Apple CEO Tim Cook: It 'Means More to Us to Get it Right' Than to Be First

[Renzatic]

Profits are important to Apple customers, even when they aren't shareholders.

Sometimes I like to sit around and pretend that they'll give me some of that money.

I'm not asking for much. Just a million bucks. That's not even 0.001% of their total holdings. They could afford it, and they'd be doing a good deed by giving it to me.

Now if you had the proper outlook, you'd sit around trying to figure out ways to give them more of YOUR money. Why would you want Apple to give you money, it would reduce their cash on hand. All you should care about is how much money Apple makes.
And besides, Samsung pays you quite well.

Samsung's little watch is going to look pretty silly once Apple launches theirs. Talk about getting it wrong and totally guessing.

I think there are going to be a lot of dissapointed Apple fans when/if they launch an "iWatch". I honestly dont think it will live up to the hype that people are expecting.

I had to laugh about your guessing remark. Your "guessing" its going to look "pretty sillly", yet your "guessing" the "iWatch" is going to look different and function differently!

Something tells me were are getting more than one device. Samsung is trying to guess what the iWatch will look like and do. Once Apple release theirs, I'm sure Samsung will change their design.

Are you guess that it won't "live up to the hype people are expecting"?

Im not the one that said they had a problem with people guessing

Apple CEO Tim Cook: It 'Means More to Us to Get it Right' Than to Be First

They need to fix users having to scroll through all of an artists' albums/songs, what if you have a lot of music by that artist?? **** is wack and makes ZERO sense.


Also make the button to rewind and fast forward parts of songs larger, why is that **** so tiny?


I'm one of the few who likes ios7 overall but these two things kill me.

 

[zipur]

Sorry folks but there are thousands of people who will dump apple for the news samsung. Samsung will get it right some day and then, well...

 

[jblagden]

This is very evident. This is why I like Apple's things. They take their time and get it right. Unlike Samsung who will rush **** products to market, and then nobody ends up using them because they are gimmicks or unusable to start out with.

With the exception of the gimmicky & expensive TouchBar.

Is that so? Explan iOS 7, iWork and Final Cut Pro X then.

Yeah! iWork was better before Tim messed with it, moving the tools to a sidebar.

If Apple made upgradable, repairable, and expandable products again, we'd give them more of our money. But while they're waiting to return to making stuff that's good for the consumer, we consumers are holding onto our money.

Yeah! They put the charging port in the worst possible place - the bottom! Just to make sure no one would ever leave it plugged in! It's funny and incongruous that they didn't do that with the keyboard, especially since the mouse (in my experience) goes through batteries faster than the keyboard. By the way, I'm still using my Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard from 2011 - they still work.

Amazing good peripherals indeed. Technically, talking head Cook hasn't accomplished anything since.

Have you not been around the last few years with every launch Apple has there is something wrong with the hardware or software?
Some people have to be blind on here.

Why would you reply to such an old thread? Ridiculous.

This seems to be happening a lot lately.

Just because it’s old doesn’t mean someone can’t revive it. If it’s that much of a problem, why not have threads expire after say, six months, after which it could either be removed or commenting could be disabled?

However, Apple has been on a roll. So that's an accomplishment in and of itself.

Starting with the iPhone 4.

Replying to really old threads, per se, is not a problem. But replying to really old threads, without some sort of acknowledgment that you are doing so, should not happen, IMO.

Something like, "Reviving an old thread here, but I really think that…" would make a lot of sense. Many people who reply, after the first new reply, don't even realize that they are participating in a very old thread.

Oh, okay. Sorry about that. I'll do that next time.

I think it shows how long Tim has been talking about exciting things in the product pipeline.

You can bump an old thread and the stuff Tim was talking about could apply today. Nothing has changed.

Comments are pretty funny when you look at Apple Music. Wasn't first, didn't get it right.

Pandora’s actually pretty good. And you can get native Pandora apps for Mac, Windows, and Linux. They even have a Pebble app. I realize Pebbles have been discontinued because they were going out of business and Fitbit bought them, but my Pebble still works and it’s a great watch.
