Jony Ive is a great designer. I admire the work he has done, I have 2 macbook pros sitting on my desk right now next to the iPhone 6+ I own. Now that I have established my "apple credentials", I ABSOLUTELY HATE the apple propaganda videos describing their products with his voice. It may have played 5-10 years ago, but now I just think its pompous and superficial. Of course its just my opinion, but I really wish apple would revamp their whole showcase format. It really turns me off to hear things like "This is the most advanced iDevice we have ever produced, it truly is an amazing, magical device". Shit, it better be, you spent the year iterating on it!!!
I don't know anything about audio engineering but is it possible to remove, or at least tone down, the background music in these? It really prevents me from making product videos with them :)

He sounds like Simon Cowell but with a lothario sensibility. This guy should be narrating romantic novels for chicks.
