Apple in talks with Google for using Gemini to bring generative AI features to iPhones Despite having achieved much in his life and being one of the richest people in the world, Gates recently revealed that he will never be able to match his rival when it comes to performing on stage, where the Apple founder looked fresh despite having rehearsed his performance numerous times. Appreciating the on-stage qualities of Jobs, Bill Gates told Armchair Expert Podcast, "Steve Jobs was a natural.

It was always fun to watch him rehearse because part of his genius was, when he would finally do it, he would make it look like he's just thinking it up right there…I'll never achieve that level" "A big part of the job I had at Microsoft and the job I have now is explaining what we're up to in a hopefully straightforward way that connects with a particular audience… I like trying to explain things and I like getting feedback — what stories resonated or what didn't connect." Gates added. Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli in their 2015 book “Becoming Steve Jobs" detailed how the Apple founder prepared for keynote presentations months in advance, paying attention to every small detail.
