Why isn’t the title in the preview pane?

That guy isn't unshaven, that's how he always wears his facial hair. And that's just how he dresses. It's really more about the technology.
But it's actually not as good as the Galaxy S III in my opinion - especially once you mod the software.

Pssst - Apple’s now-deceased prior CEO presented all the prior iPhones unshaven and in a turtleneck longsleeve T.

I would also point out that in the tech world, it seems that the more interesting/popular/innovative a product is, the more casually dressed the company’s dress code permits. It’s almost as if not having to be strangled by a suit and tie means that they can be more creative...
Research in Motion (maker of Blackberry) has been all button-down, suit and tie, business-formal since almost its inception. Where are they now, again?

Why does it matter? If the product performs, he can present it in a bunny suit with a pancake on his head.

Well, I believe in wearing a neatly tied necktie, long sleeved shirt, dress slacks and dress shoes to work every day, and have done so for going on thirty years.
Nobody forces me to. I could wear a polo shirt, and people wouldn’t say a word.
But that is me, it is my choice. I think you are making much ado about nothing. Besides, you apparently aren’t their target market. That is probably a good thing for you.
Whether anyone likes or dislikes Apple products, it is universally agreed that Jonathan Ive (the unshaven guy with a three day beard and curly chest hair spilling out of his shirt) is a legend in the industry, so he could probably wear a dirty t-shirt with holes in it and get away with it.
Besides, I think if he came out in a suit, it would be disorienting to many of their customers.

Oh God. Really? That is pretty Tech Sheek. What's the big deal? Is the product selling that is the bottom line? Yes the product is going off the shelves in droves.

They do make boat-loads of money and are set to become the world’s first trillion dollar company. They must be doing something right.

When I first started practicing medicine, I wore a coat and tie every day although I never cared much for it. Gave it up after a year. Then went to casual slacks and a button up or pull over shirt.
At one point about 10 years later, I decided to go to coat and tie. The patients started complaining that I seemed more approachable in the pants and shirt.
So I changed back. They liked it better.

Self admittedly, I'm an Apple fanboy, and I work in tech. The culture in tech is different for some firms including the one I work at. We can wear jeans, t-shirts, listen to music, and chill out in the rec room with the Xbox when we want to.
But, we work damn hard and make a good buck, as I know the people at Apple do. Wearing casual clothes has become trendy in some of today's workplaces, especially tech. And the guy in the video is Jony Ive, he designed the iPhone, iMac, iPad, and just about every other successful Apple product in the last decade. The t shirt, 5 o clock shadow, and jeans is his trademark, just....
As the turtle neck and jeans were Jobs. You don't have to wear a suit to be serious in the workplace and successful firms such as Apple and Google have shown us that.
End rant.

I just don’t see the mystique or appeal of being addicted to Apple products. I have a Samsung galaxy II S, it works fine for me.

It may be as simple as this: We make shotloads of money, but still have no class.
He could have been dressed in a house robe and I wouldn't care, I've made a lot of money from Apple stock over the last 10 years.

I assume this post is a joke....... If serious its one of the dumbest ever on FR and that’s saying something.

You do realize that guy is Jony Ive, the $10,000,000/year designer of all iDevices? He has other things to worry about than dress and whiskers while earning more than $1/second.

Apple execs dress for the Cool. They may even have used focus groups. The Cool of all ages buy Apple products, just visit any Apple store to see.
