On Wednesday morning, Apple CEO Tim Cook sat down for a rare and surprisingly candid interview with CNBC.
Cook appeared live from inside of China to hype Apple's new deal with China Mobile, a partnership that AAPL investors hope will add billions to Apple's bottom line in the coming years.
The deal with China Mobile represents a "watershed" moment, Cook said this morning, two days ahead of the iPhone's launch on the world's largest mobile operator. "It's a huge announcement...we're incredibly impressed with them, we have deep respect for them," Cook explained. "We see this as bringing the world's best smartphone to the very largest and now the fastest network in China."
Cook said that the company sold more iPhones last quarter in Greater China than ever before, and sees this deal as "continuing momentum" that has been building up over the last three or four years. "It really is a key market for us," he said.
