With users of the new Apple iPhone 5 reporting errors galore in the handset's Maps app - which Apple has brought on in place of the Google Maps app it had been using for the earlier iPhones -, Apple CEO Tim Cook has recently extended an apology for the company's embarrassing misstep on the new mobile maps.

During the course of a live Tuesday evening interview at the tenth annual D: All Things Digital conference (D10) in Palos Verdes, California, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that preparations are underway at Apple to launch some "incredible" new products.

With the Apple CEO Tim Cook approaching his one-year mark at the helm of affairs at the company, his stewardship of the technology giant - after taking over the reins from his legendary predecessor, the late Steve Jobs, in August-end last year - has started to come into focus.

During Apple CEO Tim Cook’s recent visit to China, a Beijing-based environmental organization – the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs - brought up the rather sensitive issue pertaining to the working conditions in the company’s supplier factories in China, and urged the company to pay a closer attention to the condition of the workers.

Within hours of Apple CEO Tim Cook's March 19 announcement at a conference call, during which he said that the sales of the new iPad had touched "record" numbers, Apple revealed that nearly 3 million units of the newly-released tablet had been sold over the weekend.

With the Apple stock recently having touched $600 a share, and the investors urging the company to pay back some money to the shareholders, Apple has scheduled a conference call today, to decide the fate of its staggering cash pile of $98 billion.

According to a recent report in The Verge, Apple's annual shareholders meeting on Thursday witnessed CEO Tim Cook responding to wide-ranging questions, including whether his company considered the popular social network Facebook a "friend" or "foe."
