Video: in an interview, Tim Cook talks about discrimination

In recent weeks, debates on civil rights have once again been at the forefront following the death of George Floyd, a forty-six-year-old Minneapolitan who was handcuffed and then died during an arrest by the police. Two autopsies concluded that it was a homicide, reminiscent of the multiple cases ofpolice violencewhich Amnesty International in France is investigating. A social issue about which Tim Cook has already spokenin a letter published this month.

His message also seems to have had a particular resonance with the American media, and in particular the Viacom group, whose BET (Black Entertainment Television) channel targets an African-American audience particularly concerned by this tragic news. The polar opposite of Fox, which tends to support the comments of Donald Trump, known for his more ambivalent positions on racism. This time, however, it isCBS, from the same conglomerate, who chose to speak with the boss of the iPhone.

Nothing about WWDC

This was to be expected: no details on the potential announcements expected at theWorldwide Developer Conferencewas not leaked during this discussion. You will therefore have to connect to the livestream from 7 p.m. - in France - to hope to find out more, if indeed new products are actually launched on occasion. Among the most probable hypotheses, we find for examplethe arrival of watchOS 7 and the watch that goes with itor evena revamped iMac.

Rather, Tim Cook chose here to discuss the social responsibility of his company worth more than 1,500 billion dollars, but also the progress to be made in the face ofdiscriminationswhich still continue to affect many minorities. Among them, we also find the LGBT community, which surely remembers the coming out of the leader inBloomberg Businessweekin 2014.
