Apple CEO, Tim Cook, went to Chicago to check out a new Apple Store and ended up talking about its successors.
"My role as CEO is to prepare as many people as possible to become CEOs, and that's what I do. "Then the council will decide," Cook said in an interview with BuzzFeed News.
In the BuzzFeed video, Cook was sitting next to Angela Ahrendts, former Burberry CEO, who runs Apple's retail store, and was mentioned as a potential future CEO of Apple.
Ahrendts, however, said that the specific reports that wanted her to be the next CEO of Apple are "fake news”And“ nonsense. ”
Cook, is 56 years old, and joined 1998 as Apple's senior vice president of global operations. He was named CEO In August of 2011, when co-founder Steve Jobs resigned for illness. Jobs died three months later in October, a few days after the release of the iPhone 4S.
Although Cook may be rather small to withdraw, some Apple observers have thought he might be interested in a future career in politics, as he has shown more political interests than previous Apple CEOs. Cook, however, denies having future plans to deal with politics.
On the other hand, Cook spoke about the upcoming iPhone X, which was released on Friday.
"We will see what will happen," said Apple CEO.
Let's mention that in case Tim Cook's plan doesn't go well with the two Appliances iPhone 8 and iPhone X, investors could demand drastic changes in Apple's leadership from the board.
Of course, Tim Cook is probably unlucky in his career as Apple CEO, as the benchmark has always been Jobs…
