Title: No, Apple won't make an iPad-Mac hybrid, Tim Cook says Post by: HCK on November 17, 2015, 03:00:16 am No, Apple won't make an iPad-Mac hybrid, Tim Cook says
<article> <section class="page"> <p>Apple CEO Tim Cook caused a minor kerfuffle last week (http://www.macworld.com/article/3003919/ipad/tim-cook-on-ipad-pro-why-would-you-buy-a-pc-anymore.html) while promoting the iPad Pro in an interview with a British newspaper when he asked, “Why would you buy a PC anymore? No really, why would you buy one?”</p><p>The question baffled Mac users, and seemed to suggest that Apple might one day phase out the Mac—or combine it with the iPad to make a hybrid device similar to Microsoft’s new Surface Book. Cook clarified the meaning behind his question in a new interview with the Irish Independent (http://www.independent.ie/business/technology/tim-cook-apple-wont-create-converged-macbook-and-ipad-34201986.html), telling the newspaper that Macs and PCs are not the same. Snark on PCs aside, Cook said he understands that some people need desktops and notebooks, while for others, a powerful tablet like the iPad Pro (http://www.macworld.com/article/2982414/ipad/ipad-pro-faq-everything-you-need-to-know-about-apples-12-9-inch-mega-tablet.html) will suffice.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3005419/tablets/no-apple-wont-make-an-ipad-mac-hybrid-tim-cook-says.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: No, Apple won't make an iPad-Mac hybrid, Tim Cook says (http://www.macworld.com/article/3005419/tablets/no-apple-wont-make-an-ipad-mac-hybrid-tim-cook-says.html#tk.rss_all) |
