Overview
- Cook posted a roughly one-minute FaceTime-style video on X hours before the WWDC keynote that stitches together celebrities offering playful takes on his signature greeting.
- The montage features Lainey Wilson, Jimmy Fallon, Brett Goldstein, Whoopi Goldberg, Harrison Ford, Rhea Seehorn, DJ Zedd and others giving humorous tips on how to say “good morning.”
- Cook appears in the clip, thanks contributors for their ideas, and says he plans to “say it the way I always say it: Good morning,” setting up what reporters expect will be his last public use of the line.
- The WWDC keynote is scheduled to stream at 1 p.m. Eastern on Apple Events, the Apple TV app, and YouTube so viewers can watch Cook’s opening in real time.
- Several outlets report that Cook will step down effective September 1 but that date is based on limited sourcing and has not been widely corroborated in the coverage provided.
