Tim Cook Says That He Might Leave Apple in the Next 10 Years
Apr. 11, 2021Now, if you do not know who Tim Cook is, let me give you a brief introduction. Cook graduated from Auburn University in 1982 and worked at IBM’s computer business for 12 years. Before joining Apple back in 1998, Cook was the VP of corporate materials at Compaq for only six months.
After Steve Jobs hired Cook, he became Apple’s Senior Vice President for worldwide operations. In his early days, Cook was known for hiscost-cutting methodsand profit-generating capabilities. Later, after Jobs’ death, he became the Chief Executive Officer of Apple.
Under his supervision, Apple has developed several innovative products, introduced new product lines like theApple Watchand theAirPods lineup, and also becamea trillion-dollar company. Moreover, Cook is also an activist who fights social injustice against the LGBTQ community and racism.
Now, the Apple chief recently made an appearance in the latest edition of Kara Swisher’s“Sway” podcast. During the interview, Cook and Swisher discussed several topics ranging from theimpacts of social media on societyand thecurrent state of Big Techto him being called “Tim Apple” andthe Epic Games lawsuit. Moreover, Swisher also asked Cook about the future ofelectric carsandElon Musk’s Tesla.
Near the end of the interview, when Swisher asked that is Cook going to be working at Apple for 10 more years, Cook gave a negative response. His actual words were:“10 more years, I probably not. But I can tell you that I feel great right now. And the date’s not in sight. But 10 more years is a long time and probably not 10 more years.”
So, in a way, Cook confirmed that he will retire from his position sometime in the coming ten years. However, as he mentioned, the date or the year of his retirement is still“not in sight”.
