Stevenote

Stevenote

"Stevenote" is a colloquial term for the keynote speeches given by Steve Jobs, who was the former CEO of Apple, at events such as the Worldwide Developers Conference and previously the Macworld and Apple Expos. Because most Apple product releases were first revealed to the public in these keynotes, 'Stevenotes' often caused substantial swings in Apple's stock price.

Jobs's final Stevenote was delivered on June 6, 2011 in which he announced iCloud, Apple's new cloud service. OS X Lion and iOS 5 were also announced that day. This was his last public appearance before his resignation as Apple's CEO on August 24, 2011 and death on October 5, 2011. New CEO Tim Cook currently gives Stevenotes, which began with the announcement of the iPhone 4S, one day before Jobs's death.
