Has Apple lost its mojo? The rise of Android (and Samsung), as well as mis-steps like Apple Maps, has provoked plenty of criticism of Apple and its CEO Tim Cook in recent months. Cook, however, remains bullish about Apple’s ability to innovate. “We have some incredible plans that we’ve been working on for a while. We have incredible ideas,” he said at yesterday’s D11 conference in the US. “The same culture and largely the same people that brought you the iPhone, the iPad mini, the iPod and some who brought you the Mac, the same culture is there. I think we have several more game changers in us.” Of course, Cook was gnomic on what those game changers will be: TV “continues to be an area of great interest for us”, while wearable technology “is incredibly interesting: it could be a profound area”. Meanwhile, Cook said Apple has acquired nine companies this year, although it only announces details “when we have to”, and hinted that Apple would consider launching some of its iOS services on Android. “Would Apple port an app from iOS to Android? We have no religious issue. If we thought it made sense to do that, we would do that. You can take the same philosophy and apply it to iCloud. Would it make sense for iCloud? It doesn’t today.” Don’t hold your breath for iRadio on Android, then.
