Watch Tim Cook Explain Why He Came Out As Gay

Certain elements of the interview were expected – such as an on-camera demo of the new iPhone 6S and its 3D touch screen LivePhotos and some obligatory cooing at the new Rose Gold colour.

During the show, the host asked Cook for his opinion on two new films focusing on Steve Jobs, neither of which are “that flattering”, according to Colbert.

“I too like to keep my ego in check by having portraits done of myself”, said Colbert.

These kinds of guests have already made the show appointment viewing for me, and I’m looking forward to see what other tech giants he can wrangle to come on. Stephen Colbert can do a million things that only Stephen Colbert can do, and the exciting thing about this whole enterprise is the chance to see him do those things, and none of those things are telling Broke Girl jokes. “He had this uncanny ability to see around the corner and to describe the future”, Cook said.

“I hate this”, Cook added, referring to the movies about Jobs.

Tim Cook had a heartfelt conversation with Stephen Colbert last night, and we’ve gathered some of the highlights and a brief clip for you in today’s Apple Daily.

Cook talked about having a picture of Martin Luther King on his desk with the quote, Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, What are doing for others?

Cook said his coming out was no revelation since many people already knew about his sexuality.

“I think games on late night shows are reflective of the fact that it’s like, well, that person’s doing something that’s on my level”. I had no idea how much I missed this guy-those glasses, that hair, the way he danced.

After speaking glowingly about the new features on the iPhone 6s, Cook was asked about reports that Apple is making a vehicle . Kids were even being disclaimed by their own parents…that I needed to do something.

Colbert asked Cook if his commitment to social responsibility extends to conditions at Apple’s suppliers around world, which have been the focus of criticism. The world might not agree of the “coolness” of his methods, but Tim Cook admits that his methods got the job done.

Cook has been moving out from under the shadow of the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, gaining national and global prominence as he shepherded Apple through a period of record growth.

Cook’s brief appearance, which followed actor Jake Gylllenhaal, ended when Colbert turned the questions over to Siri.

“A year from now, The Late Show could look completely different from what Colbert and team presented in their first five episodes”.
