Apple held its “Awe Dropping” event on Tuesday, introducing the iPhone 17, new Apple watches, and additional products. Yet, the online response was rather lukewarm. Numerous individuals found the design of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max lacking appeal. The event triggered memories of previous Apple gatherings, with users posting clips of Steve Jobs’ legendary keynotes.

Jobs, famed for his blue jeans, white sneakers, and black turtleneck, launched revolutionary products live on stage. A clip of Jobs presenting the MacBook Air has received 13,000 likes.

In contrast, Tuesday’s Apple event was pre-recorded and emphasized minor adjustments to current offerings. The reveal of the iPhone Air was significantly more low-key compared to Jobs’ showcases.

A clip of Jobs displaying the iPod Nano was also circulated recently. Many comments voiced dissatisfaction, implying that Jobs would not have been thrilled with the recent event.

Nostalgia frequently depicts the past more favorably, and while people have consistently yearned for “the good ol’ days,” the emphasis on nostalgic clips of Jobs instead of enthusiasm for the iPhone 17 mirrors present feelings about Apple.
