Public image

[edit]

Within the community of Apple users and developers, Federighi is known for his presentations of new Apple software, frequently featuring absurdist humor such as references to his hair, use of new software features to organize events such as office karaoke parties and camping trips, and his claimed love of the bandRush. A running gag in Federighi's macOS presentations involves him describing the fictional exploits of the “crack product marketing team”, venturing naked through California in a Volkswagen Minibus and ultimately arriving at the location after which the version of the operating system is named. Federighi has some notable nicknames around Apple, such as "Hair Force One". Additionally, Apple CEO Tim Cook has called him "Superman".[17][18]

His first appearance onstage during a major Apple event was at WWDC 2009, where he helped Bertrand Serlet introduceMac OS X Snow Leopard. He made another appearance during 2010's 'Back to the Mac' presentation, showing offMac OS X Lion. He introducediOS 7 andOS X Mavericks at Apple'sWWDC 2013 developer conference, andiOS 8 andOS X Yosemite atWWDC 2014.[19][20] AtWWDC 2015, he delivered most of Apple's 2-hour main opening-day presentation, introducing iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 "El Capitan", and revealing plans to release Apple's new programming language Swift as an open-source project.[21] In September 2015, he demoed 3D Touch in the newiPhone 6S.

At WWDC 2016, Federighi introducediOS 10 andmacOS 10.12 "Sierra" and said that the 15-year-old OS X would be rebranded as "macOS" in tune with the naming scheme used foriOS,tvOS, andwatchOS. He emphasized the use of widgets on the iOS lock screen and announced new APIs for Siri and iMessage that would be open to all developers. In March 2016, Federighi wrote an article forThe Washington Post stating that "I became an engineer because I believe in the power of technology to enrich our lives" as his motivation.[22]

In 2017, Federighi announced that the Safari web browser would block cookies from following people from site to site.[23]

At anApple Special Event in September 2017, Federighi initially failed to properly demo theFace ID feature on theiPhone X. Apple stated that before the event, some Apple employees had inadvertently triggered Face ID on one of the demonstration phones, causing it to instead prompt for a passcode when Federighi attempted to unlock it.[24]

At WWDC 2018, Federighi introducediOS 12 andmacOS 10.14 "Mojave".

At WWDC 2019, he introducediOS 13,iPadOS andmacOS 10.15 "Catalina".

He made a cameo appearance within the September 2020 Apple Event, appearing briefly during a segment. However, he did not speak.[26]

At the November 2020Apple Special Event, a video of him “setting the mood” by waking a MacBook from sleep instantly became ameme.[27]

In November 2021, he appeared at theWeb Summit talking about the dangers of allowing sideloading in theiOS ecosystem.[28]

At WWDC 2022, Federighi introducediOS 16 andiPadOS 16, as well asmacOS 13 "Ventura".[29]
