Apple CEO Tim Cook, whose company manufactures iPhones, has said he does not want to see children using phones too much.
He made the remark when the journalist said his son was obsessed with his phone.
Cook told GQ magazine: Kids are born digital, theyre digital kids now.
And it is, I think, really important to set some hard rails around it. We make technology to empower people to be able to do things they couldnt do, to create things they couldnt create, to learn things they couldnt learn, he said.
And I mean, thats really what drives us. We dont want people using our phones too much. Were not incentivized for that. We dont want that. We provide tools so people dont do that, Cook said.
We try to get people tools in order to help them put the phone down, Cook told GQ magazine.
He said: Because my philosophy is, if youre looking at the phone more than youre looking in somebodys eyes, youre doing the wrong thing. So we do things like Screen Time. I dont know about you, but I pretty religiously look at my report.
