Det var inte bara iPhone XR som nämndes i CNBCs intervju med Tim Cook. Det pratades också om Apples ökade intresse för tjänster och om hälsa. Cook hintade också om att Apple kommer släppa ett antal nya tjänster under året, men inte mer än så.
On services, you will see us announce new services this year. There will more things coming. I don’t wanna tell you about what they are and I’m not gonna forecast precisely, the ramps and so forth. But they’re things that we feel really great about, that we’ve been working on for multiple years.
Det har länge ryktats om att Apple ska ha en nyhetstjänst på gång, med hjälp av Texture Magazines plattform som de köpte upp under förra året. Dessutom har det också ryktats om en strömmande videotjänst med “originalinnehåll” producerat av Apple som beräknas komma någon gång under året.
Han tog också upp Apples växande intresse för hälsovård:
On healthcare in particular and your wellbeing, this is an area that I believe, if you zoom out into the future, and you look back, and you ask the question, “What was Apple’s greatest contribution to mankind,” it will be about health.
Because our business has always been about enriching people’s lives. And as we’ve gotten into healthcare more and more through the Watch and through other things that we’ve created with ResearchKit and CareKit and putting your medical records on the iPhone, this is a huge deal.
And it’s something that is very important for people. We are democratizing it. We are taking what has been with the institution and empowering the individual to manage their health. And we’re just at the front end of this. But I do think, looking back, in the future, you will answer that question, Apple’s most important contribution to mankind has been in health.
När tjänsterna lanseras gick Tim Cook inte in på, men man kan ju hoppas att någon av tjänsterna når Sverige.
