Apple COO Tim Cook Speaks at Goldman Sachs Conference

And not one question about MacBook Pro's. . . How ironic.

 

Just give us new MBPs already.

 

i think at&t will be around for a very very long time. apples to exclusive to be invclusive.

 

That's what I was thinking also. Perhaps the interviewer was already satisfied with his MBP that he bought a week prior to the Q&A.

 

Apple will be making their own processors for all their products, that way no one can do hackintoshes again, and it will be a very controlled environment. Apple style!

 

It's like rain on your wedding day

 

WTB new MBP specs and date...

 

"the management team would never let hubris take hold."

Seeing how humbly that answer was formulated, I am very relieved.

I think he was referring to the products though.

 

"People are our number one asset", eh? You'd hope the second banana of a big company would be above spouting cliché.

 

Why is anyone from Apple speaking at a conference by the biggest crooks in the world?

 

I suggest talk about macbook pro

 

Q: Where do you see things going with the Apple TV?
A: It's still a hobby, but our gut tells us there's something there. The go-to-market model is difficult, and we have no interest in being in the TV market. But we have continued to invest in the Apple TV and will keep doing so.

Glad to here they are still planning to invest, but I just want a NEW APPLE TV! It has seen NO new hardware aside from the slight bump in storage since it was created, over three years ago.

 

No MBP talk

Oh? Didn't you know? Apple's just the all-things iPhone/iPad company now with the iPod (of any type) being the tag-along kid brother. Everything else runs a distant second.

 

That would suck.

 

sounds like the usual blabber to me spoon feed everyone with stuff avoid answering anything with an actual answer that people want to hear and carry on as per normal

 

Nice q/a, but nothing about macs!

 

-interesting read on the whole

I like the statement of never letting "hubris take hold".

-that statement sounds prideful to me

 

So Apple's more than willing to sell their soul to to the devils (AT&T) just to make a quick buck.

Looks like AT&T ponied-up MORE money to keep the iPhone MONOPOLY going in exchange for the additional "getting" of the iPad.

Quite an ethical company some of you praise.

PS Glad I'm in Canada (one of the countries listed above) that DOES have a multi-carrier choice.

 

That's the first thought that sprang into my head also. Of all the companies to be linked with, GS is the worst!

 

I can really see that happening in the next 5 years or so as they build out the iPhone OS platform.

"Q: Where do you see things going with the Apple TV?

I am so glad to hear this! My guess is that they are transitioning the Apple TV to the iPhone OS to add the SDK and App Store and integration with iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch! FINALLY! But yes please give us a hardware refresh this year Apple!

I also love that he said... "we have no interest in being in the TV market" to shut up all the delusional people that think Apple will make a TV with Apple TV in it!

Ha, the only thing ironic about that song is that Alanis Morissette does not know the definition of irony!

 

Oh reeeeaaalllly… iPhone is still the the only one-carrier-exclusive phone in Finland . The first and only ever so far…

 

Why would they ask such a boring question?

 

It sure looks like Apple is going strongly towards what Steve said in the iPad launch, "a mobile devices company". They're investing more in developing the iPhone OS instead of OS X. Most public interest (other than this forum) is in iPads/Pods/Phones instead of computers. And they never update their laptops.

Too bad, they make the most kickass machines.

 

Awesome quote, even though this is inherently true for most technology companies.
