Apple CEO Tim Cook to Appear on MSNBC on April 6

[MacRumors]

Apple CEO Tim Cook will sit down for an interview with Recode's Kara Swisher and MSNBC's Christopher Hayes on Friday, April 6 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, MSNBC announced today.

The interview will be titled "Revolution: Apple Changing the World," with no other details about Cook's appearance at this time.

With no additional information available, it's not clear what Cook's discussion will include, but topics like privacy and data collection are likely to come up given the recent scandal with Facebook and Cambridge Analytica and concerns over the CLOUD Act.

Cook may also spend time discussing the new educational initiatives Apple plans to introduce at its March 27 event, and we could get additional commentary on the consequences of Apple's power management features in older iPhones.

Cook is often tight-lipped about new products, but he could potentially provide some veiled hints on what Apple's working on both this year and in the future.

We'll have coverage of Cook's interview with Recode and MSNBC here on MacRumors on April 6.

Apple stopped changing the world when Jobs died. Tim Cook only tries to change the world with his politics.

 

[swingerofbirch]

These corporate-advertisement "interviews" make the news industry look really bad. There's usually one ostensibly hard-hitting question about a recent controversy, but it always ends up being a softball in reality, like David Muir pushing Tim Cook on the Dock to Lightning connector switch. Interviewees should go into an interview not knowing where the conversation will go or how they will be portrayed, but that is rarely the case.

Considering Apple’s growth exponentially since Cooks leadership in 2011 and onward that Apple has taken since Job’s passing with the company‘s value and expansion of products/services, what you’re posting is absolutely false.

I think he's going on a world tour to promote the new emojis

I can't wait to listen to one of the best leaders in business speak.

Come on, the staff too? As if that's ALL Apple works on...

 

[9081094]

I’ve some serious questions to ask:

How come Apple neglected so many areas and let competitors eat Apple’s lunch?

Why did Apple make so little progress in their computer hardware?

How come Apple charges the same amount of money for 4+ years old design?

Some people feel trapped into Apple’s ecosystem, what does he think of that?

How come Siri was first and ended last?

What is compelling about Apple TV when all smart tv’s sold today offer more included?

How come Apple does one transit of a city a month and google does a whole country in the same timeframe?

I can go on and on... and I really wish I could ask those questions because no one does it in an interview

Excellent questions! I'm sure many would love to hear the answers from the man himself, but doubt we will ever get them

RE: "The interview will be titled "Revolution: Apple Changing the World," ..."

The last time Apple changed the world was when they Introduced their A7 processor with their iPhone 5s !

Qualcomm stumbled for an entire year plus after that, & it resulted in HUGE SUCCESS when the iPhone 6 family was introduced ... 50% of the Reason for that success was the larger displays, the other 50% was because Qualcomm did NOT, at that time, even one year later AFTER the A7's availability, have a competitive 64-bit processor !

I am UN-aware of anything Apple has done since that has "Changed the World" ... but, I wish they would ! ... enthusiasm (for Apple) is at an All Time Low ! ... we'll, since the intro of their first iPhone, that is.

10-bit color "capture" & "display" would definitely Change the World, but who knows who will get their First ... it "could" be Apple, but I'm NOT betting on it !

Being the company with most money in the bank doesn't "change the world" unless you're considering investment opportunity since that time. They've changed the design of the iPhone and begun providing services that are subpar in contrast to the competition's, and even those services are needing to be run on the competition's infrastructure. Siri and iTunes are a joke. We haven't had a new Mac Pro or Mac Mini in nearly 4 years. What we have gotten are some new crappy TV series like "carpool karaoke" that nobody asked for and a plethora of emojis that don't require any development effort.

 

[now i see it]

Umm let me guess... Exciting products in the pipeline?

The flip side is it seems Apple has changed the world big time in spite of the prognostications about how Tim Cook would sink Apple in a New York minute.

I think the decline has begun with the launch of the X and it's subsequent "lower than expected" sales numbers. Apple is biting off more than it can chew with their loyal customer base... they alienated a lot of people with the price point of the X, and they have already alienated their power user base by releasing an extremely expensive iMac as a surrogate to the new Mac Pro that should've been here 2 years ago. The fact they haven't released a new Mini or an updated Macbook Air with a Retina display shows that they don't care about their entry-level Mac users anymore.

Impossible to tell. Apple had a record breaking quarter. While nobody or no company is infallible, Enron, Bernie Madoff, Lehman bros, blackberry; Apple is a smart company and I don’t discount them. They’ll be in for another record breaking quarter in dec 2018. Last year I didn’t buy an iPhone X, but I already spent $2,500 on other Apple products.

Your above statement has nothing to do with what you quoted below about Tim Cook. It was just a way for to interject a callous comment because you’re disgruntled at Apple for your own personal reasons, which you’re entitled too.

Hence:

Tim Cook only tries to change the world with his politics.

He is consistent and calling Fox News objective in an earlier post is hilarious right there...

Wozniak and Jobs changed the world. Cook is just milking the world.

He should milk away. Stock is up, record breaking quarter, etc. new products that are selling well, according to Apple and the analysts.

I can quickly see this thread being relegated to PRSI....

 

[Derwinism]

Its momentum from Steve Jobs era that has kept the company alive. Iphones, Ipads, Siri etc.
Nothing new after that, well that has revolutionized the world anyway. Apple is now a follower.

 

[mabaker]

Give me a break. Steve Jobs was all about politics himself. You are just perpetuating your own delusions.

And they could have made a faster/better/cheaper iPod back in 2006 when Apple were iPod kings of the world. Apple hasn’t released a new product of relevance since 2010.

Making money is not the same as changing the world. Crappy software and devices that don't last is not changing the world, is about making money.
