        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Apple CEO Tim Cook delivered a touching\ncomment to mark the iPhone maker\u2019s 50th anniversary. He reminisced about\nhis predecessor Steve Jobs and offered much praise.<\/p>\n<p>Cook has been in Apple\u2019s leadership position since 2011, following\nJobs\u2019 death in the same year. In commemorating the company\u2019s\nhalf-century milestone, Cook remains in mourning over Jobs\u2019 passing and\nexplained the founder\u2019s important principles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think about him often, and in the past few months, especially\nwhile marking the 50th anniversary, I\u2019ve thought about him even more.\nYou think about the things he believed in. He believed in simple things,\nnot complex ones. He believed in collaboration; if you bring together a\nsmall group of people, the work of that small group will be far greater\nthan that of any individual among them,\u201d he explained, quoted from\n9to5mac, Thursday (2\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He also referred to Apple as Jobs\u2019 company. Even after stepping down\nas CEO, Jobs would remain Apple\u2019s executive chairman forever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look back, I know someone might say, how could you think like\nthat given the circumstances?\u201d Cook said.<\/p>\n<p>In the 50th anniversary commemoration of Apple, Cook also touched on\nthe company\u2019s relationship with the United States government, now led by\nDonald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>One difference from other presidencies is that, according to Cook,\nthe Trump administration is very accessible.<\/p>\n<p>The 65-year-old man also said the Trump administration allows him to\ncontinue speaking. The voices of the people are ensured to be heard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you can talk to them about your perspective on various things.\nThey might not agree, but you can engage. Your voice can be heard. In\nthe end, you might not be able to convince them,\u201d Cook said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he emphasised Apple\u2019s involvement worldwide, not just in\nthe US, as very important. Even with differing viewpoints, according to\nhim, the only way to understand each other is through communication and\nsitting down together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery country has its own story. Everyone views things differently.\nAnd the only way to understand that is by sitting in front of someone\nand communicating, and engaging,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
