Unsurprisingly, Apple hasn't yet publicly touted any plans for the metaverse , a term typically used to describe virtual reality (VR) platforms where people can interact, work, shop and play games using immersive technology like a virtual reality headset. "I always think it's important that people understand what something is," the Apple CEO told Dutch publication Bright on Friday. Instead, he's pushed his company's plans around augmented reality (AR), where virtual elements and images are superimposed onto the real world. "I think AR is a profound technology that will affect everything," Cook said. "Zoom out to the future and look back, you'll wonder how you led your life without augmented reality," Cook said.

For instance, the company typically seeks out employees with four shared skills: the ability to collaborate, creativity, curiosity and expertise. "It's been a very good formula for us," he said, noting those traits also contribute to an ambitious, yet supportive workplace culture.
