It has a following for those keynotes unlike any other. Yet even Apple says 'we can spend our money better elsewhere now'? That's truly amazing! Will future keynotes come via YouTube or streaming to the retail locations? Or is Apple seriously planning to move to a model of product launches that doesn't focus on the keynote at all? Either way, this seems like a serious blow to the entire industry of tradeshows, or at least the largest acknowledgement to date of a downhill trend for them.

Yet even Apple says ‘we can spend our money better elsewhere now’?

That’s truly amazing! Will future keynotes come via YouTube or streaming to the retail locations?

Or is Apple seriously planning to move to a model of product launches that doesn’t focus on the keynote at all?

Either way, this seems like a serious blow to the entire industry of tradeshows, or at least the largest acknowledgement to date of a downhill trend for them.
