Had a good time catching up with Apple CEO Tim Cook today. It’s been almost 4 years since we met, so we had a lively exchange on how the tech scene has changed since.
Apple has long ties with Singapore, right from the early days of the company. Printed circuit boards for the Apple IIe were made here, as were the candy-coloured iMacs (I wonder how many people still remember these!). While Apple no longer manufactures devices here, many Singaporeans work in Apple locally and around the world, and many more are fans of their gadgets.
Heard that Tim had a makan session with some of our local photographers at Tiong Bahru Market. Hope he gets to experience more of our island during his visit! – LHL
