With being the man that runs one of the world’s largest and more successful tech companies, it is not surprising that universities like the George Washington University have asked Apple’s CEO Tim Cook to give a graduation commencement speech. As expected Cook dived into a variety of different topics during his speech, one of them being about fighting for equality.
However it also seems that Cook found some time to throw some jabs at Android users which was probably made in jest and to highlight the ongoing competition between iOS and Android users. According to Cook, he said, “Before I begin today they asked me to make a standard announcement about silencing your phones. Those of you with an iPhone, just place it in silent mode. If you don’t have an iPhone, please pass it to the center aisle. Apple has a world-class recycling program.”
This isn’t the first time that Cook has tossed some barbs at Android, but then again both sides haven’t really held back against one another. A couple of years ago Google’s Eric Schmidt even released a guide on how to convert from iOS to Android. Users of either platform have also engaged in pretty intense debate over the years, although recently it seems that one debate led to a roommate stabbing the other.
