Steve Jobs Greatest Keynote Addresses (Top 10)

[@nickbradley]

What's your favorite Steve Jobs keynote address?

[@britishduck]

As I’m on my iPad…

[@nickbradley]

@@britishduckI watch most of these keynotes on my iPad too, and it always amazes me how far computing has advanced in such a short period of time.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

iMac unveiling for sure

[@edgar8609]

„An iPod, An Phone, An Internet communicator, An iPod, An Phone are you getting it??“ Best sentence Steve ever said

[@nickbradley]

100%. Just perfect.

[@yaskoda]

Steve Jobs was cold but genius, no one was and will be like him.

[@nickbradley]

Very true. His story is so unique, we likely won’t ever see the likes of him again.

[@jonfreeman9682]

He revolutionized computers, animation, music, smartphones, tablets and his lasting legacy is design matters.

[@mattalki]

I rewatch his keynotes often too. I really miss those days. There's just something missing from Apple keynotes today. It was like he was showing off new toys to his friends. The people today who are just getting into Apple products don't understand what it was like to live through his keynotes. It was an exciting time.

[@nickbradley]

So true! I’m old enough to remember when the events weren’t live-streamed, and you had to rely on bloggers to provide live updates. They sure were special, and have lost some of their magic without Steve. I hope we see the return of on stage presentations in the new “Steve Jobs Theater.”

[@hillstones]

The keynotes now are cringeworthy to watch. Now they are just a bunch of insignificant people at Apple reading spec sheets. They don't have the magic that Steve Jobs had in 'selling' the new product on stage. Even Phil Schiller did well with the keynotes, almost having the same magic as Steve Jobs, in how he introduced new products. So I love to rewatch the old keynotes to relive the magic that Steve Jobs had when he introduced new products.

[@damienlobb85]

I use to be big into Steve Jobs-era Apple.

[@rokker333]

Because Apple lost its greatest innovation driver: Steve Jobs.

[@lopwidth7343]

@@nickbradley You could download the keynote video file from their website or stream it with QuickTime plugin a couple hours later usually. I downloaded many of them since QuickTime plugin was as big as a joke as RealTime player, lol

[@TheLegend-yl6eu]

I simply missed the old days where they do it live, the interaction between Apple and the crowd was purely amazing.

[@nickbradley]

I agree! It's sad to see press invites still being sent out, just to have everyone watch the pre-recorded presentation on a screen. (In the Steve Jobs Theater no less!)

[@j.p.obregon1415]

Tim Cook wasn't the showman like Steve Jobs. The pre-recorded events were inevitable.

[@androidguy-99103]

I also liked the first MacBook Pro introduction 'cause the audience cheered when Steve showcased the iSight camera 😂

[@nickbradley]

@@androidguy-99103 great moment 😂

[@Anamnesis]

I watched the original iPhone introduction live over the internet back in January 2007, back when live streaming video itself was still quite an innovation, and I knew I was lowkey watching tech history happen in that moment. It sounds a bit hackneyed because it was only fifteen years ago, but I imagine it's sort of how people must have felt watching the moon landing on live television. It was the first big step into the mobile smart phone and streaming revolution that people just take for granted now, as though it's always been that way. Steve knew how far ahead of the curve Apple was, and even though that first phone was ancient by today's standards, it was like science fiction compared to everything else.

[@hillstones]

The WWDC 2005 keynote announcing the transition from PowerPC to Intel is another great moment in Steve Jobs keynotes, as well as the January 2006 MacWorld keynote when they announce they were 6 months ahead of schedule and released the Intel iMac, and the 'one more thing' Intel MacBook Pro.

[@nickbradley]

I totally agree. So many great moments to pick from.

[@jorgemorales2386]

Thank you , thank you for the this resume!! And yes! Spot on on the list and rankings!!! Steve is missed…

[@otto-m.lampert5205]

Steve Jobs was the master of doing presentations of technical issues. No did it better than him. And still today he is inspiring and challanging my self, when I do a presentation. I will never reach him, but I#ll try get better every time. Steve Jobs is missed so much.

[@_heyjoow]

The iPhone 4 keynote was my first. It was the first time I could watch something like this, and I could understand (since I just got to understand English). And it holds a special place in my heart.

[@nickbradley]

One of his best, and likely his last keynote at full strength.

[@dmore]

There's still nothing like the gasps of amazement and astonishment that greets Steve first scrolling through his contacts on the original iPhone keynote. It is the complete embodiment of the quote “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. Apple had created something that was magic and it went on to fundamentally change the world in which we live, something that Steve Jobs has done time and time again.

[@Christian-ql4vw]

Appreciate your dedication to Steve, his presentations, charisma, and strategic thinking… they’re almost just as fascinating as the products themselves.

[@nickbradley]

You're exactly right. I miss him greatly, and often wonder how today's keynotes would look if he was still at the helm. I don't find myself revisiting many of the events from the Tim Cook era, but I could rewatch pretty much any Steve Jobs presentation.

[@Christian-ql4vw]

yup, one way I would describe him, is he was the ultimate salesperson, and I mean that in a positive way. He really cared about what he was doing, was captivating, and had some surprises along the way. At times you forgot you were even being sold, you felt like you were in on something, or part of something larger. It was almost theater, with a very broad reach to a wide audience. Well done on your end.

[@pvhari40]

Was searching all these times for just this !! Great compilation and great narration. Hats off you Nick!

[@nickbradley]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. 😁

[@cardinalRG]

He was a marketing genius, a master salesman. As an Apple stockholder, I'm thankful for that.

[@vanzzini]

Finally, someone made this video. I don't know why apple won't release steve´s keynotes in high quality. This is an historic top 10 indeed. All of them specially number 1, changed the world as we knew it in their moment.

[@nickbradley]

I too wish Apple would release all the keynotes in high quality. Hopefully one day!

[@vishwanathsharma73]

Definitely, iPhone introduction is the best, I and we all love Steve jobs 🛐💖

[@nickbradley]

My list changed many times while writing this video - but #1 never moved.

[@brigittebonkowski6165]

Always come back to Steve Jobs for intelligent progressive content. There is no end to his genius and is ability to communicate with the world. "Annoyed" - He has every right to ask them to help him out - they're listening to a genius. - something they are not. It's like instructing a class and telling students to turn off their phones. Respect people - respect.

[@nickbradley]

I agree, he is a master of his craft.

[@matthewbryant958]

Imagine how Steve must of felt when the people watching got exited when Steve took it out the envelope 😂 that got them early 😂 let’s not forget some of the audience will be the country’s top people from the biggest tech companies! Nobody could of failed with the I phone tho, pure genius with multi touch etc

[@j800r_aswell]

Miss you Steve. Absolute legend who launched the glory dies of Apple which led to them being one of the most profitable tech companies in the world. I think he'd be mostly proud of what Tim has done in his absence. Minus the fallout with Scott Forstall maybe. Although even then, he wouldn't have stood for the maps debacle so probably would have booted him too. I do miss a lot of the 3D elements of MacOS but I know I'm in the extreme minority. Particularly the 3D dock from the Leopard era. I loved that thing. Then again, I also miss the intro videos.

[@nickbradley]

Apple under went such drastic changes in such a short period of time after Steve passed. It's hard to imagine just how many of those things still would have occurred (or Steve even had a hand in) had he still been at the helm.

[@yamil.343]

He was singularly unique. I miss his presence & Apple when he existed.

[@nickbradley]

Well said!

[@geetadhumane5793]

iphone launch is iconic af.... Its really the best.. But I love the 84 Macintosh launch a lot!!!

[@Fyrock]

ONLY 88 SUBSCRIBERS?? great video dude, keep going

[@nickbradley]

Thank you so much! I’m just getting started, so that means a lot.

[@dotspacedot3775]

Steve Jobs' keynotes to me are like the end all public speaking and presentation survival guide. Keep it simple, highlight the important stuff, and just have fun with it. But stay on track and be cool under pressure. It also didnt hurt that Steve was presenting some of the most important and revolutionary consumer technologies of all time too...

[@hillstones]

He also had a way of 'selling' the new product on stage. Now they just read a spec sheet.

[@dotspacedot3775]

@@hillstones I remember watching the macbook air reveal where he took it out of the envelope and thinking "Man I really want this!" while watching on my 2020 m1 air. The state of showmanship in tech is just down :(

[@Coufu]

Good list and honorable mentions. I never watched any of these as they were happening. It’s so sad there’s no one quite like this today that can excite us about new products.

[@nickbradley]

I agree. I’m not sure there’s anyone that will ever be able to match Steve’s stage presence. There’s aspects I enjoy about Apple’s pre-recorded events, but it’s sad to see their newly built “Steve Jobs Theater” not being used for its original intent.

[@anthonyhopkin]

Great subject - Great choices. Thanks for the memories

[@damienlobb85]

It's a shame Apple aren't nearly as charming these days. I wonder how he'd react to the Trashcan Mac Pro, Magic Mouse charging port and mixed Lightning/USB-C connectors across products. Along with many other odd things he denounced prior.

[@AppleTech-]

Yes Dear for Sure, keep it up you are great!

[@nickbradley]

Thank you so much!

[@senwang1982]

If Steve were still alive, there wouldn't be Mother Nature this year.

[@nickbradley]

Who knows, probably not. But he definitely opened up a few keynotes with gags, and was one of the first to make environmentally friendly practices a selling point.

[@YouTooDoTube]

Mother nature… Not funny. Gave me bad feelings.

[@Adlata]

yes now apple events are esg virtue Hollywood crap, they talk about being green when they make their products in china using dirty energy and slave labour. Steve's era was the golden era for the company

" One More Thing"

[@PratikGuhaRay]

I still love the aqua user interface

[@AdamasOldblade]

It's weird... I love both the new and old style of Apple's presentations, but I truly think that COVID forcing Apple to cancel in-person stuff was the catalyst for them doing every presentation from here on out as one giant edited keynote. Weirdly it does fit most of the time. It's nice to see multiple people, multiple sides of Apple Park and such, but I do long for that "charm" of just people on a stage with live reactions.

[@leeartlee915]

The day Jobs died, a small piece of our modern world went with him. I remember during Jobs years at Apple, I would legit get excited for new technology announcements. Now? I haven’t felt that way in years. He wasn’t a perfect man, that’s for sure, but goddamn was he good at what he did.

[@Subjective_JoshNelson]

I like the humanity / authenticity of Steve chiding he audience to turn off their wifi use, so he could do his demo! Best moment, outside of Standford!

[@nickbradley]

The best part about that moment is when he goes on to say, "You know, this is a testament to how far we've come isn't it? It's incredible. 570 wi-fi base stations in this room. Wow!"

[@brianhlabane8563]

[@IamKenRoss]

What about the iMac G4 announcement? That reveal was electric

[@nickbradley]

I agree, and included it in my honorable mentions. It's one of my favorites to watch. However, it fell out of my personal Top 10 due to the product only lasting 2 years, and it's impact on Apple was less than the others.

[@MichealScott24]

[@davehandelman2832]

Iphone ftw! Absolutely.

[@j.p.obregon1415]

Going into this, was there any doubt that the iPhone intro was going to be #1? I mean, seriously... No one should have been surprised by that.

[@nickbradley]

I made several changes to my list, and almost thought about making the Stanford commencement #1 just to be different - but I had to be honest with myself.

[@Stetch42]

"An iPod. A phone ...."

[@nickbradley]

One of my favorite parts about that moment, is how weak the applause is for “and a breakthrough Internet communicator.” That is arguably the most revolutionary part of the iPhone, and now the majority of internet communication happens on mobile devices.

[@nwmusic2010]

My favorite one has to be the MacBook Air

[@nickbradley]

Honestly, from a purely “Steve Jobs gives a keynote address” perspective - I agree, I would probably have it at 2 or 3. But when factoring in the significance/impact of the other announcements, I think thats why it ended up where it did on my list.

[@greebo5294]

Without Steve,  is just another tech company.

[@billg7813]

Jobs was a visionary but it seems most of his visions came by climbing on the backs of other people

[@warrenmcclure7819]

Back when using the OS was fun, its just so flat and boring now. We need to go back.

[@luigirivas3880]

3.5 inches is in fact gigantic and tbh 4 inches is just too damn much if you think about it, and anything over 6 inches is just degenerate and shouldn’t be the considered the norm by todays standards. Think about how well the 3.5 inch fit in your hand and was easy to use and never hurt no one.

[@DanTuber]

I miss him and the keynotes. They were exciting, fun, had an aura of anticipation and his personality was infectious. Today it's boring, soulless, uninspiring, full of incremental forgetful changes. I blame a lot of it on tim cook. A boring numbers guy. The company lost a visionary when steve passed.

[@nyantaplay4769]

What if Apple, Google and Samsung skipped 1 year - didnt realease anything and actually worked on improvements for 2 years for consumers like me and you it might have wow moment. But i know that in reality it might wont work as all these businesses have to provide some type reports to their investors(

[@Growler57]

I think steve would be very upset about about the new iphones

[@nickbradley]

I do wonder how the iPhone would have evolved if he was still at the helm. I do think the market made it pretty clear they wanted bigger phones. But, would he have budged, and if he did, would it have been in the same direction?

[@lopwidth7343]

Apple doing better than ever, but it's just as big a mess like when Steve Jobs was bought back to save them in 1997. Their operating systems and hardware is a mess with too many products and functions of doing the same things

He's dead. He's not that smart at all as he refused operation for his curable cancer

You are a fool. Pancreatic cancer has a 5% survival rate. You already have a death sentence once it is detected. He did have a kidney transplant that extended his life a few more years, but eventually pancreatic cancer does kill you.

[@movieblues4614]

He was scared. More than a few cancer victims suffer from magical thinking that they hope will make it all go away. Intelligence has nothing to do with it.

[@nickbradley]

He seeked alternatives first, but did ultimately have the operations. Just did it too late.
