At the D8 conference Steve Jobs had a sit down to talk some Apple. A number of the questions that fans and critics have wanted answers to were finally addressed. Apple’s stance on Flash, the Foxconn suicides, and the missing iPhone prototype were a few of the topics that were covered.
Below we have rounded up the top clips from the interview for you to see Jobs’ thoughts for yourself.
Flash and Adobe:
“We didn’t set out to have a war over Flash. We made a technical decision. And it wasn’t until the iPad that Adobe raised a stink. They came after us….That’s why I wrote “Thoughts on Flash.”
Foxconn:
“Foxconn is not a sweatshop. They’ve got restaurants and swimming pools….For a factory, it’s a pretty nice factory.”
Gizmodo and the lost iPhone:
“To make a wireless product work well, you have to test it. And one of our employees was carrying one and there’s a debate about whether it was left in a bar or stolen….And the person who found it decided to sell it…and it turned out this person plugged it into his roommate’s computer and that roommate called the police.”
Google and Android:
“They decided to compete with us and got more and more serious.”
AT&T:
“They’re doing pretty good in some ways and in others they could do better.”
