Full Video of Tim Cook's D11 Interview Now Available

[MacRumors]

Hours after Apple CEO Tim Cook's talk with AllThingsD's Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg, AllThingsD has posted the full video of the interview online. The 81-minute video contains the full interview in addition to the Q&A session that followed. MacRumors provided live updates of the event. Last year it took several weeks for the full video to find its way online.

​

Steve Jobs was a regular participant of the D conference, having been interviewed on the stage and even appearing alongside Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Cook has carried on that tradition by serving as the opening session interview for the past two years.

Among the topics discussed by Cook yesterday:

- Apple Television - There Is a Grand Vision
- Wearables Are Incredibly Interesting, Nothing Great on the Market
- Executive Change Up Has Been "Great", Revamped iOS/OS X to Be Unveiled at WWDC
- Apple to Open Up APIs in the Future, but No Chat Heads
- Apple Hires Former EPA Chief Lisa Jackson to Oversee Environmental Efforts

Finally! The clips were incredibly revealing, I can't wait to see the rest!

 

[RolyPolyBird]

Its interesting how he has changed.. he is speaking with much more authority and less in Steve's shadow now.

Let me save you all a lot of time

Tim: We're still doing ok, I'm alot like Steve. We have really exciting products coming out. But I'm not going to say what, when or how much.

Walt: Thanks for being on the show. Good Night.

An exciting year seems to be ahead for Apple, even if it's only the iOS revamp.

Don't screw it up.

 

[Homeslice]

no questions about the coffee meeting?

shed some light about wearable devices I guess

 

[Rogifan]

I wish Tim had a better answer of the phone question. I got where he was going but he didn't really put it all together very well. These Wall Street bozos fret about Apple's margins shrinking on the one hand but on the other keep screaming that Apple needs to release a cheap plastic phone for China. Or worse they want Apple to morph into Samsung and dump product out there at every conceivable size and price point. Tim has to know these questions will be asked. He should have a better answer for them.

 

[Jobsian]

I like Cook. He conveys as being genuinely pleasant as opposed to the psychopathic superficial charm you sometimes see in other CEOs

 

[TreyCox]

Is it just me, or has Tim looked to have aged drastically over the last year?

Interviewer

I'm sorry to be critical, because I certainly have many flaws that could be picked apart. But from a purely professional standpoint I feel that Kara Swisher does not seem qualified to conduct these interviews. It comes across as though she doesn't have the technical knowledge necessary and I would even argue many of her questions seem juvenile, haphazard, or off-topic.

I certainly don't know this nice woman or her background in the technology industry, this is just how it comes across to me.

I have thought the same with many of her previous interviews that have been posted over the past few years. Oddly, she acts much more professional, and sounds more tech savvy on her guest appearances on Twit.TV podcasts.

I am not sure if she gets a bit starstruck, or if something else is going on.

I would've omitted the "I'm alot like Steve" part but otherwise spot on!

I mostly find her voice irritating, so I'm hoping to find a transcript.

 

[Jay42]

As much as I'm interested in what Tim has to say, Kara Swisher is almost intolerable.

EDIT: looks like I'm not alone, either.

Exactly. Total a nothing interview. Skip it.

 

[rainmanbk]

I'm sorry but the worst part about these D conferences are the hosts. Kara is a complete bitch and I can not stand listening to her stupid questions. Tim talks about usage on the web of Apple devices versus all combined Android devices. Someone starts clapping and she's like 'oh you don't have to clap'. She literally infuriates me. What a worthless person.

Or its an encouraging sign that he isn't overly spending his time being media prepped every time he steps out of Cupertino. As long as the investors don't lose enough faith to threaten the management structure, its not really a big deal imho. Far better to focus on the products and remain tight lipped.

We KNOW that Apple is secretive and Tim Cook won't answer questions about Apple's future.... so why not ask questions about the past that he CAN answer - like his relationship to Steve Jobs, how he came to Apple, the Apple work environment, his transition to CEO, what working with Jonny Ives is like... etc. etc. etc.

I have always believed these two are overhyped, but your comments just seem obnoxious and bitter.

 

[BornAgainMac]

They should have had the coffee auction after this interview.

Is there a link to the actual video or do i have to watch the postage stamp version on the MR article?

"Infuriate " is exactly how I felt at that moment too. They bring on the CEO of Apple to talk about Apple, ask him questions about Apple, and as soon as Cook starts talking proudly about Apple and not just some carefully prepared marketing but using actual facts, she shuts him down.

 

[TheRainKing]

I watched half of it earlier but found it quite boring.

And yes, Kara is extremely annoying, as always.

All the questions were very predictable. I still think Apple needs a good answer to the "why aren't you like Samsung" question.
