The pandemic has affected the way we all work and interact with family and friends, and Apple CEO Tim Cook is no exception. In a new interview with People, Cook talks about working from home, and he also shared his hopes for the future and a bit of information about his routine in a video.
Cook spoke to People on the importance of personal interaction:
My instinct says that it is still very important for us to be physically in touch with each other because collaboration is not always a planned activity. Innovation is not always a planned activity. It is bumping into each other throughout the day and presenting an idea that you just had. And you really need to be together to do that.
Although the Apple CEO wants to get back to the office as soon as possible, he reflects on all the things the company has accomplished in the past year. It also launched a $ 100 million racial justice initiative and promised to be carbon neutral by 2030.
You look back and the shutdown occurred in mid-March. Post that, we had a huge and prolific product period, [introducing] the first iPhone 5G. We introduced the M1 chip on the Mac. These are big, big achievements. We did it all while reinventing the way we were working.
In a “quick question with Tim Cook” video, the Apple CEO shared a little bit about his daily routine. For example, Cook says he wakes up at 4 am, the first app he opens is Apple News and he can’t live without coffee and his iPhone.

Now we have to see if other employees are ready to go back to work at Apple Park and when Apple is going to announce a hybrid model in the coming months. I bet the Underdogs are ready to return.
