This is Tim Cook in for the first time since taking office to shareholders meeting "Facebook is the enemy is a friend" the problem of answer.
When the remarks to involve mobile and social areas of two giants, it is hard to no more lenovo: apple and Facebook, it seems to be a good combination.
Back to look at the past, apple and Facebook in the two different areas of giant companies with very few.
Ping + Facebook, was very beautiful
Apple and Facebook in 2010 had a "abortion cooperation".
Launch music social network Ping, apple is in the field of social network into an important step, but since September 1, 2010 after launch, in addition to "48 hours break through 1 million users" after, no greater achievement.
Be worth what carry is, all the signs are that, the integration of Facebook was is in the release of Ping plan.
According to BusinessInsider reports, in a from September 1, 2010 apple Keynote the screenshot, we can quite clearly see "Facebook" message. The other, on Facebook appeared for the application of named Ping, but the page now have failed.
The Kara Swisher AllThingsD later confirmed to the jobs, jobs said apple does once and Facebook about cooperation things, but because of "Facebook put forward the apple can't accept the terms", the cooperation in the integration of the official released iTunes 10 Ping is temporarily cut off before.
In this a "cooperation" on, apple strong up. No Facebook user groups, just rely on the user's friends Email list, Ping is hard to development; And no Ping, the Facebook effect for at that time to is not big.
IOS + Facebook, looks very beautiful
Suddenly a year and a half in the past, apple has become the world's largest company, leaders have also become and Steve jobs style different Tim Cook, and Facebook is in the eve of the IPO.
So the two full-fledged company, will again in a different way to intersection? The answer is yes, only, both roles will have slightly different.
The BusinessInsider Jay Yarow think that now speaking, Facebook significantly more need to apple.
Facebook's mission is "to make the world more open, more link", and apple is "creating great products".
To create the great products, apple doesn't need the help of Facebook. However, Facebook but need help apple it "make the world more link".
In the mobile market, Facebook's next stop, "I said to mobile market for Facebook on the importance of development. And in the mobile market, in addition to rival Google + closely related to Android system, iOS is perhaps Facebook have to hang straw.
Facebook spokesman also had a statement:
IOS for to Facebook is a very important platform. We have very good with the apple of the relationship.
And Tim Cook said "I often think we should have more cooperation" also alluding the intent of the cooperation.
The iOS + Twitter after, iOS + Facebook is the combination of something to look forward to. But different, this time, Facebook needs to be more apple.
