Today Korea = Reporter Hanil Yoo | CEO Tim Cook (Chief Executive Officer) of Apple, a leading information technology (IT) company in the United States, announced a “significant announcement” related to Apple. It is noteworthy whether there will be any mention of Apple’s electric vehicle in this announcement.
According to foreign media such as the US economic media CNBC on the 13th, the US news program CBS broadcasts an interview with CEO Cook at 7am on the 13th local time (9pm on the 13th KST).
This interview was pre-recorded, and CBS’This Morning’ host Gale King, who met Cook’s CEO, said, “It’s not about a new product,” but “There will be a major announcement.”
While it is not yet known to the outside what the CEO Cook will specifically mention in the broadcast that day, various speculations are being made in foreign media.
First, it was predicted that it would be related to Apple’s rival Samsung Electronics.
The US IT media’Fon Arena’ mentioned that the broadcast date of the Cook CEO interview (13th local time) was one day earlier than the date of’Galaxy Unpack’, a new product release event of Samsung Electronics (14th local time). Do you intend to intercept the spotlight to receive?
Samsung Electronics is planning to showcase the’Galaxy S 21′ series, a flagship model at this Galaxy Unpack. This new work is receiving a lot of anticipation as the improved design was confirmed in the previously leaked renderings and real photos. The Galaxy S series is a model that directly competes with Apple’s iPhone.
Along with this, it is the possibility of mentioning the so-called’Apple Car’, which is Apple’s first electric car. In 2014, Apple established a new autonomous vehicle division named’Project Titan’.
In particular, this is the first time that Cook’s CEO has come to an official seat after the report of “Apple will release self-driving electric vehicles in 2024” by Reuters on the 21st of last month (local time).
In addition, expectations are added because Apple is in negotiations with Hyundai Motor Company, a domestic automaker, for self-driving electric vehicle cooperation. Hyundai Motor Company showed a cautious position, saying, “There is no decision yet in the early stages.” However, the industry believes that if the two companies’electric vehicle alliance’ is actually formed, it will have an influence to shake the market.
Meanwhile, in the content of this interview, which was partially released by CBS, Mr. Cook said that “someone should take responsibility” for the intrusion of US President Donald Trump’s supporters in the US Congress. On the 10th, Apple deleted the’Parler’ app, which is widely used by Trump supporters, from the App Store.
