Apple COO Tim Cook Defends AT&T
Apple COO Tim Cook says AT&T isn't so bad. Plus he's personally review AT&T's plans to fix its network.
With rumors swirling that Apple this week may announce the end of its exclusive contract with AT&T, Apple COO Tim Cook defended the much-vilified company.
During Apple’s Q1 financial conference call, Cook acknowledged AT&T had “issues” in some cities, but had worked out a plan to fix them. The plan was drawn with Apple’s approval and cooperation.
Said Cook:
“AT&T is a great partner. You know, we’ve been working with them since before the first iPhone. In the vast majority of locations, they provide a great experience. But there have been issues in some cities. They have acknowledged this and developed a plan to make things better and we have personally reviewed them.”
Cook said he has “very high confidence” that AT&T’s issues can be resolved.
