In an online interview released on Thursday, Apple CEO Tim Cook attributed many recent Apple device features to Chinese consumers' feedback, demonstrating just how important the country's market has become to one of the world's most recognizable tech brands.
"So much of our lives are on the smartphone and there's nowhere that's truer than in China," Cook told tech influencer He Shijie, better known as He Tongxue .
A senior student at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, He started uploading self-made tech videos on streaming platform Bilibili in 2017 and now has almost 7 million followers on the site.
He made his name in 2019 with a video showing how fast 5G is in real life —which is still his most popular video with 25 million views on Bilibili —and has since been one of the top tech influencers in China.
In the 18-minute chat, Cook pointed to the influence of Chinese consumers on features such as specific keyboards, QR Code scanners, and Night Mode, all of which were standard smartphone features in China before Apple introduced them.
In addition to making comments to a hugely important consumer base for Apple, Cook also discussed a classic question that young people often wonder about: how to find that dream job.
In answering this, Cook cited Steve Jobs by saying, "You'll know it when you find it. And if you haven't found it yet, you should keep looking."
