Apple CEO Tim Cook to Appear on MSNBC on April 6

[Michael Goff]

None of which are industry firsts. Face recognition has been around for years. Wireless... their wireless sucks. They don't even have a god damn charger out yet. The watch... who cares. Animoji... really? I dunno who invented it... it certainly wasn’t Apple, but the knock off from Android is already better.

And just because he continued to increase profits doesn't make him a great leader of the company. He should be working in accounting and monetary planning if that’s all you can til your hat to. Bring on an innovator. And a leader who won't put you to sleep every time he speaks.

Innovation and invention aren’t actually the same thing.

I like how you think being first makes any difference whatsoever.

You aren’t paying attention or are too ignorant to give credit to the innovation happening at Apple. Silicon, 3D depth sensing, FaceID, (which Samsung just showed it's significantly behind), Watch, and many of the camera features we see today. Apple’s version of face recognition is more advanced, smaller, more secure, and better implemented than what we’ve seen before.

If you actually think the knock of Animoji is better, you really aren’t paying attention. Samsung’s version doesn’t even do it in real time. Watch the mouths on the creepy Samsung avatars.

Going around and making things "better" two years after they've been out isn't the Apple I used to know.

Apple is rarely first. Even the iPhone wasn’t the first smartphone or touchscreen, but it’s the best implementation of the technology.

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.

Jobs was unique, and the founder. Cook is the builder.

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.

Yep, that was it exactly. Softball questions -- with Hayes prefacing one tough-ish question with a "the cynic in me might say ..." (to which Cook replied: " ... the cynic in you would be wrong ...", to which Hayes appeared to agree eagerly).

The crowd was positively sycophantic. It was one big piece of Apple product placement -- an advertorial.

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

Then become an Apple shareholder and go to the meetings. It's a great opportunity to directly ask Tim Cook your questions. That is, if you're not just pontificating.

Thanks but no thanks. First i don’t want to waste my money on shares, second I see troubles ahead by what they deliver, third why is everybody so scared asking question that express customer concern?

So easy to moan from the back...

"will sit down for an interview" as opposed to what ? Dangling from a boom pole. Now that I would tune in for.
