Apple introduced us to its new products, including the iPhone 15 family, at an event held last September. The company’s CEO, Tim Cook, has also been giving interviews since this event. The famous businessman now spoke to Brut.
Cook answered the questions in his interview with the magazine. These include “Why are iPhones released every year?”, “What will iPhones look like in 20-30 years?” There were questions like.
Having a new iPhone every year is a “wonderful thing” for those who want it, says Cook
One of the questions asked to Cook in the five-minute video was why a new iPhone model comes out every year. The CEO did not give a very satisfactory answer, stating that a new iPhone coming out every year is a great thing for people who want it. He continued by talking about the ability to replace iPhones and how they integrate non-working phones into new ones. Cook’s full statement is as follows:
“I think it’s great to have an iPhone every year for those who want it. What we do is we allow people to come in and replace their phones. We will resell that phone if it still works. “And if it doesn’t work, we find ways to take it apart and get the materials needed to make a new iPhone.”
Of course, there are other reasons behind Apple releasing new models every year that Cook did not mention. The main reason, simply put, as we can all guess, is to make money. Knowing that there are customers in the market who want to renew their phones every year, the company is trying to increase its profits in this way. We see this not only in Apple, but in all companies from Samsung to Xiaomi.
What will iPhones look like in 20-30 years?
Another question Cook answered was about what iPhones will look like in the future. CEO: “What do you think an iPhone will look like in 20 or 30 years? Do you think innovations and technology can save the planet?” He approached the question cautiously and mentioned that the phone would be environmentally friendly rather than its appearance:
“I think it will be carbon neutral. Frankly, I think it will be much more advanced than it is now, but I do not want to give away all our secrets to you. “Just from an environmental perspective, I can say it will be carbon neutral.”
