Mark Zuckerberg is the current CEO of Facebook and in an interview awarded to the famous magazine Time Magazine talks about Tim Cook, his views on an advertising-supported company, and the price of Apple products.
According to the CEO Facebook, Tim Cook considers that a company that supports its existence only on the basis of advertisements is ridiculous, but also that Apple products are sold at an overpriced price by the American company. The first statement is based on a statement given by Tim Cook in September, he then argued that when a company offers you a free service, you as a user are the product and not a customer who uses the service.
A frustration I have is that a lot of people increasingly seem to equate an advertising business model with somehow being out of alignment with your customers," Zuckerberg says. "I think it's the most ridiculous concept. What, you think because you're paying Apple that you're somehow in alignment with them? If you were in alignment with them, then they'd make their products a lot cheaper!"
Moving on, Zuckerberg criticizes the business model of the Apple company, selling products at very high prices, he saying that Facebook was thought of as a company that would be accessible to anyone. In the case of Apple, the mission is completely different, the products being thought to be accessible to a much smaller number of people, and this has brought so much success to the Apple company over the years and will bring them just as much in the future .
Our mission is to connect every person in the world. You don't do that by having a service people pay for.
The differences of opinion between the missions of the two company presidents are normal and there will certainly be more serious ones in the future, but few will be surprised by what they will say.
