◼   ► And in this case, I do think the storyline isn't really

00:27:18 ◼   ► accurate with the reality.

00:27:20 ◼   ► Not to say there aren't bugs and there aren't things driving

00:27:23 ◼   ► some people crazy.

00:27:24 ◼   ► There are.

00:27:24 ◼   ► Of course there are.

00:27:25 ◼   ► But it isn't a change.

00:27:29 ◼   ► In fact, if there's any change, I

00:27:30 ◼   ► think the biggest change in Yosemite,

00:27:32 ◼   ► truthfully, over the last year, was

00:27:34 ◼   ► that we had a faster adoption rate of OS X than of any Mac OS in history.

00:27:41 ◼   ► And so you saw a larger number of users faster in the release cycle in more diverse networks

00:27:47 ◼   ► and environments in different uses and that surfaced even more things that would kind

00:27:52 ◼   ► of happen over a slower ramp.

00:27:55 ◼   ► And so there were things to chase out and go work on, no doubt about it.

00:28:00 ◼   ► But I wouldn't say it's systemic to some issue or some wider thing going on, not in any way.

00:28:06 ◼   ► The feedback I got, it seemed like you guys were taken a little surprised by that because

00:28:11 ◼   ► a lot of the things that you measure were all saying this is better than before.

00:28:15 ◼   ► We're seeing fewer crash logs per user.

00:28:18 ◼   ► We're seeing fewer of certain problems.

00:28:21 ◼   ► And I kind of feel like maybe what got lost in the shuffle there is that a lot of the

00:28:24 ◼   ► problems people were having were things that don't even generate crash logs.

00:28:28 ◼   ► it's sort of like, you know, like some of this discovery D stuff is just like all

00:28:34 ◼   ► of a sudden my printer just isn't connected anymore. But it's... Hey, we take

00:28:41 ◼   ► the good, you gotta take the good the bad, that's okay. I'll get it out of your

00:28:44 ◼   ► system, let's laugh about it. Okay. You know, there's an example where I think

00:28:55 ◼   ► everyone should be proud that if we're going to try something,

00:28:58 ◼   ► it's great to try things.

00:29:00 ◼   ► Sometimes it's OK to take a risk.

00:29:01 ◼   ► You don't want everything to stay and never change.

00:29:04 ◼   ► But if things aren't perfect and people are telling us

00:29:07 ◼   ► they're not happy with how something's working,

00:29:09 ◼   ► here we are.

00:29:10 ◼   ► We haven't shipped El Capitan yet.

00:29:12 ◼   ► Already dealing with that within this one year cycle inside

00:29:16 ◼   ► of that to make a big change to make things better.

00:29:19 ◼   ► And I think that's a sign of how much the team is

00:29:21 ◼   ► willing to self-analyze what the situation is

00:29:24 ◼   ► and do whatever's right.

00:29:31 ◼   ► So, just for the record, before we move on to the next topic,

00:29:38 ◼   ► you guys do read the radars that they file.

00:29:43 ◼   ► Yes.

00:29:47 ◼   ► Next up was iOS, iOS 9.

00:29:50 ◼   ► And there's a lot in iOS 9, and there's the multitasking,

00:29:54 ◼   ► and the keyboard, and the trackpad.

00:29:57 ◼   ► All, to me, the gist of it is for a lot of people,

00:30:02 ◼   ► this becomes a lot more of a productivity machine,

00:30:05 ◼   ► than a huge leap forward for advanced iOS users, iPad users.

00:30:10 ◼   ► In particular, the iPad features that the team

00:30:13 ◼   ► for the last couple years has been looking at,

00:30:16 ◼   ► what we think would be changes in experience.

00:30:19 ◼   ► Remember, when we launched the iPad and the very first iPad,

00:30:22 ◼   ► a lot of work went into rewriting

00:30:24 ◼   ► all of the applications of the system

00:30:26 ◼   ► to take advantage of that big, beautiful screen.

00:30:28 ◼   ► And a lot of thought went into that.

00:30:30 ◼   ► And then we put that out in the world

00:30:33 ◼   ► and saw how people use it, and then we went back to it

00:30:35 ◼   ► and said, well, what are the next things

00:30:37 ◼   ► we need to do unique for iPad to make

00:30:39 ◼   ► it a more productive, more useful product in the things

00:30:42 ◼   ► you do?

00:30:43 ◼   ► And one of the things was to help

00:30:47 ◼   ► you use multiple applications in new ways.

00:30:49 ◼   ► And it actually took a couple years of development

00:30:52 ◼   ► to get to this.

00:30:53 ◼   ► It wasn't like someone woke up six months ago and said, hey,

00:30:56 ◼   ► let's do multi-window multitasking on this.

00:30:58 ◼   ► It took a while to, for example, put out last year the size

00:31:03 ◼   ► classes and auto layout in iOS so people can develop

00:31:07 ◼   ► essentially for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

00:31:10 ◼   ► But we knew that by doing that work,

00:31:12 ◼   ► we were laying the groundwork to make this happen with El Capitan

00:31:15 ◼   ► as well.

00:31:16 ◼   ► So some of these things take multiple years to put everything in place to do it the right

00:31:20 ◼   ► way.

00:31:21 ◼   ► Because you can rush it out and do it the wrong way, and then we don't all like where

00:31:24 ◼   ► we are.

00:31:25 ◼   ► I thought it was the...

00:31:26 ◼   ► I was sitting, not in the middle, but farther back, I was really in the mix with the developers

00:31:31 ◼   ► too.

00:31:32 ◼   ► And I thought that that got the weirdest reaction, like the most mixed reaction from the crowd,

00:31:36 ◼   ► was when Craig said, "You've already done the work.

00:31:39 ◼   ► If you've been listening to us and done this auto layout and the sides classes, you've

00:31:43 ◼   ► already got it."

00:31:44 ◼   ► And there was this really mixed reaction where it seemed like half of the developers were

00:31:47 ◼   ► like "Yes!"

00:31:50 ◼   ► And they totally understood how Twitter maybe came in and really did like 50 minutes of

00:31:54 ◼   ► work and got it working because they already had it.

00:31:57 ◼   ► And then the other half of the developers were like "Uhhhh."

00:32:00 ◼   ► Like when you guys offer a hint as to what developers should be doing, people should

00:32:08 ◼   ► take the hint.

00:32:10 ◼   ► I think our batting average is pretty good on that.

00:32:12 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:32:15 ◼   ► - Wow, that's weird.

00:32:18 ◼   ► My next question was about 64-bit carbon.

00:32:21 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:32:24 ◼   ► That's an old note from a,

00:32:25 ◼   ► this card is very old.

00:32:28 ◼   ► This is from a, hold on.

00:32:30 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:32:33 ◼   ► This is our audience, Phil.

00:32:40 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:32:42 ◼   ► - A 64-bit Carmen joke got allowed.

00:32:44 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:32:47 ◼   ► - A pain's allowed.

00:32:49 ◼   ► - Yeah, there's probably some angry people out there.

00:32:51 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:32:54 ◼   ► It's all good now.

00:32:55 ◼   ► Last thing on iOS, and it's a big thing,

00:32:58 ◼   ► and I really thought you guys hit it several times.

00:33:01 ◼   ► I think you almost couldn't have been more clear on it,

00:33:04 ◼   ► and I really think it is the biggest story

00:33:07 ◼   ► in the industry this year.

00:33:09 ◼   ► I mean, you know, it's not like a flash in the pan.

00:33:11 ◼   ► I think it's ongoing.

00:33:13 ◼   ► But it's hard to summarize, but it's

00:33:15 ◼   ► this idea of contextual awareness with your devices

00:33:20 ◼   ► and services in terms of telling you if it's going to rain,

00:33:24 ◼   ► or the Craig's example of knowing

00:33:26 ◼   ► you're getting in your car.

00:33:29 ◼   ► You know, traffic patterns, you got to leave for the airport,

00:33:32 ◼   ► all these type of features.

00:33:36 ◼   ► and how a company and a platform could implement them

00:33:42 ◼   ► with the flip side of...

00:33:44 ◼   ► How did you say it? How did you guys say it in the keynote?

00:33:47 ◼   ► It was the second most popular mapping app on iOS.

00:33:51 ◼   ► Google.

00:33:53 ◼   ► But there's this argument going on and then the flip side of it

00:33:56 ◼   ► is this privacy issue with data collection

00:33:58 ◼   ► and all sorts of things are coming out at once

00:34:00 ◼   ► and Google is doing features like this, you guys are doing features like this

00:34:04 ◼   ► And just, I think by coincidence,

00:34:06 ◼   ► but the Annenberg School of Communication

00:34:08 ◼   ► had this widely cited paper that just came out this week.

00:34:11 ◼   ► I'm sure you saw it.

00:34:12 ◼   ► The gist of it being that typical consumers

00:34:17 ◼   ► do care about the privacy

00:34:19 ◼   ► and the implications of the information

00:34:21 ◼   ► that online companies like Facebook and Google

00:34:23 ◼   ► are collecting.

00:34:24 ◼   ► They're not comfortable with a lot of it,

00:34:27 ◼   ► but they kind of feel helpless about it.

00:34:29 ◼   ► And they're like, "Oh, I guess I gotta,

00:34:30 ◼   ► I guess Google knows where I am all the time."

00:34:33 ◼   ► But you guys seem to have a different vision on this.

00:34:35 ◼   ► And the flip side of the art, the last part of it,

00:34:37 ◼   ► I know this is a very long question.

00:34:39 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:34:40 ◼   ► Are you with me so far?

00:34:41 ◼   ► - Yeah, I'm waiting for the question.

00:34:42 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:34:46 ◼   ► - The gist of it though is that a lot of people

00:34:48 ◼   ► are arguing that to implement these features well,

00:34:51 ◼   ► a company has to collect it in an identifiable way

00:34:56 ◼   ► and keep a sort of dossier on you,

00:34:59 ◼   ► otherwise the features don't work.

00:35:00 ◼   ► And you guys seem to have a very different stance on that.

00:35:03 ◼   ► And obviously, this is not new.

00:35:05 ◼   ► This is something we've believed for many, many years

00:35:08 ◼   ► and hoped that it would get traction

00:35:10 ◼   ► that more and more people would start to care

00:35:13 ◼   ► and question the choices they have to make.

00:35:16 ◼   ► If ever there's a modern definition of a Faustian bargain,

00:35:19 ◼   ► this is it, right?

00:35:20 ◼   ► Which is that if you wanna get the features,

00:35:23 ◼   ► give us all this information about your life

00:35:25 ◼   ► that you'd really rather not.

00:35:26 ◼   ► And we've believed for a very long time

00:35:29 ◼   ► that that doesn't have to be the case.

00:35:31 ◼   ► And so we've built systems and processes all around the idea

00:35:35 ◼   ► that in order to help users, you can

00:35:39 ◼   ► do things that are surprising and delightful and magical,

00:35:42 ◼   ► but we don't know your data.

00:35:46 ◼   ► If there's something that has to get through our server,

00:35:48 ◼   ► then it's non-identifiable.

00:35:50 ◼   ► And if it can be done in any way on your device

00:35:52 ◼   ► without going to our server, then that's

00:35:54 ◼   ► the better place to do it.

00:35:55 ◼   ► And that we think we can deliver great experiences protecting

00:35:58 ◼   ► users' privacy.

00:36:00 ◼   ► And that has been a belief for many years.

00:36:03 ◼   ► And now it's really becoming a much more well-received

00:36:07 ◼   ► message.

00:36:08 ◼   ► And we're probably talking a little bit louder about it

00:36:10 ◼   ► because we think people do want to hear it.

00:36:12 ◼   ► But we haven't changed our feeling.

00:36:14 ◼   ► This is our feeling for many, many years about it.

00:36:16 ◼   ► But it's sort of coming to a head now because it's like--

00:36:19 ◼   ► I feel like these features really bring out the difference

00:36:22 ◼   ► in the two strategies.

00:36:24 ◼   ► We hope so.

00:36:24 ◼   ► We hope people will see that I can get the capabilities I want

00:36:28 ◼   ► and somebody standing up for my privacy and somebody,

00:36:31 ◼   ► I mean, one of the great things about Apple, I believe,

00:36:34 ◼   ► is that our customers trust us.

00:36:36 ◼   ► They put trust in the fact that we're trying

00:36:39 ◼   ► to make something that's quality.

00:36:40 ◼   ► They put trust in the fact that we're gonna support them.

00:36:42 ◼   ► They put trust in the fact that we're gonna respect

00:36:44 ◼   ► privacy and security and do everything we can.

00:36:47 ◼   ► And I think that these are the features

00:36:50 ◼   ► that best demonstrate that today.

00:36:52 ◼   ► Okay.

00:36:53 ◼   ► (audience applauding)

00:36:56 ◼   ► (audience applauding)

00:36:59 ◼   ► - I might be getting the next one out of order.

00:37:04 ◼   ► It was a long keynote.

00:37:06 ◼   ► My notes are a little mixed up.

00:37:10 ◼   ► - I've been to longer, but.

00:37:12 ◼   ► - I was wondering if maybe that wasn't the longest.

00:37:16 ◼   ► I always thought that maybe you guys had like a loose rule

00:37:19 ◼   ► that you wanted to keep it under two hours.

00:37:21 ◼   ► - We do actually.

00:37:22 ◼   ► We think that in general, keynotes, people seem

00:37:27 ◼   ► comfortable in the 145 to 210 kind of range.

00:37:31 ◼   ► But that's never perfect.

00:37:32 ◼   ► There's other times when things can be shorter or longer.

00:37:37 ◼   ► And in order to get it to the length we did, we

00:37:41 ◼   ► cut a lot of things.

00:37:42 ◼   ► We were very, very aggressive on trimming back on--

00:37:47 ◼   ► yeah, well, I was thinking more about the power feature in

00:37:51 ◼   ► iOS 9 and how we you know we didn't even show the UI for that or a whole bunch of

00:37:56 ◼   ► things that that are there that were actually really nice but we had to we

00:38:00 ◼   ► have to and even then you know some people nobody seemed to get up and leave

00:38:04 ◼   ► so I think we were okay. All right but I think next was Apple watch. Watch OS with

00:38:14 ◼   ► lowercase W. Are you trying to kill me?

00:38:19 ◼   ► I think it works really well. I think it's nice. It's ownable. It's special.

00:38:31 ◼   ► I think you'll see. Give us time. We've been through many fun naming things. This

00:38:40 ◼   ► is an easy one. There have been many fun naming things through the years. Some very

00:38:43 ◼   ► emotional, some very easy and most of the time when all said and done you look

00:38:48 ◼   ► back years later people say yeah you guys were right you know it all made

00:38:52 ◼   ► sense together so so so I think we're doing the right thing. I'm hoping that

00:38:58 ◼   ► it's like well was it the 3GS which was the one where they had a look your

00:39:04 ◼   ► lowercase s the 5s and then you uppercase the s. As I said sometimes in

00:39:12 ◼   ► middle of things we decide we haven't done the right thing and we fix it.

00:39:17 ◼   ► All right hopefully right in your wheelhouse but one thing that really

00:39:25 ◼   ► struck me is in the run-up to the release of the watch and in the TV spots

00:39:31 ◼   ► that ran it ended with the watch is coming and then when it launched I think

00:39:40 ◼   ► probably right around probably timed at April 24th, "The watch is here." And I

00:39:45 ◼   ► thought that was such a great slogan but it also conveys the different position

00:39:50 ◼   ► Apple is in now than even even 2010 with the iPad in terms of you didn't have to

00:39:57 ◼   ► say which watch. Well thank you for liking the marketing I appreciate that.

00:40:04 ◼   ► I don't think of it that way as necessarily different. When you look back with iPhone,

00:40:11 ◼   ► you may remember that we started the very first ad for iPhone was a teaser ad during the Grammys,

00:40:17 ◼   ► where it was just shots of people answering the phone and saying hello from famous movies.

00:40:21 ◼   ► And yeah, that was a great ad. And we didn't have to say anything about it. Everybody knew

00:40:26 ◼   ► that's because iPhone's coming, right? And so it was okay to do something and we had that freedom

00:40:31 ◼   ► to express it that way. So in this case the whole world was anticipating the

00:40:36 ◼   ► watch, they knew about the watch, we had you know introduced it last September

00:40:40 ◼   ► and so as we're getting closer there had been a billion stories written about it

00:40:44 ◼   ► so we didn't have to say much more than the watch is coming and show a lot

00:40:49 ◼   ► of the designs and show a lot of the interface because one of the great

00:40:53 ◼   ► things about the watch is the variety of choice you have with it and so the

00:40:57 ◼   ► ad got to show that and it created some energy and some uplifting you know

00:41:01 ◼   ► beats to it to get that sense that hey we're building up to a moment of

00:41:05 ◼   ► excitement here the watch is coming and so I think it worked pretty well at that.

00:41:09 ◼   ► All right thank you. A developer question so watch kit was announced last year at

00:41:18 ◼   ► the end of the year which I think it surprised me because it was out before

00:41:23 ◼   ► way before the watch months before so that developers could get ready for it

00:41:26 ◼   ► And now here we are six weeks after the watch actually shipped and you guys, I know it's not out, it's coming in the fall when it's going to ship,

00:41:34 ◼   ► but you've already, you know, developers probably spend all day in those sessions at WWDC learning about native apps on the watch.

00:41:43 ◼   ► Do you think, was doing WatchKit first worth it rather than just waiting to go right to native apps?

00:41:52 ◼   ► Well, time will tell, and that'll be the judge of it, but I think so.

00:41:58 ◼   ► We've been through this once before with iPhone, and that model we had a year without any native

00:42:04 ◼   ► apps, just web apps, and then came out with the SDK and all the APIs necessary to do a

00:42:09 ◼   ► good job with apps, and that model worked great.

00:42:13 ◼   ► People were frustrated during that time, but it worked great.

00:42:16 ◼   ► In this case, we knew we, again, need to finish the software, get the first version out before

00:42:21 ◼   ► we could solidify the SDK and APIs to do native apps.

00:42:25 ◼   ► And so what do you do in the time before that?

00:42:27 ◼   ► Do you give developers an opportunity

00:42:29 ◼   ► to do something on it?

00:42:30 ◼   ► Do you create a watch kit?

00:42:32 ◼   ► And will that watch kit have enough value

00:42:34 ◼   ► for certain kinds of apps that it will make sense anyway

00:42:36 ◼   ► in the fullness of time, even with the full native APIs?

00:42:40 ◼   ► And obviously, our belief was, yeah, it

00:42:42 ◼   ► would help to have developers do it

00:42:44 ◼   ► to use watch kit from the beginning.

00:42:46 ◼   ► And there are many classes of apps

00:42:47 ◼   ► that may be exactly what they want,

00:42:49 ◼   ► And they don't need to do more than that

00:42:51 ◼   ► and use the full native version.

00:42:53 ◼   ► But others will.

00:42:54 ◼   ► And I think that gave the maximum opportunity

00:42:57 ◼   ► for developers.

00:42:58 ◼   ► And so the one other thing we did that I think--

00:43:00 ◼   ► because we talk about this.

00:43:01 ◼   ► The same thing you guys all talk about,

00:43:03 ◼   ► we talk about internally all the time.

00:43:05 ◼   ► And we said, how will people react to that if we bring

00:43:07 ◼   ► out WatchKit and then native?

00:43:09 ◼   ► So if you may recall, back last September

00:43:11 ◼   ► when we talked about it in last year's developer conference,

00:43:14 ◼   ► we said-- and we will bring out a native API and SDK later--

00:43:19 ◼   ► We wanted people to know that that was coming,

00:43:21 ◼   ► so no one could say, "Oh, I wouldn't have done this

00:43:23 ◼   ► "if I had known that."

00:43:24 ◼   ► And so we wanted to make sure there was transparency

00:43:26 ◼   ► and openness about that.

00:43:28 ◼   ► - Good answer.

00:43:31 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:43:34 ◼   ► Music.

00:43:40 ◼   ► I think Apple Music looks amazing.

00:43:43 ◼   ► I think that the size of the catalog is amazing.

00:43:47 ◼   ► I think it, what was the phrase in the moving the needle in the entire music industry? I

00:43:53 ◼   ► really do. I kind of thought the segment in the keynote was a little long.

00:43:58 ◼   ► You say potato, I say potato, but. There's my big question and this is where

00:44:06 ◼   ► I'm rocketing towards being an old man. I just don't know. That's a very serious question.

00:44:13 ◼   ► So the basic proposition is you pay $10 a month.

00:44:17 ◼   ► There's a three month free thing to get started,

00:44:19 ◼   ► you know, see what it's like, see how much you like it.

00:44:21 ◼   ► But the basic idea for the long term is

00:44:24 ◼   ► you pay Apple $10 a month and you can listen to all of it.

00:44:28 ◼   ► Are there a lot of people who wanna pay $10?

00:44:32 ◼   ► Well, I think it's a great deal, I really do.

00:44:34 ◼   ► I mean, I think the family deal is a no brainer.

00:44:36 ◼   ► I really think it's a great bargain.

00:44:38 ◼   ► But I'm an idiot, I've been paying for music my whole life.

00:44:41 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:44:43 ◼   ► I was so happy when the iTunes store came out because I hated the Napster stuff because the songs didn't have the metadata

00:44:49 ◼   ► and it's like you're doing all this cleanup work just to like get the file names right. It's like just let me pay it.

00:44:54 ◼   ► But is that, is there a lot of people, are there a lot of people out there who are going to pay ten dollars a month

00:45:00 ◼   ► for a music service?

00:45:01 ◼   ► Well, obviously we believe so. We think that once you see the service and you start to use it,

00:45:08 ◼   ► you'll realize the benefits of

00:45:11 ◼   ► having really great curated curated lists and you know albums and playlists and things being recommended to you and every time you see something

00:45:19 ◼   ► you say oh, I like that. I want to listen to that. I want that playlist great

00:45:22 ◼   ► I'll use that the next time I go on my trip. Oh cool new album. I want that and

00:45:25 ◼   ► you don't have to think about it anymore

00:45:27 ◼   ► you're just getting it and then you know and some people think that's all people will do or some of us who are

00:45:34 ◼   ► older and a lot older

00:45:36 ◼   ► There's I have favorite artists that I just want to buy it just because I do I'm it's just locked in my brain that way

00:45:42 ◼   ► And so I'll still have you still have the iTunes store you can buy the things you want to buy

00:45:46 ◼   ► You don't have to choose between the two models, but once we're on this for a while

00:45:51 ◼   ► We're all living it we understand the social impact of music. That's completely available to you

00:45:56 ◼   ► I think it's going to change enough

00:45:59 ◼   ► Especially if there's that impetus coming from the curation and the recommendations that will keep you really wanting to

00:46:05 ◼   ► to just add all that to your library constantly.

00:46:08 ◼   ► - What do you think connect is got

00:46:15 ◼   ► that's gonna make it succeed where Ping didn't?

00:46:19 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:46:22 ◼   ► - A better name to start.

00:46:25 ◼   ► It's an opportunity to,

00:46:32 ◼   ► on a bunch of levels that's different.

00:46:35 ◼   ► I think Connect is much more been built from the ground up

00:46:39 ◼   ► from an artist's perspective of what

00:46:41 ◼   ► would they like to share with their fans

00:46:43 ◼   ► and how do they like to communicate.

00:46:45 ◼   ► And so for Connect, the artist will

00:46:47 ◼   ► have a very simple ability to create whatever content they

00:46:50 ◼   ► want-- videos, audio tracks, photos and lyrics,

00:46:55 ◼   ► and on and on-- and the ability to like and say

00:47:00 ◼   ► what you care about and then instantly also share it

00:47:03 ◼   ► directly to other social networks--

00:47:04 ◼   ► you're not locked into one network, and the ability to communicate with users, it's not a one-way pipe.

00:47:10 ◼   ► And so I think that it's a much more interactive environment and the ability to share a lot more, and we'll see.

00:47:16 ◼   ► But we think that based on the artists who have worked with us on it, that it's the kind of environment they want to contribute with fans.

00:47:24 ◼   ► You and I just have a lot of times when we meet off the record or whatever, we blow the whole...

00:47:32 ◼   ► We never meet off the record.

00:47:33 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

00:47:35 ◼   ► - We'll have like-- - You just think we do.

00:47:37 ◼   ► - But it'll be like 20 minutes,

00:47:38 ◼   ► and we'll blow the whole thing talking about like cameras

00:47:41 ◼   ► and James Bond movies.

00:47:42 ◼   ► - Yes, I tried so hard.

00:47:44 ◼   ► I realized it when I got invited to this,

00:47:47 ◼   ► and I didn't have time,

00:47:48 ◼   ► 'cause the one place you could order it

00:47:49 ◼   ► was gonna take two weeks.

00:47:50 ◼   ► I want to get this Specter logo t-shirt to wear,

00:47:53 ◼   ► just for you. (audience laughing)

00:47:55 ◼   ► But I couldn't get a nice octopus logo t-shirt,

00:47:58 ◼   ► but I couldn't get it. - But one of the things

00:47:59 ◼   ► that we both share a passion for is photography and cameras.

00:48:02 ◼   ► and you know, like a hobbyist type thing.

00:48:06 ◼   ► I've been thinking, I think it's so clear

00:48:11 ◼   ► and the Shot with iPhone marketing campaign shows

00:48:15 ◼   ► that you guys clearly believe it too,

00:48:17 ◼   ► but that Apple has become one of, if not the,

00:48:21 ◼   ► leading camera companies in the world, the.

00:48:24 ◼   ► (audience laughing and applauding)

00:48:32 ◼   ► And in the old days, being a camera enthusiast, you really were, it was like about the lenses,

00:48:37 ◼   ► you know, and it still is, you know, if you have with the other cameras we have.

00:48:40 ◼   ► But with today's era of photography, it's really about mobility,

00:48:46 ◼   ► and it's not about lenses and sensors, although that's part of it.

00:48:51 ◼   ► But it's the software that processes the images off the sensor,

00:48:55 ◼   ► which is why there might be other cameras from other companies

00:48:58 ◼   ► that might use the same sensors that you guys have or similar ones and the

00:49:03 ◼   ► pictures don't look the same and after that how do you get them on the phone

00:49:08 ◼   ► and how do you send them to where they're going and how do you edit it and

00:49:12 ◼   ► crop it and fix the rotation and then two years from now how do you get back

00:49:16 ◼   ► to that picture it's this whole circle but it's like the it's called the iPhone

00:49:24 ◼   ► but to me I would rather if I could have if you said hey one of your apps is

00:49:28 ◼   ► going to break for the next week. It's either the phone app or camera app. I want my phone

00:49:32 ◼   ► app to break. Do you see it the same way? Oh yeah. The camera capabilities of iPhone

00:49:39 ◼   ► is for me one of the most personally valuable and important parts of it. It has been for

00:49:45 ◼   ► quite a long time. And as you said, we both share a passion for prosumer photography.

00:49:51 ◼   ► I'm no great Ansel Adams, but I love photography. I love the process. I love the thought that

00:49:57 ◼   ► goes into it. I have cameras of all different sizes and kinds. And photography is really

00:50:03 ◼   ► powerful and especially once you have families engaged you realize how this stuff is meaningful

00:50:08 ◼   ► for the rest of your life. And we've been putting a lot into it. But I will start with

00:50:14 ◼   ► the most important adage in photography. Anybody who hears of serious photographer knows the

00:50:19 ◼   ► old line and it's true. It's not the camera, it's the photographer, right? A great picture

00:50:24 ◼   ► comes from a great photographer, not a great camera.

00:50:28 ◼   ► And so that aside, I got that done, we've been putting a lot of effort for many years

00:50:34 ◼   ► now to building an incredible world-class camera team and working, doing custom work

00:50:40 ◼   ► on sensors, building our own custom lenses, building our own flash technology, and most

00:50:46 ◼   ► importantly the ISP and software that makes that all come together as a complete system.

00:50:52 ◼   ► And the same mentality that goes into why a Mac is better than a PC,

00:50:56 ◼   ► and why an iPhone is better than some other junkie phone,

00:50:59 ◼   ► that goes into the--

00:51:00 ◼   ► [APPLAUSE]

00:51:02 ◼   ► --goes into the camera that it's a complete system designed together

00:51:06 ◼   ► from the beginning to work together.

00:51:09 ◼   ► And that's what results.

00:51:10 ◼   ► You can't just piecemeal put a lens with a sensor with someone else's chip

00:51:15 ◼   ► with someone else's software and get to the level of result

00:51:18 ◼   ► we're able to achieve the way the teams work together

00:51:20 ◼   ► to deliver a complete solution.

00:51:24 ◼   ► All right.

00:51:25 ◼   ► I have to ask this.

00:51:28 ◼   ► You guys have always had this--

00:51:31 ◼   ► well, not always, but in the modern era of Apple,

00:51:35 ◼   ► there's been this idea of, hey, here's three--

00:51:37 ◼   ► good, better, best.

00:51:40 ◼   ► Whether it's a Mac or a lot of different products, three--

00:51:43 ◼   ► good, better, best.

00:51:46 ◼   ► I think that with the current generation iOS

00:51:49 ◼   ► devices going 16, 64, 128. I think that 16 it's really hard to make an argument

00:51:59 ◼   ► that's good it's more like okay.

00:52:06 ◼   ► So, I'm guessing you're all 128 gigabyte users in here. Me too. So, the 16, you know,

00:52:22 ◼   ► we used to be lower and so it has increased. The iPhone didn't used to shoot

00:52:29 ◼   ► video too. So one of the hopes and maybe we'll see how we realize it all, but the belief

00:52:40 ◼   ► is more and more as we use iCloud services for documents or Azure if your product uses

00:52:47 ◼   ► Azure or for our photos and for our videos, the more we're able to use these things and

00:52:53 ◼   ► your music is in the cloud, that perhaps for the most

00:52:58 ◼   ► price-conscious customer, the person starting out at the

00:53:01 ◼   ► beginning of the line, are able to live in an environment

00:53:05 ◼   ► where they don't need gobs of local storage because these

00:53:08 ◼   ► services are taking off more and more of the load and

00:53:10 ◼   ► making their life easier.

00:53:12 ◼   ► And they can start with an entry point that's lighter

00:53:14 ◼   ► than maybe you want, but gets their entire job done.

00:53:18 ◼   ► And we work very carefully to canvas and survey exactly how

00:53:23 ◼   ► much storage people use at different price points

00:53:25 ◼   ► and how much they need.

00:53:26 ◼   ► And if we can give them a great solution storage there,

00:53:30 ◼   ► we can put that cost into other things

00:53:32 ◼   ► to make sure they have a great camera,

00:53:34 ◼   ► they have a great screen.

00:53:35 ◼   ► And so it's all choices for the customer.

00:53:38 ◼   ► And that's the hope.

00:53:40 ◼   ► As more of this stuff is in the cloud,

00:53:42 ◼   ► maybe we can have an easier entry point for some customers.

00:53:46 ◼   ► You did say you wouldn't answer some questions.

00:53:48 ◼   ► [LAUGHTER]

00:53:52 ◼   ► I can.

00:53:52 ◼   ► Wow, I can get much more non-answer than that.

00:53:56 ◼   ► What do you say to the criticism that Apple has gotten too obsessed with device thinness?

00:54:05 ◼   ► With year over year iterations that are getting thinner and thinner at a point where maybe if you had stopped

00:54:11 ◼   ► and kept the device thinness the same and just filled that extra space with battery,

00:54:16 ◼   ► whether it's a phone or whether it's a MacBook, where are you guys going to stop?

00:54:20 ◼   ► going to stop? I mean is it going to be like a piece of paper? First of all I

00:54:26 ◼   ► think that feedback is always great to hear and you know people tell us what

00:54:30 ◼   ► they think and we always want to hear what things you want in a

00:54:36 ◼   ► product because they all come with trade-offs and benefits and

00:54:39 ◼   ► associated things. If you want a product that's thicker with a bigger battery

00:54:43 ◼   ► well it's also heavier, it's also more costly, it also takes longer to

00:54:47 ◼   ► charge.

00:54:50 ◼   ► All these things have ramifications

00:54:52 ◼   ► designing a total system.

00:54:54 ◼   ► And we look at this very, very, very carefully.

00:54:57 ◼   ► The engineering team and the industrial design team

00:54:59 ◼   ► work together and model every thickness and every size

00:55:03 ◼   ► and every weight.

00:55:04 ◼   ► And we hold these things and we work with them

00:55:06 ◼   ► to try to figure out what the feature benefit trade-offs are.

00:55:10 ◼   ► And I don't think we've hit the point yet where we're trading

00:55:14 ◼   ► off thinness for features and capabilities at the expense of the best

00:55:19 ◼   ► optimized product. I really don't. I love my new 12-inch MacBook. I think it's an

00:55:24 ◼   ► incredible product. I use it constantly and I love how thin and light that

00:55:28 ◼   ► feels and I love the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and I think we've made great

00:55:34 ◼   ► choices there. And yes, this is something we talk about constantly, but

00:55:39 ◼   ► I think we've made the right choices so far.

00:55:41 ◼   ► All right, two-part question. What color is your new MacBook?

00:55:45 ◼   ► and

00:55:48 ◼   ► How many USB ports does it have?

00:55:50 ◼   ► So mine is the space gray

00:55:57 ◼   ► Thank you

00:56:01 ◼   ► But I'm glad there's individual choice diversity is important the

00:56:08 ◼   ► And mine has one USB-C port, as you well know, with that leading question.

00:56:17 ◼   ► But again, be careful what you ask for, right?

00:56:21 ◼   ► Because what the design team first envisioned when we started working on MacBook was to

00:56:28 ◼   ► say, if all we do is incremental slight change, where's the excitement, where's the value

00:56:35 ◼   ► of Apple pushing things forward?

00:56:37 ◼   ► We need to take bold risks.

00:56:39 ◼   ► If people don't like it, well, they can keep buying the MacBook Air, they can keep buying

00:56:44 ◼   ► the MacBook Pro, but why don't we design a product that's around this wireless world

00:56:50 ◼   ► that has really no physical connection that you need.

00:56:53 ◼   ► You can get by without ever needing that.

00:56:55 ◼   ► Wouldn't that be a better world?

00:56:57 ◼   ► In doing that, we realized, yeah, but we do need to charge it, so let's go create this

00:57:02 ◼   ► one port that can charge and be USB and be your video out.

00:57:05 ◼   ► And that way, if you need to connect, you can.

00:57:08 ◼   ► You're not giving that up.

00:57:10 ◼   ► But this is really design.

00:57:11 ◼   ► And if you do that, how far can you push it?

00:57:14 ◼   ► How thin can it get?

00:57:16 ◼   ► How light can it get?

00:57:18 ◼   ► How aggressive a design can it be?

00:57:20 ◼   ► And I think if--

00:57:23 ◼   ► I'm in my job for one reason, because I'm a

00:57:25 ◼   ► customer like all of you.

00:57:27 ◼   ► I love these products.

00:57:28 ◼   ► I love this company.

00:57:29 ◼   ► I want this company to be the best Apple can ever be.

00:57:32 ◼   ► And one of the ways it can be the best Apple can ever be

00:57:36 ◼   ► is to take bold risks and try to think of new things

00:57:39 ◼   ► that others aren't willing to do.

00:57:40 ◼   ► I remember-- I mean, this is all the same mentality as I

00:57:43 ◼   ► remember when we took out the floppy.

00:57:45 ◼   ► Oh, and I'm sure many of you all do too.

00:57:47 ◼   ► It's the exact same thinking.

00:57:49 ◼   ► I sat in the room with friends of mine who worked at other

00:57:52 ◼   ► companies in Texas and other places, and they literally

00:57:57 ◼   ► said, oh my god, I'm so jealous.

00:57:59 ◼   ► We can't do that.

00:58:00 ◼   ► We can't do that.

00:58:02 ◼   ► We can't take the risk because if the world is going to be risk adverse and

00:58:06 ◼   ► doesn't want us to take away anything, then if Dell doesn't have a floppy,

00:58:11 ◼   ► but Toshiba does, they'll just buy the Toshiba.

00:58:13 ◼   ► They're all the same, except if you're missing one thing,

00:58:16 ◼   ► no one will buy your stuff.

00:58:17 ◼   ► You said you're so lucky.

00:58:18 ◼   ► You make something where your customers give you the opportunity to try something

00:58:22 ◼   ► in a completely different way, and they listen to you when they try it.

00:58:26 ◼   ► And if you have to adjust and make an external drive for a couple years, great,

00:58:30 ◼   ► You'll do it, but you get to make that change and move on.

00:58:34 ◼   ► That's the embodiment of this new MacBook, which

00:58:36 ◼   ► is take a bold risk.

00:58:38 ◼   ► Maybe some people will think it's not perfect to them yet,

00:58:40 ◼   ► but for a surprising number of people,

00:58:43 ◼   ► it's already their future laptop.

00:58:46 ◼   ► The customer satisfaction is off the charts on it.

00:58:49 ◼   ► Customer demand is great.

00:58:51 ◼   ► Does anyone here have a new MacBook and love it?

00:58:53 ◼   ► [APPLAUSE]

00:58:56 ◼   ► So that's the Apple I want.

00:58:58 ◼   ► I want an apple that's bold and taking risks and trying new things and being aggressive.

00:59:05 ◼   ► So, you've been an apple for a couple of years.

00:59:21 ◼   ► Half my life.

00:59:23 ◼   ► Wow.

00:59:24 ◼   ► A lot of that time, an adjective that was often used to describe Apple was "beleaguered."

00:59:34 ◼   ► And there were some hard times, and there were years when you guys were truly the underdog.

00:59:40 ◼   ► And now, there's no way that anybody could argue that the most profitable company in the world is the underdog.

00:59:49 ◼   ► but yet people still seem to manage to say that you're one step away from collapse.

00:59:56 ◼   ► Like, does that surprise you that it hasn't stopped?

00:59:59 ◼   ► Like, I don't think it was surprising in, say, 1997

01:00:03 ◼   ► that there were a lot of articles predicting doom for the company.

01:00:06 ◼   ► Do you find it surprising that there are articles in 2015?

01:00:09 ◼   ► Honestly, no.

01:00:12 ◼   ► I don't know if, personally, I don't know if I'd know how to act

01:00:17 ◼   ► if people didn't write that and didn't say that.

01:00:20 ◼   ► Because I've been through all that.

01:00:22 ◼   ► You all have read the stories.

01:00:24 ◼   ► There was a moment there where Apple was truly six months

01:00:27 ◼   ► from gone and out of business.

01:00:29 ◼   ► And we've been through this cycle.

01:00:31 ◼   ► And as someone really smart once said,

01:00:36 ◼   ► there's nothing to make you take bold moves than a near-death

01:00:41 ◼   ► experience.

01:00:42 ◼   ► And we had that.

01:00:43 ◼   ► And having people tell you that you're all not that smart,

01:00:47 ◼   ► your products aren't that great, you're not going to survive,

01:00:51 ◼   ► is actually emboldens you to do good work

01:00:54 ◼   ► and try to make each thing better

01:00:56 ◼   ► and be aggressive and hungry.

01:00:58 ◼   ► And I think that's also the way Apple should be.

01:01:01 ◼   ► And we don't need to be told how great we are

01:01:03 ◼   ► and how big we are.

01:01:04 ◼   ► It's not about that.

01:01:05 ◼   ► And we don't want it to become about that.

01:01:07 ◼   ► It's not about PDEs and it's not about market value.

01:01:11 ◼   ► I mean, sure the finance team has to worry about that.

01:01:13 ◼   ► of the rest of us, it's about are we making the best product? Do people love what we do?

01:01:17 ◼   ► Or is it changing lives? And if it isn't, then beat us up till it is. And that's a good

01:01:23 ◼   ► place. And I don't remember any great product we've made where people haven't panned it

01:01:26 ◼   ► in the press in the beginning. I mean, they panned the iPhone. They panned the iPod. They

01:01:30 ◼   ► panned the iPad. And great, say it, you know, because that's--I don't know what a successful

01:01:36 ◼   ► product is if it doesn't start out with people saying, "I don't get it and I don't like it."

01:01:39 ◼   ► [APPLAUSE]

01:01:47 ◼   ► This has been great.

01:01:48 ◼   ► I really appreciate you being here and the time we've spent.

01:01:51 ◼   ► But--

01:01:51 ◼   ► [APPLAUSE]

01:01:53 ◼   ► Did you say "but"?

01:01:55 ◼   ► No, no, not "but."

01:01:57 ◼   ► But I was going to--

01:01:58 ◼   ► I did say "but."

01:01:59 ◼   ► But before we finish up, do you remember the first time

01:02:05 ◼   ► you got in contact with me?

01:02:08 ◼   ► It was a long time ago now.

01:02:10 ◼   ► It was October 2004.

01:02:13 ◼   ► Earlier in the month, the Yankees had,

01:02:18 ◼   ► maybe it was September, I don't know,

01:02:19 ◼   ► might have been September, I forget when the ALCS,

01:02:21 ◼   ► probably October, probably October, probably early October.

01:02:24 ◼   ► My favorite team, the New York Yankees,

01:02:26 ◼   ► had taken a three games to nothing lead

01:02:28 ◼   ► against the Boston Red Sox.

01:02:30 ◼   ► And I still have this tradition,

01:02:35 ◼   ► it's just been a number of years

01:02:36 ◼   ► since I've been able to do it,

01:02:38 ◼   ► which is when the Yankees are in the post season,

01:02:42 ◼   ► I use their logo instead of my star in a circle.

01:02:47 ◼   ► And I used to in the early years, 2002, 2003,

01:02:51 ◼   ► when I was really greedy,

01:02:52 ◼   ► 'cause the Yankees used to win the World Series

01:02:54 ◼   ► every single year,

01:02:55 ◼   ► I didn't even count the division series.

01:02:58 ◼   ► I didn't change the logo

01:03:00 ◼   ► until they got to the AL championship series.

01:03:03 ◼   ► Those are the days.

01:03:07 ◼   ► Well, one thing led to another, and I don't know what happened,

01:03:09 ◼   ► but somehow the Red Sox ended up winning that ALCS.

01:03:12 ◼   ► [cheers and applause]

01:03:14 ◼   ► And it was--

01:03:15 ◼   ► - Greatest choke in baseball history.

01:03:20 ◼   ► - So I wake up the next day, and I was despondent,

01:03:22 ◼   ► 'cause it was like, "Jesus, of all the teams today--"

01:03:24 ◼   ► I mean, number one, losing three games is nothing.

01:03:26 ◼   ► That hurts, but to the Red Sox.

01:03:28 ◼   ► And I start to work, and I--

01:03:30 ◼   ► Well, you know, whenever I'm in a bad mood,

01:03:32 ◼   ► it's like, my work can distract me.

01:03:33 ◼   ► And I go, and I check my email,

01:03:35 ◼   ► And this is back in the day when you didn't get the preview.

01:03:39 ◼   ► I forget what the subject was, but it said "From Philip Schiller."

01:03:46 ◼   ► And I thought, "Somebody's pranking me."

01:03:50 ◼   ► And I clicked on it, and it's from philschiller@apple.com, and it said, "Hey, John."

01:04:00 ◼   ► It's so great, because I changed the logo back because they lost the game, and it said,

01:04:04 ◼   ► It's so great to see the regular logo back on Darren's Fireball.

01:04:12 ◼   ► [cheers and applause]

01:04:16 ◼   ► The Yankees put up a good fight.

01:04:18 ◼   ► Regards, Phil.

01:04:20 ◼   ► Now, do you remember? Is it coming back to you?

01:04:22 ◼   ► - Oh, yes, I remember that week really well.

01:04:25 ◼   ► - So it--

01:04:28 ◼   ► My reaction that morning was so bifurcated.

01:04:32 ◼   ► It was, "Holy shit, I got an email from Phil Schiller and he reads 'Daring Fireball'!"

01:04:40 ◼   ► And it was like half an icy dagger in my heart, like the last

01:04:44 ◼   ► remaining warm blood in my body was just drained.

01:04:49 ◼   ► That's what I was shooting for.

01:04:55 ◼   ► But...

01:04:58 ◼   ► But to show I'm...

01:05:00 ◼   ► Obviously, I grew up in Boston, so I'm a big Boston sports fan.

01:05:04 ◼   ► Go Cats!

01:05:06 ◼   ► I don't care how much air is in the ball.

01:05:08 ◼   ► I don't.

01:05:08 ◼   ► [LAUGHTER]

01:05:11 ◼   ► I'm a Brady fan, and take it for what it's worth.

01:05:15 ◼   ► But that series-- so the third game,

01:05:17 ◼   ► I happened to be on an Apple business trip in New York

01:05:20 ◼   ► during the third game.

01:05:21 ◼   ► And I said, I've got to watch the game.

01:05:23 ◼   ► And I said to someone in the hotel,

01:05:24 ◼   ► I'm going to go, where's a good place

01:05:25 ◼   ► to watch the baseball game?

01:05:26 ◼   ► They said, well, the Mickey Mantle bar.

01:05:29 ◼   ► I said, "It's a Yankees game at the Mickey Mantle Bar.

01:05:32 ◼   ► "All right, I'll go."

01:05:33 ◼   ► And I went and I whipped over my Red Sox cap.

01:05:36 ◼   ► I was the only Red Sox fan in the entire Mickey Mantle Bar

01:05:38 ◼   ► and that was the game we got beat like 17-six or something.

01:05:41 ◼   ► And I took a drubbing and everyone giving me a hard time

01:05:44 ◼   ► and it was worth it because look,

01:05:46 ◼   ► we stunk and we deserved it.

01:05:48 ◼   ► And so I felt I'd really taken the pain

01:05:52 ◼   ► and there was this cathartic thing that I could nicely,

01:05:55 ◼   ► and I think I wrote that email probably 12 times

01:05:57 ◼   ► in different ways.

01:05:59 ◼   ► Digging you, teasing you, being tongue in cheek,

01:06:01 ◼   ► and finally just said, just the simple, clean way.

01:06:04 ◼   ► That's the way to go.

01:06:05 ◼   ► [APPLAUSE]

01:06:08 ◼   ► So I told this story before the show

01:06:14 ◼   ► to one of your colleagues, Bill Evans at Apple.

01:06:18 ◼   ► He goes, oh yeah, classic Phil.

01:06:19 ◼   ► [LAUGHTER]

01:06:22 ◼   ► He goes, that's Phil all the time.

01:06:24 ◼   ► So anyway, thank you Phil.

01:06:26 ◼   ► A couple more thank yous.

01:06:29 ◼   ► I want to thank everybody here at Mezzanine.

01:06:34 ◼   ► This place is great.

01:06:35 ◼   ► I have had nothing but good things to say about here.

01:06:38 ◼   ► The entire staff, everybody from sound, security,

01:06:42 ◼   ► the bartenders, everybody let's give it up for them.

01:06:45 ◼   ► (audience cheering)

01:06:48 ◼   ► I want to thank my friend Caleb Sexton.

01:06:51 ◼   ► He's handling audio tonight.

01:06:53 ◼   ► and turning this into the audio podcast,

01:06:56 ◼   ► making sure we sound good.

01:06:58 ◼   ► I wanna thank my sponsors, MailChimp,

01:07:02 ◼   ► (audience cheering)

01:07:04 ◼   ► our friends at Fracture, who sponsored the video.

01:07:09 ◼   ► I'm glad nobody yelled anything.

01:07:11 ◼   ► Did the video stay up?

01:07:12 ◼   ► - No.

01:07:13 ◼   ► (audience laughing)

01:07:14 ◼   ► - It's hard to do right.

01:07:15 ◼   ► - I--

01:07:16 ◼   ► (audience laughing and cheering)

01:07:20 ◼   ► (audience cheering)

01:07:44 ◼   ► just to help with the video feed and everything like that.

01:07:49 ◼   ► That should be coming out later this year, early next year.

01:07:52 ◼   ► Great movie that they're helping out with the video.

01:07:54 ◼   ► And then lastly, I want to thank all of you.
