WSJ：People want a bigger screen iPhone. Are you against that?

人們都需要大螢幕的iPhone，針對這一點你怎麼看？

Tim Cook:What we’ve said is that until the technology is ready,
we don’t want to cross that line. That doesn’t say we’ll never do it.
We want to give our customers what’s right in all respects –
not just the size but in the resolution, in the clarity, in the contrast,
in the reliability. There are many different parameters to measure a
display and we care about all those, because we know that’s the
window to the software.

庫克： 我們已經說過的是直到該技術已經準備就緒。我們不想要逾越這一條線。

這並不是說我們永遠不會做。我們想要給我們的使用者全面性的 –不是單純的尺寸大小

，相較之下比較可靠的是在於解析度上。我們所關心的是有許多不同的參數以衡量顯示

螢幕，因為我們知道這是軟體的窗口。


WSJ: Will the smartphone market follow the PC market,
where Apple is a niche player?

智慧型手機市場遵循著PC市場，其中蘋果是個縫隙的角色嗎？

Tim Cook：（以下回答我截取討論安卓像歐盟的部分） Android is like Europe.
Europe was a name that somebody came up with for Americans who didn’t
understand that Europe was a lot of countries that weren’t like U.S. states.
They were very different. Android is many things.
How many people who use a Kindle know that they’re using Android?
And you see what Samsung is doing by putting more and more software on top.
I think it’s night and day. The compare is so off.

庫克：安卓就像是歐盟。有人提到歐盟是個名字，對美國人來說誰不知道歐盟有許多

國家，不像是美國。它們是非常不同的。安卓有許多情況。有多少人知道他們所使用的

Kindle是用安卓？你看三星正在把越來越多的軟體放在上面。

我想這就是日以繼夜的（我不懂庫克說這句的意思是？）比較起來就是這樣。
