Here’s are some excerpts from that call:
The most important thing to Apple is
to make the best products in the world. We aren’t interested in revenue
for revenue’s sake. We could put the Apple brand on a lot of things and
sell a lot more stuff. We only want to make the best products. We’ve
been able to build market share and have a great track record with iPod
of doing different products at different price points. I wouldn’t view
those as mutually exclusive as some might. We’re focused on making great
products that enrich lives.
Last few days, there have also been rumors that Apple is planning to launch a larger iPhone with a 4.8-inch screen, to
compete with similarly sized Android based smartphones. iMore reports
that Tim Cook had this to say when he was asked if Apple had plans to
launch an iPhone with bigger screen.
[Tim Cook] said Apple had already
introduced the larger, 4-inch iPhone 5, and that it had the most
advanced display in the industry (perhaps referring to its in-cell
technology), and that no one else comes close in terms of quality. He
also said that the way Apple went to 4-inches, which involved increasing
the height but not the width, changing the previous 3:2 aspect ration
to 16:9, preserved the iPhone’s one-handed ease of use. Cook said that
Apple put a lot of thought into the iPhone’s screen size, and he
believes they picked the right one.
As usual, Tim Cook also acknowledged that they are working on a number of new products:
We’re working on some incredible stuff. The pipeline is chock full. We feel great about what we’ve got in store.
Tim Cook also reiterated that Apple TV was an area of intense interest:
This is an area of intense interest
for us and remains that. I tend to believe that there is a lot we can
contribute in this space and we continue to pull the string and see
where it leads us. Don’t want to be more specific.
Cook revealed that Apple had sold 2 million Apple TVs in the last quarter, a 60% growth year on year, which is quite impressive.We can’t wait to find out what “incredible stuff” Apple plans to launch this year.
