The first clip of part two of Tim Cook’s interview with Charlie Rose has posted tonight with a segment on Apple and privacy. In the interview, Cook discussed the privacy of user data using Apple services as Apple has mentioned in the past.
We’re not reading your email, we’re not reading your iMessages. If the government laid a subpoena on us to get your iMessages, we can’t provide it. It’s encrypted and we don’t have the key.
Cook also discussed how Apple’s approach to Apple Pay, its new mobile payment system, emphasizing that Apple is in the business of selling iPhones, not user information like other companies. Cook commented strongly that he is “offended” by the practices of some other companies. The shot at Google, which Cook stated is his idea of Apple’s competition in the part one with Charlie Rose, was mentioned similarly during last week’s iPhone event. Cook also discussed earlier privacy issues involving “server backdoors” and Edward Snowden. You can view the new clip below…

I love Apple.
But please don’t talk down to me with this garbage about how you can’t read iMessage.
Please don’t call Tim Cook a liar unless you can prove it.
I see. I should believe him. Because he said so. You know…I would like to….but I would as naive as it gets.
Unfortunately many companies have data destruction policies for their own employees but retain collected customer data forever. Obviously such data pools can be abused.
For example, conversations which take place over iMessage and FaceTime are protected by end-to-end encryption so no one but the sender and receiver can see or read them. Apple cannot decrypt that data. Similarly, we do not store data related to customers’ location, Map searches or Siri requests in any identifiable form. — Apples Website
Well if it’s on a corporate website it must be true.
You didn’t just drink the Kool-aid, you shot it into you veins
Herb, who would you expect to get information from about Apple’s Privacy policies? I think Apple knows best about what they can and can’t access
We are all upset that the Samsung/Google ecosystem is a dangerous privacy sieve. As Google makes money by selling metadata based on personal actions and information. There is no need to remind us at every turn. We know Googles approach is dangerous but we just accept it anyway.
Apple is in a good position to know.
But knowing something doesn’t mean there is 100% disclosure.
You’re a fool to take any company at their word. It’s not illegal to lie on a website.
Yes, it is illegal to a company to lie at any time.
herb: Company can’t lie you moron yet shamesung does that. Hmm, what mobile OS does shamesung use? Oh yeah, android from what company? Oh yeah, google who sells everything about you and spies on you 24/7.
@herb Yeah, I’d be much more inclined to take the word of some moron on a forum that doesn’t understand the first thing about encryption.
Hard not to talk down to you when you choose to be at such a level, by choice. iMessage is peer-to-peer encrypted. Apple CAN’T read iMessage. Period. Got it? They did this so they would not have anything to turn over to the Feds. You may not choose (there’s that choice again) to believe this, but Steve Jobs was no fan of the Feds. He is (not was) a peace-loving hippie. He resisted the Feds more than anyone else on the planet, for YOU.
Where did you hear / read that SJ was no fan of the Feds? Not discounting what you posted bust just curious.
If you’ve tracked with Steve Jobs and understood who he is as long as I have, from a child. And listened to his words carefully, because he always CHOSE them very carefully. It becomes abundantly clear. Nothing needs to be written about it. This is also why my predictions on what Apple is going to do in the future, are so accurate. I’ve been an Apple Consultant a long time until I just resigned my credentials because I’m changing careers. I am not an Apple fanboy, far from it, I just love to observe them and try to see what they’re seeing. So sorry, that I have nothing concrete to point to. It’s just plain.
And I’ll throw you a bone. The iPhone STILL has not closed the circle on its true intent. It will soon, but not to the degree Steve had envisioned. Hopefully the iPhone 8 will. And it’s not about the technology, the tech is already in it and mature, it’s about what Apple is ALWAYS about, market disruption, which has yet to occur, even though it’s disrupted other markets along the way, such as with ApplePay. The iPhone has yet to do what it was conceived to do. Soon, I hope. Hint: Look to features that Apple doesn’t make a really big deal about. Apple never adds features unless there’s a VERY good reason for it. Any feature that is only briefly mentioned or downplayed, THOSE are the ones to think about…. Those are the Trojan Horses :)
Very interesting and informative. Regarding this portion;
“And I’ll throw you a bone. The iPhone STILL has not closed the circle on its true intent. It will soon, but not to the degree Steve had envisioned.”
You believe that because Tim Cook is not capable fulfilling the entire vision behind the iPhone or because their focus is more elsewhere, like wearables?
No, it’s because the market players they want to disrupt were onto them from the start, and they don’t yield easily. Apple is always about the consumer, even when it doesn’t feel like it. U2Gate was a mistake, but it was born out of their burning desire to GIVE BACK to their customers. If they can truly complete the vision of the iPhone, it is us consumers that will win, big. They will too of course, because Android will lose a lot or share if/when it happens.
And you got that from where? A book you read about Steve Jobs?
The naivety of people makes nauseous.
I’m honestly more inclined to believe Apple than cynicism and the media. Even Snowden himself. Not on everything, but at least on privacy.
Right. Because Apple’s number 1 priority is … uh, well making money for its shareholders.
No company has ever withheld information for the sake of profit, right?
Corporate disclosure is an oxymoron.
Apple has plenty of times, told their shareholders to go get screwed. And sometimes that resulted from large withdraws of stock that hurt Apple. You be cynical all you want, but it does not make you correct in your ASSumptions.
In fact I only know one company that sells user information.
Who else does?
There are the social networks, but that’s what they are for.
I don’t live in USA so i couldn’t saw part two of the interview, does anybody know where and when i can watch the interview online?
It will be on Charlie Rose’s website here in the next day or so…
Part 1 appeared on YouTube after a few days. Expect the same for part 2. Search on “Charlie Rose Tim Cook”
