Overheard: "Craig Federighi is a smoldering silver fox" - pRICE cUBE - 06-09-2022
I overheard some ladies talking about how, "Craig Federighi is a smoldering silver fox". He does have a certain suave look about him with presentation confidence that seems to love the presentation spotlight. Cook seems to hand it off to Federighi to run keynotes. Yeah, I know that this has nothing to do with Macs, iOS devices, and Apple in any important sense. He does bring back some oomph that Cook lacks that Jobs used to bring to presentations.
The stories below seem to pick up on his presentation energy as well.

Aside from the fact that he’s a handsome guy (this very website called him “a mood” and a “daddy” in 2020), the main thing Federighi brought to his performance was presence. I watched the whole two-hour stream and don’t remember what any other presenters aside from Cook even looked like.
Federighi, meanwhile, was a one-man army with an arsenal full of bits. He donned a tracksuit and (with the help of Apple’s visual effects team) shot a basketball hundreds of feet into the air to transition to a segment about checking live sports scores on your iPhone’s lock screen. At one point, he dramatically sprinted in slow motion to the tune of some emotional ballad, even taking a second to comb his fingers through his immaculate salt-and-pepper hair. I think that was a segue into an update about iPadOS, but really, who cares?

For me, the Apple presentation schtick has run its course, no offense to the smoldering cat.

Where would you hang out to overhear women talk about Craig Federighi?

College campus. They appeared to be middle aged if that matters. I don’t think anyone under 30 who isn’t a Mac head knows any Apple executives. The ladies introduced me to the term “silver fox”. I had to look it up.

I'd say his eyebrows are too bushy, and he has an awkwardly wide stance at times. But then I'm not a middle aged female.

He isn’t Steve though.
I agree that he is a nice looking man. I think he takes care of himself and tries to look nice.
I was surprised when he showed a picture of his daughters that they were so young.

Fyi, "wide stance" has a certain meaning amongst my friends

:agree:
Most of the presenters sounded like they’d taken public speaking lessons from Johnny Olson; that forced, artificial “enthusiasm”.
