Some interesting quotes CEO Apple:
Design and Innovation
"Innovation has nothing to do with how many R & D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R & D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it. "
"The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament. "
"It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people do not know what they want until you show it to them. "
"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. “
"Innovation is the distinction between a leader and a follower."
"We used to dream about this stuff. Now, we get to build it. It's pretty neat. "
competitors
"Unfortunately, people are not rebelling against Microsoft. They do not know any better. "
"The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I do not mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they do not think of original ideas, and they do not bring much culture into their products. "
"I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success - I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products. "
Price policy
"IMac is next year's computer for $ 1,299, not last year's computer for $ 999."
"There are sneakers that cost more than an iPod."
