During the first part of the visit, Cook<\/a> highlighted the newly announced iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air. He reportedly described the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro as having a \u201ckiller colour\u201d and presented the iPhone Air, noting it offered \u201cpro performance in that smaller package.\u201d This reflects comments made by Apple executives, including Cook, in a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, in which they suggested the devices were designed to give consumers a choice between two capable options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As per the video shared by CNBC, Cook also discussed the AirPods\u2019 new<\/a> live translation feature, which allows users to translate conversations in real time. When asked about the iPhone Air\u2019s battery life, he said it had been \u201cengineered from the inside out\u201d and explained that its eSIM-only design made it possible to expand the battery into areas previously occupied by a physical SIM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Later, Cook and Cramer were joined by Corning CEO<\/a> Wendell Weeks for a further discussion on Apple\u2019s partnership with the company. The visit underscored the ongoing collaboration between Apple and Corning in developing advanced materials for the company\u2019s devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nPartnership with Corning<\/h2>\n
