It was the company's CEO, Tim Cook, who gave the stage to Jamie Ehrlicht and Zack Van Amburg at the Steve Jobs Theater, two former Sony executives signed in 2017. Both gave way to a video starring film professionals and television such as JJ Abrams, M. Night Shyamalan, Ron Howard, Sofia Coppola or Steven Spielberg, among others, who expressed their impressions about the creative process.

Next, it was Steven Spielberg himself who entered the theater stage to refer to Apple as the "place where imagination and technology join forces." Later he spoke about Amazing Stories , the original series that he will recover for Apple.

But the highlight came to an end when the popular Oprah Winfrey made her appearance on stage. "There has never been a time like this, " Oprah said. “We want to be heard, but we also have to listen. So I have joined forces with Apple. It is the company that has reinvented the way we communicate, "he said. "The Apple platform allows me to do what I do in a whole new way."
