As Apple continues to grow under Tim Cook's leadership, reports this year suggest that the company may be planning its future and the brand's direction after Cook. So when he gets the chance to speak to the media, they naturally ask him about his plans and whether he plans to leave the tech giant any time soon. Cook recently spoke with Wired and finally got the chance to make his case to the nation. Mr Cook began his response by explaining that he had been asked more questions about resignation recently than in the past. But to the million-dollar question, Mr. Cook answered more clearly and was honest about his future with the company. Being here is a unique privilege. And I do that until the voice in my head says, ‘It’s time,’ and then I focus on the next chapter.”

When the Apple CEO was asked this question, he became visibly emotional and talked about how his life merged with the company in 1998, and I said what he would do if that day came to this big part of my adult life And I like it. It's not that Cook didn't have a life before Apple. In fact, he worked for top companies like Compaq, Intelligent Electronics and even IBM, where he stayed for more than 12 years. It's clear that Apple has plans for Cook's successor, and the current boss will play a big role in ensuring the right person is at the helm of the billion-dollar tech giant.
