Tim Cook on his Apple legacy: ‘I hope people say I was a good and decent man’

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, is entering his final weeks in the role, with John Ternus set to assume the position on September 1. During an interview with CBS News, Cook discussed his legacy as Apple's CEO. CBS News' Jo Ling Kent asked, "As you look back on your time as CEO, in a word, what have you stood for?" Cook responded, "You're asking a legacy question, and it's a good question.

But in my view, your legacy is described by others, not yourself. And so I hope that people say I was a good and decent man. And if they say that at the end of the day, I feel like I have achieved something."

Additionally, in the interview, Apple's Chief Operating Officer, Sabih Khan, addressed recent price increases on Apple's products, including the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other items. Khan stated, "There's a component, memory, that is rising at an unprecedented rate in a very short amount of time. And we're not immune to that. And we're working with our supply chain to, you know, find a way out of this." Clips of the interview can be viewed on CBS News' website and via the CBS News app.
