Will Steve Jobs Attend Tomorrow’s ‘Let’s Talk iPhone’ Event?

15 years ago

Tomorrow is the big day–will Steve Jobs attend the ‘Let’s Talk iPhone’ event, or will newly-minted CEO Tim Cook go solo to showcase his role? Reuters mentions that Steve might show up:

The Apple co-founder, a pancreatic cancer survivor who stepped down in August after his third medical leave, is expected to make an appearance, though a no-show by the Apple co-founder will not be a major disappointment.

Robert Scoble mentions on his Google+ that Steve won’t be attending:

I’m hearing that Steve Jobs won’t be at tomorrow’s press event. He’s just not feeling well enough to come out in public, I hear (and yes, that makes me sad, the industry will really miss him and they will see again tomorrow why). I keep wishing that these continued rumors are wrong, but know in my head that they probably are right.

Either way, I think a brief appearance by Steve Jobs would set the crowd and the world off, to show he is still actively involved. What do you think? Will Steve show up tomorrow?

That’s what I was about to say… More or less FaceTime tho… Maybe he’ll talk from the comfortness of his own home.

it would be nice if TC FaceTimed with SJ to showcase a new feature 🙂

…would’ve been nice to do that if Face Time had been introduced tomorrow.

No way Steve turns up in person. The pap photo I saw of him looked terrible. Also; it’s the first time the new CEO will be presenting a keynote in top billing so it would be bad form for the former CEO to make an appearance as it would overshadow Tim Cook.

Agreed. SJ is now “only” the Chairman, not the CEO. It will be TC.

All the best Steve!

While I would love to see SJ there, I think it’s good for Apple to let Tim Cook get some successes under his belt on his own. Hopefully Jobs will make a strong recovery, but I still think he should only make select appearances in the future until the public accept Tim Cook.
