Tim’s overall message to Google was “I imagine us as being able to be deep deep partners; deeply connected where our services end and yours begin and sees no natural impediment to us doing more together. Knows there is a past but doesn’t feel encumbered by it and wants to figure out how we work more deeply together. (and share information better - he stressed this a few times)
That’s it. He wants all the private data while also touting iPhone as a privacy-centric platform. He wants it both ways.
This should be talked about lot more.
