    Apple CEO Tim Cook says people should spend more time outside, not on phones: “I don’t want people looking at the smartphone more than they’re looking in someone’s eyes; as if they’re scrolling endlessly. This is not how you want to spend your day. Go out and spend it in nature.”

      It’s very bizarre using an iPhone now because it has all of these things clearly designed to draw your attention to it and keep you hooked into it.

      But then it now also has all of these tools to combat that and encourage you to put it down.

      This is a hint to a coming product that will let you look at the world (glasses? meta/rayban direction?) who knows!

      NOW they say it!

      Now that they’ve built a complete system to trap our attention – manipulate us – divide us – addict us/our kids – to track us – exploit us – steal our data, AND NOW that we feel panicked and unsure of our future, glued to any semblance of news, they want us to put our phones down!

      😡😡😡😡THE ABSOLUTE GALL!!

      I think this is just throwing shade at the Metaverse’s demise rather than his actual ethos, but I agree with it.

      “I just want you to use it to shop, bank, and fill out doctors forms so that I can sell your information!”

      Every single person I know is looking at their smart phone more than they are looking into someone’s eyes

      Alcohol companies telling you to drink responsibly when they know that 80% of their revenue is from the top 10% of the market (addicts)

      Lol, that’s rich. The guy knows millions of people are addicted to their phones because HE DESIGNED THEM TO BE ADDICTIVE. Him saying to spend less time on your phone is like a meth dealer telling his best customer “you know, you should maybe try getting clean.” He knows phones are addictive and is trying to convince people that if he says that, him and his company aren’t the problem.

      Translation: Don’t waste your time using social media. The worst kept secret in Silicon Valley is Zuckerberg hates Apple.

      Bro stop releasing exponentially pricy phones monthly with no technological upgrades and then say this shit.

      Yes, the public has a part to play in this too. But don’t dare.

      I think it might be concerning if I stare into someone’s eyes for that long.
