00:00The phone is kind of the perfect device, right?
00:03I was super interested in what you call
00:05the intelligent personal hub.
00:06I actually sat there as you were going through this thing
00:10that does all this stuff.
00:11I'm like, is he talking about glasses?
00:13Are you talking about glasses?
00:15And you basically said, this is your iPhone.
00:17And I thought that was really interesting
00:19and kind of on point, but also almost
00:22signaled like a shift away.
00:23Like everybody's talking about, oh my gosh,
00:25this AI wearable, that AI wearable,
00:27and you're shifting the attention back
00:28to the device you already have in your hand,
00:29or your pocket.
00:30But does that also in any way indicate a shift
00:32in thinking at Apple about where the center
00:35of AI activity should be as opposed to something
00:37that you might wear?
00:39I wouldn't say it's a shift in thinking.
00:41I think it was sort of a kind of presenting our vision
00:44of how we feel about it.
00:45And yeah, there's lots of talk about, you know,
00:48what comes next and wearables and things like that.
00:50And the reality is we make amazing wearables, right?
00:52Apple Watch is an incredible device,
00:54incredible device for AI, AirPods are as well.
00:56But I think the key is the phone is,
00:59is kind of the perfect device, right?
01:02It's powerful, great battery life.
01:04It has a display.
01:04People want displays.
01:05You want to see information.
01:06Yeah, I'll see you next time.
