Cook: Apple’s Biggest Contribution Will Be to Health
It’s only two weeks left: the big iPhone 14 event! Apple CEO Tim Cook (probably) therefore gave an interview to Popular Mechanics, a tech website.

The Apple Watch Pro (or Apple Watch Series X) is also expected to hit the market this fall. This is a watch especially for (extreme) athletes.
‘Apple values ​​and standards are central’
In addition to Apple helping fit people to stay fitter, Tim Cook says in the interview that the company is also very committed to accessibility, privacy and education. The former of those three is something Apple has been working on more and more lately.
Cook reports that next to health, accessibility for Apple is one of the most important points. Everyone should be able to use Apple’s products. At the end he catches up with the interviewer about Steve Jobs.
Cook believes Jobs would say Apple could do better, but in a positive way: “I think he’d find things he loved and things he’d say, ‘We can do better.’ I think he would do both. Like we all do. We are never really satisfied. We are always working on tomorrow.’
