Watch the first twenty minutes and count how few times Jobs mentions how anything works. He names the frustration everyone in the room already feels about phones, then spends almost the entire segment just using the device, scrolling, zooming, making a call, and lets the room's reaction do the selling. It is the single clearest example of 'show the outcome, hide the engineering' you can study for free.

- The demo opens with a shared frustration, not a spec, so the audience is already nodding
- Jobs demonstrates by using the product live, almost never by describing a feature
- Reveal happens in small, sequenced moments, not one long dump of capability
