In a wide-ranging interview, Apple CEO Tim Cook discussed Steve Jobs, Siri, patent wars, China manufacturing, and more during D10 Tuesday night.
For Cook’s first conversation at the conference, held this year in Ranchos Palos Verdes, Calif., he discussed everything from the iPad to China manufacturing with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher.
Near the beginning of the interview, Cook discussed what he learned from the late Steve Jobs and how he is different as Apple’s CEO.
“I learned a lot from Steve. It was absolutely one of the saddest days of my life when he passed away. As much as you should see something like that coming, I couldn’t. Last year, someone shook me and said ‘It’s time to get on.’ mobile applications Development So that’s where it’s at today. What did I learn from him? We could be here all month…. I learned that focus is key; not just in running a company, but in your personal life. You can only do so much great, and the rest you should cast aside.”
During the Q-and-A portion of the event, Cook also talked about how Jobs convinced him to join the company. Five minutes into a conversation with Jobs, Cook said he wanted to join Apple.
Cook also discussed some of the uproar regarding Apple’s manufacturing facilities in China. Apple is working to track more than 700,000 workers and reduce overtime at the Foxconn facilities.Read More
