Quotes
“A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and
maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a
different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting
great products in front of customers, they would
continue to open their wallets.”
“An iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator...
these are NOT three separate devices! And we are
calling it iPhone! Today Apple is going to reinvent the
phone.”
“But Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to
say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but
in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this
business.”
