Find a demo that Apple/Jobs didn't fake. He was infamous for this shit.
Most top level shit is.
While it's a mistake to fake what you can't build (I have cautionary tales about folks that did that), faking what you can and will build in order to build momentum to launch is not as uncommon as people might think.
Reminds me of Elizabeth Holmes. She really really believed it would be built. She just needed more time and money. Sometimes it’s a challenge to accept a failure, and move on.
