“Apple CEO Tim Cook is set to appear on CNBC’s Mad Money program tonight following Apple’s Q2 earnings earlier this month where the company reported declines across the board,” Jordan Kahn reports for 9to5Mac.
“In a short clip of the upcoming interview aired today, Cook notes: ‘…We just had a … actually an incredible quarter by absolute standards. $50 billion + in revenues and $10 billion in profits. To put that in perspective, the $10 billion is more than any other company makes. It’s was a pretty good quarter, but not up to the street’s expectations, clearly,'” Kahn reports.
“Cook will appear on Mad Money tonight with host Jim Cramer at 6PM ET,” Kahn reports. “The network’s press release for the interview notes topics of conversation will include ‘Apple’s future in China, Cook’s outlook on innovation, what’s next for iPhone, the Apple Watch, growth of Apple services and whether there are any potential acquisitions coming, among others.'”

MacDailyNews Take: Booyah!
Apple CEO Cook to appear in person in an attempt to try to talk some sense into the market.
Good luck, Tim, there’s a first time for everything!
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Readers “Fred Mertz” and “Dan K.” for the heads up.]
Cant wait. Next time ship that health centric product Tim.
Panic mode hey Tim – hahaha, finally figured out the street will give you no room for error, unlike Amazon – get some new hardware to market- like maybe a MacBook Pro as an example !!
Tim Cook abuses “incredible” to the point of annoyance.
Maybe not his fault, Jobs was worse with superlatives, but it’s reached the point that I discount whatever Tim says when he overpraises it.
Poor Tim Cook, whatever he’s doing or saying Wall Street takes them with a grain of salt.
and there lies the danger…..
over promising and under delivering
even if only by a smidgen on either end of the equation, it can have an outsized impact upon ones credibility.
and it isn’t like he hasn’t done this before…..
so wall street figures “fool me once…. fool me twice…”
now we take what you say with “lots wife”… which is to say a pillar of salt rather than just a pinch.
Maybe you should care to be a little more informed before opening you mouth: “over promising and under delivering”!!?? Do you not know what apple predicted for this quarter?? They delivered JUST what they said they would so keep that hole shut!
dear grouchy,
had you paid closer attention to the context of my observation, you would have noted that i was in no way referring to the results of the latest quarter…. but to cooks practice of talking up unspecified great and innovative products that are in the production line, which when they finally do arrive after a fairly long wait, while good, are not quite as wonderful as he would have had us believe.
hence the over promise and under deliver comment – which i further qualified as slightly rather than, say, egregious.
it is what he does when he is in a bit of a corner. he promises great things to come, to take the pressure off, just saying… and i am not the only one to have noticed that particular habit of his.
so , please don’t leap to conclusions that are destined to collapse under their own weight.
the good doctor
Whoever thought that things couldn’t be worse? Tim Cook appearing on Jim Cramer to tell him that Apple is still relevant? What a shame! He could not get another network than CNBC that crushes Apple 24/7? No, Tim , customers are not loving your products. They are starting to hate you for your greed. High margins, products that are of lower quality than the competition. I think the analysts who watched Tim must be having the last laugh. Expect more downgrades. This guy is clueless and Apple is finally doomed.
Must be satire.
Tim Cook engaged in damage control while he shows no capacity for leading Apple. Who cares what Tim Cook says when what he does and doesn’t do is more important. Gawd, Tim Cook is such an worthless CEO. Please, Tim, ignore your pride and think of Apple first; and just leave.
