I like to think Craig enjoys that sort of thing and it makes him feel like an actor or someone doing show biz. What bothers me is rather Tim Cook and his super coordinated and carefully planned movements, camera angles, facial expressions, etc. It's not natural - although maybe he is in fact an android? I am not sure I would like to work with that guy. He seems extremely tense and probably would freak out at someone having a bad day or even making a bad joke in the same room.

I'd also prefer a more casual approach.

This statement seems unfair to me. Not everyone who looks tense would lash out at innocent people.
Yeah I guess you are right. I have heard that he pushes teams to work ungodly hours but I don't work for Apple and I don't know Cook, so yes it was unfair.

I swear every presentation he spends a greater and greater portion of his speaking time doing prayer hands.
Maybe he's just tense on camera. Lots of people lock up when reading from a script, for a video that's going to be seen by millions of people.
They're doing one of the single most important things for the company's performance in the next year or years; the Apple events alone can make Apple's market value jump or fall by hundreds of billions. If you had that influenced, you too would have a serious team behind these presentations, and you would spend weeks rehearsing and polishing your presentation.
I hear you. I guess they are making extra effort these days to try to gain market share. I mean in terms or revenue and profits they've already won, but it's always in the nature of a company to want more, keep expanding, keep growing.
