The “significant announcement” announced by Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, turned out to be a $100 million grant to combat racism. There was no mention of the’Apple Car’ expected by some in Korea.
The interview that CEO Cook shared with CBS’s flagship news program’This Morning’ was aired at 10 am on the 13th (local time).
In an interview, he revealed that Apple is launching a $100 million anti-racism initiative. It is about establishing a propel center, a base to prevent racial discrimination, and providing education, mentoring, and employment opportunities to minorities.
“We are all responsible for the urgent task of creating a just and equal world,” said Cook.
Earlier, CBS host Gale King released a video of an interview with CEO Cook in advance and said that Apple will “make a’big announcement’.” “This isn’t about a new product. I think it’s bigger and better than that.”
Accordingly, in the industry, the date of the interview with CEO Cook was the day before Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy S21 flagship product line, and recently, there was news that Apple may cooperate with Hyundai Motor to develop an electric vehicle (aka Apple car). Interest was focused on whether there would be.
