It is a case. It's this one.

No way Tim would be carrying his glasses in a $1.99 case.

 

[Peace]

See my edit. I said or one similar.

It does look like an eyeglass case. I wear glasses. I'm familier with such things.

What does Apple do in Austin that it doesn't do in Cupertino?

HR, Retail Support, Finance... Pretty much it's an extended Apple Campus. AppleCare is also based out of Austin.

I wear glasses too. And I don't carry a case.

Fine . If you want to think it's a phone enjoy it.

That's not a phone in Tim Cook's pocket. It's a flask of bourbon. HEY HO!

Tim Cook looks very fit and skinny, something I never notice before

I guess in the US thats "skinny". Looks normal to me.

Mostly the Two Step.



NY offers better deals. Things like 20 years, no tax.

Ah. And how much does land and office space go for in NY?

 

[Arndroid]

We need one in Florida Some people may not want to move to CA, TX or anywhere except FL

Not anyone normal! All the more power to those who choose to live there. The self selection process helps the other 49 states.

Looks absolutely nothing like and eyeglass case. Really?

He is a fitness junkie. He can be found in the gym nearly everyday at 5 AM.

As a fellow Bay Stater, I'll venture a guess. Some of think or assume that the company big wigs would have access to the latest and greatest for testing and real hands on experience. I remember reading that the first iPhone prototypes had plastic screens as was common at the time and Steve found that it got all scratched up with keys in his pocket, leading to the use of glass. At some phase of development, they would try out the prototypes and evaluate them, make suggestions, yell at someone, etc.

I am sure they have access to it. That's a no brainer. To assume they use it as their daily driver and walk around with it all the time is just... silly. Especially knowing that people (like you folks) will take a gander at his pocket, start blowing up the picture, and taking measurements.

Someone mentioned Steve Jobs did it. I still feel that is hardly enough evidence to assume Cook does it too. To each his own I guess. People belive what they want to believe.

Hmmm

 

[laudern]

I know what is in his pocket. It is the new rumoured fold-out ipad!

Good catch on the 5.5" iPhone below the knee. I missed that!

 

[BvizioN]

Definitely a bigger phone in his pocket. Maybe an M8 or Nexus 5?

Or iPhone 6 prototype!

Just like the iPhone 6!

Anyone know if this will be open to the public in any way? Maybe even have a company store? It'd be awesome if I can get an Apple cap or something like that.

Texas Governor Perry has given major tax breaks to corporations, effectively luring some tech companies in Silicon Valley like Apple to either relocate or expand facilities there. On the non-tech side, Toyota is building a new headquarters in Austin.

Gun manufacturer, Magpul is also moving to Texas. Industry is booming in Texas and a lot of people are moving down here from up north.

It's one of those iPhone flasks you get at Specs.

[lamerica80]

He'll probably say "magical" when they are announced.

Maybe even "truly magical".
