Apple CEO Tim Cook said that now the need for a personal computer (PC) has disappeared. Cvoe opinion he expressed in an interview with The Telegraph.
«I believe that if you look at the PC, then the question arises: why do you still need to buy it? No, really, why do you? “- I wondered Cook.
According to him, to replace PCs and notebooks come powerful tablets such as iPad Pro. When people start to use them, the head of Apple, “they come to the conclusion that they no longer need anything else except the phone».

He acknowledged that the issue now interchangeable products leads, in his words, to “cannibalism”. However, “as long as we are” cannibals “for themselves, everything is fine,” he said.
The general director of Apple also said that the company is thinking about “creating applications, or anything else” in the health sector, recalling now Apple Watch allows you to keep track of some biometric user processes.
