Uhhhhh... no.
Having worked with Apple in Japan directly (not just engineering related work, but having worked with former Apple Japan execs), I can tell you that the relationships they hold with companies over there are valued internally. It's part of the culture, for better or for worse.
I can't state for certain whether it matters in the context of Cook's Tweet, but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest either. Don't be so quick to cast it aside. ;P
- saagarjha 7y agoOf course they are, I’m not saying they’re not. But that doesn’t mean Tim Cook doesn’t have a reason behind his tweets. (Note that I’m not saying this is a bad thing; it’s just that if they have anything to do with Apple they always align with something that the company would like to comment on, be it education or the environment or immigration policy.)
- jjeaff 7y agoI see no reason a tweet like that couldn't be a mutually beneficial one. Seiko gets the shout-out and in exchange apple gets a better deal and also telegraphs a little tidbit that shows thought and quality that go into Apple products.
