Apple's CEO reflects on product challenges, evolving technology, and his eventual departure in a wide-ranging interview.

Tim Cook defended the Vision Pro headset's slower-than-expected sales, describing it as an early adopter product designed to test the AR/VR ecosystem rather than appeal to the mass market.
Cook highlighted Apple's advancements in AI, including the upcoming 'Apple Intelligence' feature, which he says will become foundational for future iPhones.
The CEO addressed Apple's health technology ambitions, emphasizing the democratization of tools like AirPods for hearing loss and the Apple Watch for detecting conditions such as sleep apnea.
Cook acknowledged the departure from Steve Jobs' design philosophy with the iPhone 16's new physical camera button, stating it was essential to enhance user experience.
While Cook has not set a timeline for his retirement, he shared that he will step down when he feels it is the right time, reflecting on his long tenure at Apple.
