Apple CEO Tim Cook Discusses Tech Regulation, Privacy, Education, Health, and More at TIME 100 Summit

The category only includes one product and its prior versions. Unless AirPods are considered wearables. Maybe Beddit?

Of course AirPods are considered wearables...and they are becoming a HUGE business.

He didn't say Apple doesn't care or doesn't do a good job. He said CONSUMERS don't care.

....Which is why I questioned that member how he would know that, because that is nothing more than an insinuation on their behalf. Point is, you _need_ a company like Apple to advocate privacy, showing the consumer they care and what distinct changes they incorporate into iOS/macOS, etc. to protect the consumer over what other tech companies do not do. That was the point behind my post maybe that you over-looked or misunderstood.

Tim is way too overhated. I like the guy tbh.

Lip service while Apple invades customers' privacy with face recognition at Apple stores and false arrest.

Great job on a straw man. Whatever happened is a one-off and there are two sides. Good luck in winning that suit.

Time magazine disagrees with you. Should I believe you over them?

Is it hate to expect a keyboard on a $2000+ laptop to work properly?!? Is it hate to expect 'PRO' computers to be upgradable?!? Is it hate to expect to pay only a slight upmarket cost for memory upgrades instead of paying double or triple retail for no reason whatsoever and NOT being able to upgrade on the consumer end?

Tim Cook is doing a horrible job and has sacrificed for long term existence for short term gains.

Short term is now turning into 8 years. And like a lot of other things, the view one has on the job that TC is doing is subjective.

And most of that was Steve Jobs' roadmap... that's now gone.

And now it's Tim's roadmap, since 2011.

I hate how Tim keeps on trying so hard to make privacy a thing people should care about. Most people don't care, they have the FB app installed. No one cares that google knows what you searched for.

If privacy is as insignificant as you suggest, then hate seems like a disproportionately strong reaction to Tim Cook's advocacy of it.

HOW ABOUT US FINALLY EXPERIENCING THIS:

“ Tim Cook on .....

* ... lowering SAR levels in future iPhones to be lowest among all smartphones on the market (just to prove that Apple can and care).

* ... awareness about potential health risks due to 24/7/365 exposure to man-created EMF (wi-fi, bluetooth, DECT, cell phones, etc.) and how to handle this (protect best the Apple users) in the future.

* ... introducing corded headset with air tube technology (like those for Defendershield) to keep EMF radiation from head/ears as much as possible. “

OMG. Please go and learn what a roadmap is. I'll help start you off: it's not when someone dies, the roadmap stops.

You might as well just admit, that beyond the iphone 5, you really don't know what Tim decided to do with in-flight plans. What was already there that was unchanged, and what was altered, stopped and/or added.

Again, you think that Tim apple, with all the MASSIVE f ups that Apple has been going through as of late didn't follow Steve's roadmap, which gave us computers / software with far less issues?

The short answer is yes. As far as the MASSIVE ***, I notice the class action suit is going to trial for the home button issues of the 4, 4s and 5. That one is all Steve.

Meh. Never says anything new. You can practically set up a bingo sheet with:

- Our values
- We care a lot about our products
- Apple is doing great
- Great products in the pipeline (perpetually)
- Etc.

But its fixed game... User cannot win.

If Apple keeps counting up the privacy game, then why can't he answer the question "If you value our privacy soo much, why do you want it?"

Not saying Apple doesn't do good job, but i can do better myself by keeping it to myself. and not share it with any company.
