"We make money if we can convince you to buy an iPhone but I do not want you to use too much of our products" Tim Cook announced in an interview with our colleagues at ABC News . The man said that the purpose of Apple is of course to sell his iPhone, Mac, iPad and others but he does not want you to abuse or that you end up feeling dependent. "I think people" have to put their smartphone "more often," says the leader.
Apple does not want you to abuse your iPhone
"What we want is for our products to enrich your life and allow you to do things you could not do without their help," adds Tim Cook. In order to allow users to limit the use of their iPhone or iPad, Apple has integrated iOS 12 with a function called Screen Time. The option allows you to set time limits for each application according to certain times. In the interview, Tim Cook admitted that the option has not allowed him to reduce the time of daily use of his iPhone, he out of his pocket more than 200 times a day.
In a second time, Tim Cook has a news evoked the respect of the private life. "It's a real crisis of surveillance. When you think about it, some applications know more about you than a voyeur who spies you out of your window "regrets the leader, evoking obviously Facebook. Cook reminds that Apple does not earn a cent by offering the Facebook app on the App Store.
This is not the first time that Tim Cook stands as a strong advocate for privacy against companies like Facebook or Google. Last year, he had already accused Google of telling bullshit to Android users about the use of their personal data. "We try to collect as little data as possible from your account," says Tim Cook.
