I’m not one of those people who sits at dinner on their iPhone all night. I’m either working or I’m not.

Curtis Stone

I swear Kim Kardashian’s first marriage lasted longer than some of my iPhone chargers. Lilly Singh

Stay the course and keep building an integrated Apple ecosystem of iPhone + iPod + iMac + iTunes + App Store + Apple TV. No one has yet demonstrated they understand how to create an ‘experience-based ecosystem’ as well as Apple. John Sculley

If you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know?

I’ve tried plenty of telephones. I tried to get into the Samsung Galaxy and the Blackberry, but the iPhone is just too easy to use. The camera takes clear pictures and the phone itself looks great. Like all Apple products, it kind of just makes sense. Avicii
I had been doing MP3 players and handheld computers since 1990-1991, and so they sought me out because of my experience. And about 18 generations of iPod and three generations of iPhone later, I decided to leave Apple. Tony Fadell

I’m not a gadget freak, so to say. I own an iPhone, which I love, and would sorely love to upgrade to MacBook Air from my current MacBook Pro.

Obviously anything that accessorizes or enhances the iPhone is always pretty cool. Harry Shum, Jr.
But I’ve become completely obsessed with taking photos on my iPhone. I have like 400 apps. Debra Messing

First of all, the American people are inundated with advertisement after advertisement of you buy, buy, buy. You’ve got to have the latest thing.

I have to pay attention to work on the weekends and always have my iPhone with me, but I don’t mind. Jill Abramson

I put together an iPhone app called TrimIt and released that in July 2011.

They thought it was a U.K. company with a team. Nick D’Aloisio
Before even getting to David Cameron’s father here’s a starting-point question about the Panama Papers: how is the desire to break the anonymity of Panama banking secrecy different from the FBI’s interest in breaking Apple’s encryption of the iPhone? Michael Wolff

When you care about people’s happiness and productivity, you give them what brings out the best in them and their creativity. And if you give them a choice, they’ll say, ‘I want an iPhone,’ or ‘I want a Mac.’ We think we can win a lot of corporate decisions at that level. Tim Cook
The iPhone calendar isn’t bad, but it isn’t great, either. It only offers a day view and a month view – it doesn’t have a week view, which drives me crazy. Susan Orlean
