Cook walks WSJ's Ben Cohen through Apple's normally sealed prototype archive for the 50th anniversary, and names the iPhone launch as his favourite Apple moment because the touch interface "worked like your mind worked".
Long-form profile interview by Ryan D'Agostino for Apple's 50th. Cook says Apple is "definitely still" Steve Jobs's company, and gives his most extended public defence yet of his engagement strategy with the Trump administration.
Interview with Michael Strahan on the 50th anniversary, AI and privacy. Cook argues AI is neither good nor bad in itself, and stresses that Apple does as much processing as possible on-device so "even Apple doesn't have access to it".
Extended sit-down with David Pogue ahead of Apple turning 50. Cook says the two things that are essential to Apple are its people and its culture, not its intellectual property.
