Your wish is that a business that relies heavily on marketing for their products and services not have much business and marketing leadership?
I’m all for constructive criticism, but a pitch like this is a pretty hard sell when the post Steve Jobs Apple is more profitable and successful than ever. And Apple services are a big part of their blueprint for growth going forward.
Wishes are nice to have sometimes, though, even if they won’t come true.
34 mins for a dialogue that would have fit into a single tweet?
Yeah he was brilliant at giving genuine insight without giving anything away about Apple’s future plans.
This was aggravating to watch as an Apple fanatic…it was like watching the current “President” without a case of dementia, while not answering questions asked and just dumb questions asked on topics Apple obviously won’t answer and give away. Also, Greg comes off as stuck up.
^ Jaws has the arrogance of SJ nailed down but without the brilliance.
Yet they keep asking over and over knowing they are not going to say anything or even hint. So tired of it.
The thing that cracks me up that no one seems to get is...how did USB-C become the choice in the first place? Because of free market adoption. Companies were free to choose to adopt USB-C because it proved itself to be worthwhile, and in turn companies using it proved it to the world to a be valid choice. The free market did that. Not government.
So how does another major standard with the resumè of USB-C ever happen again in a world where no company is free to adopt a newly innovated connector? If anyone even bothers to develop one, there is no opportunity for the free market to prove it out. The next mandatory standard that is forced upon you by government after USB-C, will be one that hasn't been tested by billions of people for years before being written into law.
She could have asked about stage manager support on iPads, and who the target audiences are for the 4 different iPads, things that are current and she may have gotten some answers on. Instead, she dwelled on issues that apple legal or apple secrecy police put the clamps on for obvious reasons.
I want a iPhone that can scan any room that I am in(with the phone in hand), show the measurements of everything in said room, give the temperature of the room, determine if there are any leaks, bug infestations, harmful particulates, harmful gases, and report back. Also if there are people in the room identify them via their Apple/Google account ID nickname, avatar and personal description

Of all the reasons I’ve heard of people hating Apple, I’ve never heard anyone say, “Apple sucks because the iPad doesn’t have a calculator app”
That really does describe politicians, and C-level execs in a nutshell :|
I don’t know if micro USB was the worst connector. It’s definitely in the running for open standards. I had a Nokia that had a bad proprietary connect. I hated that one too.
Remember the old graphing calc app on Mac? It was awesome, super useful as a student.Is this a joke? Apple could make an awesome graphing calculator on an iPad.
I really dislike both these guys. If you don’t wanna be there, then just don’t. No need to be so arrogant about nearly everything.
I think Joz and Fed were great as always — they both complement each other well, so that is probably why they pair up for interviews.
The interview questions were poor — usb-c, calculator app, unreleased products, etc. She did ask about advertising and privacy, and their stance was clear — there is nothing wrong with advertising and tracking, just as long as the user opts in to the process.

Says the person who doesn't have to be the one to actually perform the task. 🤔
She also could have asked these things in more polite and realistic fashion, and not gotten completely stonewalled as a result.
Her ambush lightning questions ended up getting no answers, when they could have gotten something of Apple's thought process.
You don't ask point blank "Will the Mac ever get a touch screen?"
You ask "It is clear that Apple has resisted the touch-screen PC device and instead focused on iPad and iPhone where multitouch is king. That being said, can you give us some insight on why macOS is not right for touch UI?"
You already know how Apple feels about this, because their actions speak louder than words. So lean into it, and get Apple to elaborate on how they feel. If Apple bites and dives into mantra about why macOS and touch do not go to together, you've gotten your answer. If they balk at the question and are hesitant to say anything negative about macOS and touch, then you've gotten another answer, etc. etc. All of which is better than getting "who can say" as an answer, because you were not smart enough to ask a question they would answer.
Would make more sense to put it in every iPhone cause it would be more expensive to design 2 different pcbs just because of the connector
Why would they want apple to put I iMessage on android phones? It’s Apples own software and doesn’t need to run on other things than apple devices. If u wana use apple services which a part of apple devices go and get apple devices.
Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi and marketing chief Greg Joswiak spoke with tech columnist Joanna Stern at The Wall Street Journal's Tech Live event in California on Tuesday. A full video of the interview is now available on YouTube.
Notable topics discussed included Apple admitting that it will have to comply with the EU's law requiring the iPhone to switch to USB-C, the lack of iMessage on Android, the lack of a built-in Calculator app on the iPad, App Tracking Transparency, privacy, working from home vs. the office, and more. The interview was also live-streamed on Twitter.

What a lot of bulls**t... All the responses were bland, stupid, non-concrete and self-serving. Joswiak is worst than I thought, Craig is a more likable guy, but still very cynical, as Apple usually is.
I kind of sense they will come put with USB C iPhone only for Europe market like the e sim iphones for US only market
Good point, RE: what comes after USB-C will not be market vetted. I’m surmising that Apple will find some ways to push that spec forward, using the same form factor. Think of Thunderbolt 10 connectors on the 2030 iPhone or something. But, it will be nearly impossible to change the form factor of the connector in the future unless the EU deems the world ready for something different. I see Apple getting rid of ports all together on many products and then not worry about it.

Obviously it’s not something Apple would make for an iPad since it’s a calculator and Apple apparently would never make a calculator for the iPad
I guess they can’t figure out how to design a decent calculator for the iPad? That’s not something I’d be proud of if I believed it
Wireless headphones can’t be used for music production
They don't really care when this is no brainer feature. The basic app should on all their products.
