Saying that Apple’s CEO uses Apple products is a safe bet that anyone could make blindly. Therefore, without Tim Cook having to open his mouth, we can know that He always has an iPhone in his pocket and it will be at the cutting edge of technology.
However, It would be wrong to think that he uses the best iPhone of the moment. As part of the last WWDC 2024, the top executive of the Californian firm gave several interviews and in one of them he revealed (and showed) which one he is wearing. And no, it is not the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Tim Cook owns the (almost) best iPhone of the moment
Good old Tim Cook has probably been testing iPhone 16 prototypes for months. He probably already has a final model like the one they ordered into production for this month. However, from the outside, his personal phone is an iPhone 15 Pro. Yes, just “Pro”, without “Max” after it.
It’s not that this is something extremely rare. It would be the case if he suddenly said that he uses a Samsung or that he doesn’t use a smartphone at all. However, this is hard to imagine given that In this generation, there are more than substantial differences between the “Pro” and the “Pro Max”.. Not only the battery and the size, but especially the applauded tetaprism lens of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has a 5x optical zoom that surpasses the 3x of the “single” telephoto lens of the iPhone 15 Pro.
On the back of natural titanium and in the “caseless” movement
As for the color, Tim admits it was a difficult decision, but he opted for the “natural titanium” color. It is one of the new colors launched by this generation and that, despite its dark beige appearance, really varies depending on the light, but always keeping in mind the color of sand or, as is the case, titanium.
We don’t know if Tim Cook wears his iPhone naked every day, but in this interview as well as in other interviews, he always shows iPhone without case. And this is curious to say the least given that Apple itself sells many cases in different colors.
Of course, even if he doesn’t publicly acknowledge it, Cook has reasons for not opting for a cover this year. And it’s not just the iPhone 15 Pro’s lightweight (just 146.6 grams), but Apple’s new thin woven cases to replace leather have left such a bad taste in the mouth that they’ve even stopped production.
