Tim Cook has been with Apple Inc. for 23 years and has served as executive director for nearly a decade, but used a new podcast appearance to suggest that there could be some sort of change on the horizon.
“I feel great right now. And the date isn’t in sight,” the 60-year-old told the New York Times’ “Sway” podcast, which was released Monday. “But another 10 years is a long time and probably not another 10 years.”
The interview addressed a wide range of topics, including the controversial Parler social app that was blocked by Apple earlier this year, Apple TV + and autonomous vehicles. Asked about Elon Musk’s claim that he once tried to discuss the possibility of selling Tesla to Apple, he said he had never spoken to Musk, but that he had “great admiration and respect” for the company he built. -a.
“I think Tesla has done an incredible job, not only of establishing leadership, but of keeping leadership for such a long time in the EV space,” Cook said without revealing many clues as to what Apple planned for. this sector. “We’ll see what Apple does. We investigate so many things internally. Many of them never see the light of day. I’m not saying it won’t be done.”
Other topics covered include:
When removing Parler from the App Store:
“In some ways, it was a simple decision because it doesn’t follow the App Store guidelines. You cannot incite violence or allow people to incite violence. You can’t allow hate speech and so on. And they had gone from moderation to not being able to moderate. “
“I hope they come back. Because we work hard to bring people into the store, not to keep people out of the store. And so, I hope they put in the moderation to be in the store and come back, because I think that having more social networks there is better than having fewer. “
On social media and the attack on the Capitol:
“I think that amplifying social networks is something that worries me deeply. And targeting tools, the same tools that are used to target in advertising can be used to target for misinformation or extremist purposes. that.”
“It was one of the darkest days in our history. And it was played in front of everyone. I felt like it was more of a movie or something, that it was something that wasn’t real, that it couldn’t be happening in the United States. So, I hope this in-depth inspection will take place. “
In “data theft”:
“I am just terrified. And so we have things that appear as a nutrition nutrition label. Privacy policies have become these things on several pages that people blindly say, I agree, so they can move on to the next screen and move on. A nutrition nutrition label, as well as a food nutrition label, gives you some key information at a glance. We will improve this over time. “
The Epic Games:
“It’s about following the rules and guidelines of the App Store. And they did that for years and then they obviously decided they didn’t want to follow the rules anymore and they went through something about reviewing applications and then after going through reviewing the application, it changed it on the server side. So it was a kind of misleading move. And so we go to court. We will tell our story. We will talk about the privacy and security aspects of the store. And we are confident in our case. “
On Apple TV +:
“We are making serious investments in Apple TV Plus.”
“For the same reason we are in products, we strive to do what’s best, not the most. And so, in the TV Plus area, we’re only about originals on Apple.”
“We put ourselves all in it. It’s not a hobby. It’s not a dive. Because it’s an original accent, we don’t instantly have a catalog of 500 things in it. We’re going to build in time.”
The vote:
“I think we probably all have a wrong conversation about voting rights. We should talk about using technology. How can we make it so easy for our turnout to reach 100? Or is it really approaching 100. Maybe that we’re in the 90’s or something. It’s pretty arcane. “
