Good morning.

We were up till three o'clock last night finishing this advertising up, and I want to show it to you in a minute, see what you think of it.

I've been back about eight to ten weeks, and we've been working really hard.

And what we're trying to do is not something really highfalutin.

We're trying to get back to the basics.

We're trying to get back to the basics of great products, great marketing, and great distribution.

And I think that Apple has pockets of greatness, but in some ways has drifted away from doing the basics really well.

So we started with the product line.

We looked at the product roadmap going out for a few years, and we said a lot of this doesn't make sense, and it's way too much stuff, and there's not enough focus.

And so we actually got rid of 70 percent of the stuff on the product roadmap.

I mean, I couldn't even figure out the damn product line after a few weeks.

I kept saying, well, what is this model?

How does this fit?

And I started talking to customers, and they couldn't figure it out either.

And so you're going to see the product line get much simpler

and you're going to see the product line get much better.

And there's some new stuff coming out that's incredibly nice.

In addition, we've been able to focus a lot more on the 30% of the gems

and add some new stuff in that is going to take us in some whole new directions.

So we are incredibly excited about the products.

And I think we're really thinking differently about the kinds of products we have to build.

And the engineering team is incredibly excited.

I mean, I came out of the meeting with people

that had just gotten their projects canceled and they were three feet off the ground with excitement because they finally understood

where in the heck we were going.

And they were really excited about the strategy.

In the same way, we, I think, have not been as – we have not kept up with innovations in our distribution.

Well, I'll give you an example.

I'm sure it was talked about this morning, but, you know, we've got anywhere from two to three months of inventory in our manufacturing supplier pipeline

and about an equal amount in our distribution channel pipeline.

So we're having to make guesses four, five, six months in advance about what the customer wants, and we're not smart enough to do that.

I don't think Einstein is smart enough to do that.

So what we're going to do is get really simple

and start taking inventory out of those pipelines

so we can let the customer tell us what they want and we can respond to it super fast.

And you're going to see us be doing a lot of things like

that today is just the first of many things we're going to be doing with you.

So we're going to be not only, I think, catching up to where the best of the best are in distribution,

but we're going to actually be innovating and be breaking some new ground, I think, in the coming several months.

And I'm pretty excited about that as well in the distribution manufacturing side of things.

And that gets us to the marketing side of things.

To me, marketing is about values.

This is a very complicated world.

It's a very noisy world.

And we're not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us.

no company is and

so we have to be really clear on what we want

them to know about us now Apple fortunately is one of

the half a dozen best brands in the whole world right

up there with Nike Disney Coke Sony it is one of

the greats of the greats not just in this country

but all around the globe and but but

But even a great brand needs investment and caring if it's going to retain its relevance and vitality.

And the Apple brand has clearly suffered from neglect in this area in the last few years.

And we need to bring it back.

The way to do that is not to talk about speeds and feeds.

It's not to talk about MIPS and megahertz.

It's not to talk about why we're better than Windows.

The dairy industry tried for 20 years to convince you that milk was good for you.

It's a lie, but they tried anyway.

And the sales were going like this.

And then they tried Got Milk, and the sales are going like this.

Got Milk doesn't even talk about the product.

Matter of fact, it focuses on the absence of the product.

But the best example of all, and one One of the greatest jobs of marketing in the universe has ever seen is Nike.

Remember, Nike sells a commodity.

They sell shoes.

And yet when you think of Nike, you feel something different than a shoe company.

In their ads, as you know, they don't ever talk about the products.

They don't ever tell you about their air soles and why they're better than Reebok's air soles.

What does Nike do in their advertising?

They honor great athletes and they honor great athletics.

who they are, that's what they are about.

Apple spends a fortune on advertising.

You'd never know it.

So when I got here, Apple just fired their agency.

They were doing a competition with 23 agencies that, you know, four years from now would have picked one.

And we blew that up and we hired Shaiate, the ad agency

that I was fortunate enough to work with years ago we

created some award-winning work including the the commercial voted the best ad ever made 1984 by advertising professionals

and we started working about eight weeks ago

and what we the question we asked was our customers want to know who is Apple

and what is it that we stand for where do we fit in this world

and what we're about isn't making boxes for people to get their jobs done,

although we do that well.

We do that better than almost anybody in some cases.

But Apple's about something more than that.

Apple at the core, its core value is that we believe

that people with passion can

that people with passion can change the world for the better that's what we believe

and we've had the opportunity to work with people like

that we've had an opportunity work with people like you with

software developers with customers who have done it in some big

and some small ways and we believe

that in this world people can change it for the better

and that those people that are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that actually do And

so what we're going to do in our first brand marketing campaign in several years is to get back to

that core value.

100

A lot of things have changed.

101

The market's a totally different place than it was a decade ago. And Apple's totally different.

102

And Apple's place in it is totally different.

103

And believe me, the products and the distribution strategy and the manufacturing are totally different.

104

And we understand that.

105

But values and core values, those things shouldn't change.

106

The things that Apple believed in at its core are the same things that Apple really stands for today.

107

And so we wanted to find a way to communicate this.

108

And what we have is something that I am very moved by.

109

It honors those people who have changed the world.

110

Some of them are living.

111

some of them are not but the ones

112

that aren't as you'll see you know that if they'd ever used a computer it would have been a Mac

113

the theme of the campaign is is think difference is the people honoring the people who think different

114

and who move this world forward and it's

115

it is what we are about it touches the soul of this company

116

so I'm gonna go ahead and roll it and I hope that you feel the same way about it I do

117

years to the crazy ones misfits rebels troublemakers the round pegs in the square holes The ones who see things differently.

118

They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo.

119

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

120

But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things.

121

They push the human race forward.

122

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

123

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

124

So that puts it out there.

125

That puts us out there saying, this is who we are.

126

This is what we stand for.

127

I don't know.

128

Do you like it?

129

Yeah.

130

Yeah.

131

Good.

132

I know that some people will criticize us for,

133

you know, not talking about all those things about why we have better plug and play.

134

But we've got to let people know who Apple is and why it's still relevant in this world.

135

And I think this will do a pretty good job.

136

We are breaking this campaign this Sunday in a rather poetic way.

137

The wonderful world of Disney is restarting on ABC.

138

And the first thing they're showing this Sunday night, I believe it's at 7 o'clock, is the network premiere of Toy Story.

139

And we're going to have two 60-second spots.

140

This commercial will run twice, once in the first hour and once in the second hour.

141

We are then going to break some newspaper ads in the Journal, the Times, the Mercury, the Examiner,

142

USA Today, really stating the manifesto, the words.

143

And then I'm going to show you what's going to break within two weeks.

144

We've got some phenomenal prints.

145

This ad will run throughout most of October on television.

146

And we're breaking some phenomenal print within a few weeks, mostly on the back covers of magazines, some on the inside.

147

We've got some incredible billboards.

148

And we're even painting some giant walls in about five or six major cities.

149

Before I show you this stuff, I want to let you know that in this day and age, to use any of these people,

150

whether alive or dead, you need major permission from either themselves if they're alive, or their estates, representatives if they're dead.

151

Almost all of these people have never appeared in an advertisement before and never would.

152

until we asked them.

153

I mean, I got permission from Yoko Ono a few days ago to use John.

154

And it's been an incredibly moving experience for me that these people,

155

both living and dead, their estates, have felt so strongly about Apple that they were willing to let us do this.

156

I don't think there is another company on earth that could have done this campaign.

157

And that, to me, is something very special.

158

So I've got a videotape here of some of the print and the outdoor stuff.

159

And if we could just run that, I want you to get a feel for that.

160

This is an example of a print ad you might see on the back of the magazine.

161

This was an image owned by Time Warner that they've never released before.

162

Martha Graham,

163

Thomas Edison, Alfred Hitchcock.

164

You can't see it on the video, but these images are just stunning.

165

Look at this, outdoor Muhammad Ali.

166

All this stuff is going up in the next two weeks.

167

You know who that is?

168

Rosa Parks.

169

There will be five buses running around five major cities like that.

170

So that's what we're doing.

171

And we've been working pretty hard to wrap this up the last few days and nights, but it's the best work I've seen in an awful long time.

172

I think it's the best work Apple's ever done.

173

Now advertising is not everything and we've got some incredibly exciting product announcements coming up soon.

174

Some incredibly exciting things in general are going to be happening over the next 90 to 120 days.

175

And I really deeply appreciate all of the commitment that's in this room

176

and with the people not in this room to turning this company around.

177

This company's absolutely going to turn around.

178

As a matter of fact, I think the question now is not can we turn around Apple.

179

I think that's the booby prize.

180

I think it's can we make Apple really great again.

181

So thank you for your time.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
