Full Video of Jeff Williams Interview at Code Conference Now Available
Re/code has shared the full video and transcript of Apple senior vice president of operations Jeff Williams speaking with journalist Walt Mossberg at Code Conference in Ranchos Palos Verdes last month. Williams reflected on a number of topics during the half-hour session, ranging from the Apple Watch and wearable technology to running Apple's supply chain and overseeing the development of ResearchKit.
Williams also fielded questions from the audience about the changing need for physical storage and processing power on an iPhone, health-related monitoring systems on the Apple Watch, entering new product categories such as the car, vertical integration within Apple and the company's responsibility to advancing technologies and bringing jobs to the United States as a U.S. corporation.
Williams
confirmed at the time that native Apple Watch apps will be available this fall through the
WatchOS 2 SDK, providing developers with access to the wrist-worn device's Taptic Engine, Digital Crown, accelerometer, heart rate sensor, speaker and microphone. He also said Apple Watch sales are "fantastic," but neglected to provide any specific sales figures beyond saying "demand divided by supply is greater than one."
