Renewable energy, digital privacy, and focusing on the user experience is smug? What happened to this site? The Apple fans must have left to go to other sites. Just Android trolls left
I've never seen a non-Apple smartphone that is worth more than 200 bucks. Samsung charging Apple prices is ludicrous
and that zippy 2gb of ram upgrade....Hard to change the world with 16 GB base storage
those are exactly why Apple is losing 10 mil iPhone sales last year.
What does an election have to do with a private corporation? Also, why do you care about his private life? Also, yes, they still are the most profitable company to every exist in human history
That's why no single competitor can match iPhone salesthose are exactly why Apple is losing 10 mil iPhone sales last year.
Consumers believe the iPhone is the best. Hence why no competitor can match their sales

Apple CEO Tim Cook spoke with CNBC's Mad Money host Jim Cramer yesterday for a two-part interview covering a wide range of topics. In the second portion of the interview, which aired tonight, Cook talked about Apple's recent feud with the FBI, what Apple stands for, and who he personally admires.
On a question about what Apple stands for and what he's most proud of, Tim Cook said Apple conducts business in a way that's "right and just." He pointed towards the company's environmental efforts, use of renewable energy, focus on human rights, employee shareholder plans, and privacy efforts. "All of these things help us stand for something," he said. "And I think that's what people want."
He went on to say that he's proud of the products Apple makes that give customers the ability to do things they couldn't have done otherwise, from giving a voice to an autistic child to providing tools for artists to giving grandparents a way to talk to their grandkids with FaceTime. "All of these things excite me because they're bringing out the best in people," he said.
The discussion on Apple's values turned towards the company's recent dispute with the FBI, where Apple was ordered to unlock the iPhone 5c of San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook, leading to a vicious and public debate between Apple and the U.S. government. Echoing past statements, Cook said the FBI's request, which asked for a new version of iOS that bypassed passcode restrictions, went too far and had the potential to put millions of people at risk. He said Apple had to stand up for what it believed in, even though it led to a fight with the government.
Cook reiterated his hope that the encryption debate will lead to a discussion where different groups, from law enforcement to civil liberties groups to technology companies, are represented and can weigh in on the issue.
In a final question, on who he admires, Cook named human rights leaders he's spoken of in the past and former Apple CEO Steve Jobs.The first half of Cook's interview with Cramer aired last night and covered topics including innovation, the future of the iPhone and Apple Watch, the growth of Apple services, Apple's performance in China, and more.

There are a lot of cheap people out there that will buy crap and live with the problems. Those that bough Microsoft crap now use Andriod. However, the aftermarket for Android is awful. Unlike Microsoft that has a significant aftermarket, market share is not making the platform diverse. All the cool apps are on iOS because they have money to buy accessories. About the only way for a third party to make money on Android is by adware or subscription.
Android isn't a company. Its a free OS that any no name company can put into their worthless devices. Of course it has the highest market share.. and lowest profits and customer satisfaction
Thanks. Tim is in a classic "inherited crown" position. A few centuries ago, he'd have taken the name "Steve Jobs II" to keep the franchise going with the assumption of the greatness in the hands of someone not as able. Ive is taking Steve's design philosophy and Tim is doing his best to keep the business sense going. Whomever replaces Tim when he retires, my guess that will be sooner than most expect, will define the company for the next few years.
Coming form a Brit, you mindset makes a lot of sense. All those VATs and social service tax, surprised you have money for a mobile phone at all.
No they changing the world with Watch bands, 480p webcams, 5400rpm HDs, Haswell CPUs, 4 year old GPU architecture, and 13" iPads.Hard to change the world with 16 GB base storage
He's already did more than the SJ's lifetime. He talks to the media left and right since he came out from the closet. He said he wants to live in private but he likes the attention.
