   Hehhehheh... Tim Cook just said, in effect, two important service things:   
   1. He believes the Apple customer is incredibly stupid, in essence, and,   
         
   2. He will (perhaps) CHARGE to transfer data from old to new iPhones   
        
      
   Yup.   
   Just to transfer your own data, he hinted, from an old phone, to a new   
   phone (as if that was even slightly difficult), is (perhaps) gonna cost   
   you! (perhaps).   
      
   Either way, this is the fourth or fifth time in that interview that Tim   
   Cook has said, in effect, he believes the Apple customer is incredibly   
   stupid.   
   o Tim Cook just literally said his customer is unfathomably stupid!   
      
      
   Tim Cook:   
   "We are also putting a lot of focus on the service side. Our stores are   
   unbelievable at service. People are very worried about transferring their   
   data. They're very worried that with this new phone there will be something   
   they lost in that process .So we're putting a lot of emphasis on doing that   
   and doing that well."   
      
    Note that this discussion is about the "revenue shortfall", so, keeping   
   that in context, it "appears" he is intimating he will CHARGE the customer   
   to move their data for them from the old phone to the new phone.   
      
   Maybe not - becuase the _entire_ interview was filled with subterfuge,   
   innuendo, utter falsities, and denials of the obvious ... but still... he   
   said EXACTLY what I just wrote he said at time point 411 seconds.   
       
      
   What do _you_ make of that statement that Tim Cook just said when asked how   
   Apple was going to solve their revenue shortfall?
