WSJD interview
At the Wall Street Journal’s WSJDLive conference in Laguna Beach, CA, Cook says that massive change is coming to the car industry, but does not say whether Apple will make a car.
It would seem like there will be massive change in that industry, massive change. You may not agree with that. That’s what I think.
He also says that Apple Music has 6.5 million subscribers, and that Apple will begin taking orders for its new Apple TV on 26 Oct, and would start shipping by the end of next week
‘We haven’t even started yet’
Speaking at BoxWorks, the annual conference by cloud storage firm Box, Cook is asked “What’s next for Apple?” by Box CEO Levie.
We haven’t even started yet. Keep in mind our goal isn’t to be the biggest. We’ve always wanted to make the best, and we’ve always believed very deeply that if we made the best products, we can keep investing and doing more work. We’re still doing that, and that part of our DNA is very much the same as it’s been.
Will give away fortune
Cook tells Fortune that he will give away all his wealth after he provides for the college education of his nephew. Cook’s net worth is about $120 million. He also holds $665 million in restricted stocks. Cook says he has already begun making donations, but rather than simply writing checks, he wants to develop a systematic approach to philanthropy.
