After confirming a better financial results than expected last night, Tim Cook has devoted a few minutes to Wall Street Journal to talk about the present and the future of Apple. From the U.S. media have focused on this new product category that Tim promised for sometime this year. This is what I replied:

"You need time to do it right. Our goal has never been to be first. [...] In the market you can see a lot of products that have not been well thought out and consequently do not meet well with their duties. We do not focus on many products to spend much time in each of its details, and this facet of Apple will not change. It is the way in which we have operated for years and will continue so. I have a good feeling about what we're going to launch, and is closer than ever" (Tim Cook)

Apple CEO has released a laugh when from Wall Street Journal have asked the exact date of the launch: all know how jealous the Cupertino company with its calendar. But Cook has taken to defend the current product line, which has allowed Apple to grow 15% annually in profits.

And what about all those iTunes accounts? Tim Cook has spoken of them: 

"I think it's an interesting area. We have nearly 800 million iTunes accounts and most of them have credit cards linked. We already have people using TouchID to buy items in our stores, so it's an area of ​​interest to us. And it's an area where no one has found the key yet. I know there are some companies competing in this market, but people still have a wallet in your pocket. And me too, so this probably means that no one has found the key yet" (Tim Cook)

Will Apple found that form of payment that we will begin to look at our wallets and purses as antiquated? When in Cupertino are sure to have something that works.
