Tim Cook once again appeared at All Things D’s annual conference, this time to discuss less trivial manners, including Apple’s so-called tax gimmicks, the company’s iPhone business, and lots of other stuff.

On his second appearance at All Things D (D11), Tim Cook touched on numerous burning topics, such as why they won’t sell a cheaper iPhone. Cook said they might, but so far they haven’t been willing to make certain compromises.

On the potential emergence of an iTV, Cooks said Apple has “a grand vision,” and he also shared his take at wearable tech, calling Google Glass “difficult to see.” (I couldn’t resist taking that statement out of context).

The Apple CEO made a bit of an announcement too, confirming that the EPA’s Lisa Jackson has joined the company’s environmental division. Watch the full D11 interview here.
