Isn't that technically a glove?
Depends on his life style.
I do not have a mobile phone at all.
I had one 7 or 8 years ago and got rid of it.
Never looked back.
I hate Twitter, facebook and all the other social babble software. It makes me puke.
The only thing I use is email and I look at that perhaps once every three days.
Even recently people tried to pressure me into buying a mobile phone too, so it would be easier to contact me, but as far as I am concerned 99% of the time they have nothing sensible to contact me about.
By the way...
Who is Tim Cook?

I deleted all my social media accounts over the last two weeks. Not just personal, but also for the business. Looking back, they have been close to zero use over the past 12 years.

I think that he's a little crazy. To put on the same level the immense, the inestimable value of the life, and a few electronic components is simply an insult to the human intelligence

I was dismayed when I saw this statement. However I realized now that it is impossible to die and be buried without an iPhone

The Sony Xperia android phones are the way to go
Moved away from Apple after the 5, had every one up until then and jailbroke every one.
Didn't like the restrictions Apple imposed and saw the Samsung S4 and jumped ship... got the S7 edge now.. very nice phone. and the battery hasn't exploded yet so all good..
It would take an exceptional phone to get me to buy another iphone though.
Way back I liked Apple as they were normally the underdog.

I looked it up.
Didn't know he had something to do with Apple.
I don't care about who works for which corporation.
I am only interested in whether I want to use the product.
And I definitely never wanted to use the overpriced Apple products.
What they sell should be 25% to 30% cheaper... at least.
I don't spend money on hype.
I agree with you. I think Cook's perspective on life has been deformed by his materialism and love for Mammon.

Oh common, what are CEOs to say about their own product? The truth? [haha]

Time Cooke must be a very sad individual is the end of the matter. Can he live without money, food, water, oxygen? OR perhaps he is dead right and in Paris without his iPhone he would in fact have died. I seen the news last week and it is a scary place even for the French!

Have you just discovered the secret of eternal life?
Seems fairly normal Apple promoting and talking about their brand as they do? truth is an entirely different thing.
Heck most people would probably do better without the constant distractions and 'urges' needed by ANY smart device, and especially the way Apple markets themselves.
Jobs had an uncanny Reality Distortion Field for convincing people the latest [insert product here] was amazing. I think the key is that he had some fantastic breakthrough products, and when he spoke you got the feeling he really believed in the product 100%. That made you wonder.. wow, maybe there is something astonishing in that hour-long demo of a movie-editor that I'm just not getting..
Cook / Schiller etc.. not so much. "This year we have some amazing products in the pipeline"... just like you say every year. A conveyer belt of meh.
Their laptops are nice, but they're stuck on the same upgrade cycle as every other manufacturer now, and there's limited scope for innovation in that form factor. Desktops don't seem to matter to them any more (booooh). iPhones are nice, but I have a 6 and no reason to upgrade, other than the fact my app force me to upgrade my iOS and when I upgrade iOS the phone will be slower. (boooooh). Most of their current innovation is removing ports - shaving a couple of millimetres off devices thickness (can't live without that..) - and forcing us to buy & use dongles.

Lol, I have a windows phone.
Since I'm still moving I must be undead, right Tim?

Don't own a cell phone, Don't want a cell phone, Never will own a cell phone. I've gone to clubs, parties with friends and it's always the same. About half the people there have their cell phones out talking to other people or wanting to show you tube or some nonsense. Seems as if people have no clue how to have an actual conversation and yet people get so off at me when they call for info or advice, then they put me on hold. I hang up, guess they are to busy
I use a Motorola V3. After years of stubborn indifference, I eventually had to cave in to family pressure. Now I have to talk to the wife anywhere I am.
It is indeed an impossible life without iPhone
