SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Um let's both read this. This is really sweet. Okay, I know Apple is a trillion dollar company.

SPEAKER_00

Horrible people. Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Yep. But Tim Cook wrote this about 50 years, and I I liked it. Um Tim Apple, our dear friend. Fifty years ago, in a small garage, a big idea was born. Apple was founded on the simple notion that technology should be personal. And that belief, radical at the time, changed everything. April 1st marks 50 years of Apple, from the first Apple computer to the Mac, from iPod to iPhone, iPad to Apple Watch, and AirPods. As well as the services we use every day, kind of an Apple commercial. The App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, iCloud, and Apple TV. We've spent five decades rethinking what's possible and putting powerful tools into people's hands. Through every breakthrough, one idea has guided us that the world is moved forward by people who do you know their motto?

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_01

Think different. I don't really know it either, but I was reminded by this. Uh I'll do one more paragraph and then pass it to you. Okay. That's because progress always begins with someone an inventor or scientist, a student or storyteller who imagines a better way, a new idea, a different path. That spirit has guided Apple from the start, but it was it has never belonged to us alone. Here you go, Grace.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you, way.

SPEAKER_01

Take my iPhone.

SPEAKER_00

Mike, what? This is a commercial. Every invention we bring into the world is just the beginning of a story. The most meaningful chapters are written by all of you. And M-dash. The people who Sorry. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01

AI generated.

SPEAKER_00

The people who use our technology to work, learn, dream, and discover. You've made breakthroughs and launched businesses. You've cheered up loved ones in the hospital and captured your toddler's first steps. You've run marathons, written books, and rekindled friendships. You've chased your curiosity, found your new favorite song, and shared stories that connect us all. In your hands, the tools we make have improved lives and sometimes even saved them. And that is what inspires us. Not what technology can do alone, but everything you can do with it. At Apple, we are more focused on building tomorrow than remembering yesterday. But we couldn't let this milestone pass without thanking the millions of people who make Apple what it is today. Our incredible teams around the world, our developer community, and every customer who has joined us on this journey. Your ideas inspire our work, your trust drives us to do better, your stories remind us of all we can accomplish when we think different. If you've taught us anything, it's that the people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. So here's to the crazy ones the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs and the square holes, the ones who see things different. Here's to you.

SPEAKER_01

So do you know what that last part is from? That's an old Apple com or uh yeah, computer commercial, I think.

SPEAKER_00

Oh. So a little Easter egg.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

There were three M dashes.

SPEAKER_01

I know. I uh I hope he just does that.

SPEAKER_00

Some people do just use them.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I'm just skeptical of them.

SPEAKER_01

Well, how do you feel?

SPEAKER_00

Uh I feel proud to own an iPhone.

SPEAKER_01

I know, it was kind of cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I know it's like a big commercial, but I will say I don't use Apple Maps. I use Google Maps.

SPEAKER_01

I know you do. You're old-fashioned. Because that's how they started. Okay, should we should we get out of here?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we need our question for the road. Oh. Oh!

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah.
