00:00:00.135 --> 00:00:01.335
- What's next for Apple?

2
00:00:01.335 --> 00:00:02.595
For a look at the future of one

3
00:00:02.595 --> 00:00:04.635
of the most important brands
in tech, we're talking

4
00:00:04.635 --> 00:00:07.055
with the CEO of strategy asset managers.

5
00:00:07.055 --> 00:00:08.595
Tom, ick. Tom, welcome.

6
00:00:13.665 --> 00:00:15.415
When you think about Apple five,

7
00:00:15.415 --> 00:00:17.595
10 years out into the future, what kind

8
00:00:17.595 --> 00:00:19.375
of company are we looking at?

9
00:00:19.375 --> 00:00:23.475
- It blows my mind to think
about what we don't know

10
00:00:24.335 --> 00:00:27.735
and where things are going to go.

11
00:00:27.735 --> 00:00:32.635
For example, nobody is
thinking that Apple could be

12
00:00:32.635 --> 00:00:35.115
a huge player in the healthcare industry.

13
00:00:36.065 --> 00:00:39.255
What happens if there is a,

14
00:00:39.255 --> 00:00:42.955
an apple generated device
that helps the heart?

15
00:00:43.805 --> 00:00:48.255
Where do we see things with, with diabetes

16
00:00:48.255 --> 00:00:51.555
or atrial fibrillation?

17
00:00:52.975 --> 00:00:57.165
The, the next generation Apple chip

18
00:00:57.165 --> 00:01:00.615
could be a leader in setting the stage for

19
00:01:00.615 --> 00:01:03.595
the semiconductor industry.

20
00:01:03.595 --> 00:01:07.335
Robotics. Not only that energy,

21
00:01:07.335 --> 00:01:08.995
how about quantum computing?

22
00:01:10.055 --> 00:01:12.655
And when you, when you
combine all those things

23
00:01:12.655 --> 00:01:14.505
and you see Apple,

24
00:01:14.505 --> 00:01:18.215
it's really an open slate.

25
00:01:18.215 --> 00:01:23.215
You could have apple glasses that are not

26
00:01:23.755 --> 00:01:27.055
glasses that you have to
pick up and go like this

27
00:01:27.055 --> 00:01:28.855
or pull off it,

28
00:01:28.855 --> 00:01:33.855
it automatically reads your cornea.

29
00:01:33.935 --> 00:01:36.865
You're reading your menu
without any problem.

30
00:01:36.865 --> 00:01:39.035
Well, what happens if
there's an Apple contact

31
00:01:40.105 --> 00:01:41.155
that does that for you?

32
00:01:42.155 --> 00:01:46.145
I mean, it's, it's really, it
blows your mind to think about

33
00:01:46.145 --> 00:01:47.935
what, what could be next?

34
00:01:47.935 --> 00:01:49.695
And that's just that sector.

35
00:01:49.695 --> 00:01:52.285
And then you look at the gaming industry.

36
00:01:52.285 --> 00:01:54.155
Let's talk about education.

37
00:01:54.155 --> 00:01:55.795
I mean, apple could be replace

38
00:01:57.815 --> 00:02:00.015
the public school system.

39
00:02:00.015 --> 00:02:04.615
It could be, instead of
getting into your Tesla,

40
00:02:04.615 --> 00:02:06.575
I'm gonna go get into my Apple.

41
00:02:06.575 --> 00:02:09.755
- Are these things that you
think Tim Cook is dropping hints

42
00:02:09.755 --> 00:02:13.335
about, or is this just your
sort of pie in the sky thinking

43
00:02:13.335 --> 00:02:14.335
- As an investor?

44
00:02:14.335 --> 00:02:15.855
No, this is my pie in the
sky thinking when you're

45
00:02:15.855 --> 00:02:17.435
around a lot of creativity.

46
00:02:18.915 --> 00:02:20.335
W which my company

47
00:02:20.335 --> 00:02:25.075
and I participate a lot around
an amazing research institute

48
00:02:25.075 --> 00:02:26.515
of Caltech and JPL

49
00:02:26.515 --> 00:02:28.035
and you know,

50
00:02:28.035 --> 00:02:30.235
maybe darpa if you want
to throw that in there.

51
00:02:31.255 --> 00:02:32.495
We, we hear these things

52
00:02:32.495 --> 00:02:37.495
and it starts, it starts to
show you what's not so obvious.

53
00:02:37.505 --> 00:02:39.375
That becomes the obvious.

54
00:02:39.375 --> 00:02:44.215
I'm hoping that, that
Apple continues to be

55
00:02:44.215 --> 00:02:48.035
so innovative that it,
that it goes into the areas

56
00:02:48.035 --> 00:02:49.375
that we just talked about.

57
00:02:49.375 --> 00:02:51.995
The, you know, the Apple
car, for example, which

58
00:02:51.995 --> 00:02:53.515
- They've been talking about for a

59
00:02:53.515 --> 00:02:54.665
really long time at this point.

60
00:02:54.665 --> 00:02:56.815
Like a decade. Yeah. Or more.

61
00:02:56.815 --> 00:02:58.615
Do you think we will ever see an Apple

62
00:02:58.615 --> 00:02:59.615
- Car?

63
00:02:59.615 --> 00:03:00.405
Well, what, what happens
if there's a partnership

64
00:03:00.405 --> 00:03:05.165
between Apple and Tesla
or Apple and GM and

65
00:03:06.345 --> 00:03:09.275
or Apple and Ferrari for that matter.

66
00:03:09.275 --> 00:03:12.155
They, they've got the balance
sheet to buy these companies.

67
00:03:12.155 --> 00:03:15.605
They do. And then if you look
in the healthcare industry,

68
00:03:16.565 --> 00:03:20.165
computer scientists and
software engineers are able to,

69
00:03:21.065 --> 00:03:23.345
you know, benefit in
the healthcare industry,

70
00:03:23.345 --> 00:03:27.705
but compliment it using an
Apple product for a surgeon to,

71
00:03:27.705 --> 00:03:32.065
to perform robotic surgeries
more efficiently than they are

72
00:03:32.065 --> 00:03:36.165
now from a different location
with greater clarity,

73
00:03:37.745 --> 00:03:41.845
you know, with megapixels
and being able to go and down

74
00:03:41.845 --> 00:03:45.065
and look what the, the human
eye can't actually see.

75
00:03:45.065 --> 00:03:48.355
That's the innovation that
Apple will contribute to

76
00:03:48.355 --> 00:03:50.875
down the road 3, 5, 10 years out.

77
00:03:50.875 --> 00:03:52.285
It's very exciting. Perfect

78
00:03:52.285 --> 00:03:53.285
- Place to leave it.

79
00:03:53.285 --> 00:03:54.475
Tom. Thanks for being with us.

80
00:03:54.475 --> 00:03:56.225
- Yeah, thanks Heather.
I appreciate being here

81
00:03:56.225 --> 00:03:57.225
- And thanks for watching.
