The conversation started with Tim Cook talking about how COVID-19 affected Apple. He claimed that he was proud of the efforts Apple took as part of COVID relief, by distributing masks and ventilators, equally well as by their Exposure Notification API which saved 'thousands' of people.

Much of the conversation then revolved around privacy, and what information technology ways to Apple. Tim, once over again, reiterated that privacy is at the heart of Apple.

"We've been focused on privacy for over a decade. We see it equally a basic homo right. A fundamental human correct. And we've been focused on privacy for decades. Steve used to say privacy was stating in manifestly language what people are signing up for and getting their permission. And that permission should be asked repeatedly. We've always tried to live up to that. […]

If everyone is worried someone else is watching them, they begin to exercise less, think less. And no 1 wants to alive in a earth where freedom of expression narrows. Privacy goes to the heart of just one of the key values of Apple."

Android Has More than Malware Than iOS

The talk and so shifted to the latest DMA rules. According to the new rules, Apple will have to allow side-loading on iOS. Strongly disagreeing with the rules, Cook said that features like App Shop nutrition labels and App Tracking Transparency "would not exist anymore."

"I would say [side-loading] would damage both privacy and security. I hateful, yous look at malware every bit an example, and Android has 47x more malware than iOS. Why is that? It's considering nosotros've designed iOS in such a way that there'southward ane App Store and all of the apps are reviewed prior to going on the store. That keeps a lot of this malware stuff out of our ecosystem. Customers have told us very continuously how much they value that. And then we're going to be standing upwards for the user in the discussions and nosotros'll see where information technology goes. I'm optimistic, I call back most people looking at security know that security is a major risk"

Tim Cook Avoid Apple Car Talk

Towards the terminate of the interview, Tim Cook was asked about the Apple Car. As expected, Cook declined to comment by maxim, "In terms of a car, I've got to keep some secrets.
