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?
