Steve Jobs introduces Apple TV 2 Apple Special Event 2010

[@davidslaton]

I miss Steve describing and announcing things

[@dodywidodo9433]

He was god tier in that area

[@Chugg_Gaming]

Agreed

[@keef_khan]

I miss when Apple wasn’t anti-consumer and anti-competitive AF

[@keaton718]

You almost hoped something would go wrong in his demonstrations, just to see how he'd handle it, and he always handled it well as if it were planned from the start, like it was all just a joke.

[@NickWebster]

My parents are still using a 2nd Generation Apple TV that I bought over a decade ago, amazing how well it still works.

[@4mIhere]

And im using the same model also :D Okay I know it's max 720p but with my 32 inch TV it's very much enough. Music stream via home theater works awesome and it has compatibility with Apple TV+. And I can mirror my Mac screen very effectively to my TV via Apple TV. Okay I know this sounds like marketing a very old device but it works so good ^^ I also used to bring the device to my parents but now im just using it myself (my parent's are not very tech savvy ;P)

[@NickVII]

This was also my first Apple TV, I gave it to my little cousin years ago and he still uses it. Heck I’m still using my AirPort Express from 2009!

[@cardinalRG]

@nickWebster --Good to hear. I'm still using a Sony Trintron TV from 1991, and it's never given me a moment's trouble.

[@JoBot__]

@@NickVII I use an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station from 2009 as my router.

[@thenormalone6753]

IMO Airplay was one of the most futuristic features Apple has ever released

[@maxresdefault_]

I'm glad that it led to Chromecast being as good as it is today

[@keaton718]

The fact it isn't built into every new TV, even budget TVs, is tragic.

[@EverettCDavis]

These old announcements by Steve are so much more interesting to watch than the overproduced trailers they have now.

[@Delicate141]

I miss those events, and Steve made them so fun to watch. I want to see a presentation with actual people and audience, not a "show" like these days.

[@keaton718]

Covid changed things and revealed the pre-recorded format works. Nintendo pre-records their events with much success too. E3 isn't even relevant anymore, the platform holders don't need live events, why would they in the KZbin age?

[@joshuamartin5085]

It’s less technically and productively challenging to do everything pre-recorded. You don’t have to worry about having issues or mishaps happening live, as it’s all done in a controlled environment

[@omarr7825]

OMG ! This presentation is 13 years ago, and is something we want now 😅

[@JamesR624]

Kinda amazing that they nailed the design of Gen 2 so well that they've just stuck with it for over 22 years now.

[@20252c]

13 years.

[@pepetomson1]

I miss this kind of presentation, in live with innovation

[@calenbolo]

Watching this on my Apple TV right now thanks Steve

[@keaton718]

Jobs was convinced he'd "solved" the problem with streaming, before he died, if you believe his biographer. And you can kind of see what his vision may have been, with the Apple TV app incorporating other streaming apps. Prime Video is doing something similar today. I'm sure if Jobs was still alive he would have evolved his vision and truly "solved" the state of streaming we all put up with today. He had a habit of coming up with a vision and enforcing it into reality. Sadly the problem of streaming is hardly solved and we now pay more than we ever did for cable if you subscribed to all the different platforms.

[@slob5041]

In after Steve they mentioned that Scott Forstall actually wanted to continue the project but nobody really knew what Steve was thinking. They were going to create something kind of like pandora for tv using real networks but he got overruled and they did they Apple Watch instead. I think you can see a lot of hints that Steve really really wanted to break into that market.

[@theslimbin]

It was nice when they described why they made the changes they did

[@Kevdog1920]

I miss him too

[@Ellzia]

This is probably the oldest apple product that still fits in with their current design language

[@Venomnik0]

I feel like the ipod 6th/7th gen fits that description

[@RS-gn8nv]

When Steve just came in and said - streaming is the way to go (in a consumer language)

[@gullible119]

Now streaming is becoming as bad as cable. You’re already paying for a subscription for amazon prime with no ads, and out of nowhere they come with an ads included subscription and unless you pay them a bit more, you’ll be having ads included while you watch a show.

[@evm6177]

By far the best reliable modern UI implementation and updates I have found has to be on KZbin when it comes to video streaming. Minimalist UI combined with better user specific AI algorithm would make the whole Smart Tv experience less crowded as well and more reliable / fun than it has come to be these days.

[@michwashington]

This design ditched so many ports that I wish we still had ! 3:52

[@closeben]

Confused why they made it Rental only with this generation. Glad they made purchasing available in the next version cause I prefer to have a full library I can go back to watch any other time without paying a fee again.

[@gullible119]

[@dallasmojicancamuyot]

So curious what Netflix was like 11 years ago.

[@dallasmojicancamuyot]

Btw, I just saw the movie UP on the icons. I feel so old.

[@diasstebanak]

Same.

[@tripjj8662]

It’s was at about this time that they switched from mail in Netflix subscriptions to streaming

[@lenadams854]

i'd have to agree with you on this

[@thenormalone6753]

11 Years ago it was still easy, affordable and good

[@DaRealFox_XD]

They really used to make it look like they were listening to us, (They actually were) But now it really seems like they’re doing the opposite. If Jobs was still here, things would be different in a better way.

[@TonyLasagna]

Can we all just agree that Glee was absolutely not Steve’s favorite show? 😂

[@kilo-watt]

Used to have a jailbroken Apple TV 2 running XBMC. Made it a great streaming device to watch anything back in the day.

[@keaton718]

Man I still have a modded original xbox with XBMC. Plex has nothing on how easy things were back then, once you got your networking goblins sorted out. It would stream even up to 720p content flawlessly.

[@Thomas-sw4eu]

Steve basically predicted the streaming world we know today

[@estradaj777]

Just updated to a 4K model sill works as it should.

[@next4978]

Back then Steve Jobs era it’s like 229$ product become 99$, Now 229$ become 2299$ 😂

[@BobMukhopadhyay]

Tim has brought money to Apple, but gone are the innovation, the understanding for their customers. And without innovation, Tim is taking apple to nowhere. Hype does not make a company survive long.

[@trancenut81]

says a curry muncher which probably cant afford anything apple.

[@m.s.35]

Completely disagree. Apple revolutionized Bluetooth headphones with zero wires, ease of use, sound quality, and transparency/noise cancellation. Before AirPods let's remember that most Bluetooth headphones still had a wire to connect the two, battery life was horrible, and sound quality was trash. Transparency and ANC wasn't common either before the APPs and if it was there it was bad. Now we're on the AirPods Pro two and the sound quality is legitimately really good And in 2021 the M1 they put it the MacBooks is still blazing fast and really and incredible thing even two years later

[@droopy_911]

Shouldn't they have asked the users who didn't buy it and why? 😂🤔

Steve was never good at presenting stuff he knew deep down sucked ass. (Pre iPhone "iTunes" phone, anyone?) If you've watched enough of his videos, you can easily tell in this one that he's annoyed at how cheap Netflix is, and $10/month for EVERY SINGLE MOVIE vs. $4.99 for ONE SINGLE MOVIE... he just knew Netflix was going to win this war. Just look at his wry smile when he mentions Netflix. It got a bigger applause than the whole TV thing!
