Apple CEO Tim Cook Promises to Advocate for Immigration Changes with US Lawmakers

  • Today, Tim Cook, Apple CEO, pledged at an all‑hands meeting to lobby U.S. lawmakers on immigration and address employee fears about deportation and separation.
  • Following national outrage over recent Minneapolis enforcement deaths, Cook expanded on last week’s memo saying he was heartbroken, amid employee criticism of his earlier response.
  • Pointing to workforce composition, the CEO said Apple’s strength comes from hiring globally and pledged personal advocacy, noting `hundreds of DACA workers and many team members on visas`.

  • Beyond immigration, Cook flagged new AI categories and emphasised succession, saying, "I spend a lot of time thinking about who's in the room five years from now, 10 years from now," and previewed Apple Health+ in iOS 27.
