I'd rather Apple cannibalize Apple than somebody else cannibalize Apple.

From an app point of view, if you looked at innovation on the PC, you'd be hard pressed to find companies innovating. The list is small.

I learned that focus is key. Not just in your running a company, but in your personal life as well.

I want to be the pebble in the pond that creates the ripple for change.
running data people
People are running huge enterprises off of hacking and stealing data.
smartphones revolution stage
Anything can change, because the smartphone revolution is still in the early stages.
rip views names
From our point of view it's important that Apple not be the developer for the world. We can't take all of our energy and all of our care and finish the painting, then have someone else put their name on it. We can't have that. The worst thing in the world that can happen to you if you're an engineer that has given his life to something is for someone to rip it off and put their name to it.
data government giving
I'm not targeting government. I'm not saying hey, I'm closing it because I don't want to give you any data. I'm saying that to protect out customers, we have to encrypt. And a side affect of that is, I don't have the data.

I am who I am, and I'm focused on that, and being a great CEO of Apple.

The iPad remains Apple's second bestselling product - all the more reason why the iPad Pro needs to be "big" in every sense of the word.
reading messages want
My business is not reading your messages. I don't have a business doing that. And it's against my values to do that. I don't want to read your private stuff.
encryption banking credit
Without encryption, you and I wouldn't be able to do our banking online. We wouldn't be able to buy things online, because your credit cards - they've probably been ripped off anyway, but they would be ripped off left and right every day if there wasn't encryption.
focus lots watching
We have to try to get back to basics. We've been watching lots of film to find our problems. We just have to focus on all the little things.
experience ran took
We just took that experience and and ran with it.
