在周二的D: All Things Digital大会的开场采访中，库克称赞了耐克(Nike Inc.)的"燃料腕带"(FuelBand)这样的设备。"燃料腕带"是一款可戴在手腕上测量运动量的产品。他说，这样可穿戴的产品可能成为科技行业中的一个广阔领域。

Mr. Cook opened with a barrage of statisticsregarding the performance and user satisfaction of Apple's products like the iPhone and iPad, and also hinted that the company has more offerings in TV up its sleeve.
库克花大部分时间回应了与公司最近面临的挑战有关的问题，问题涉及苹果的纳税政策以及来自三星(Samsung Electronics Co.)等对手激烈竞争。但是与这些问题相比，更重要的一个问题是，苹果能否继续保持最近几年使其大获成功的产品创新步伐。
