Tim Cook reveals his tech habits: I use my phone too much

CNN:

Tim Cook told CNN’s Laurie Segall, in an exclusive TV interview, that he had a wake-up call about his own tech habits after seeing data from a newly unveiled Apple tool that will provide detailed reports of how much time users spend on the iPhone and iPad.

“I’ve been using it and I have to tell you: I thought I was fairly disciplined about this. And I was wrong,” Cook told Segall after Apple’s annual developer conference Monday.

The feature, called Screen Time, shows users their daily and weekly time spent in each app and also lets them set time limits for specific apps. Users will also be able to see how many notifications they received and how often they picked up the device.

I think “revealed” might be typical hyperbole but I’m definitely looking forward to this feature in iOS 12 if only out of curiosity. I don’t think anything it tells me will actually make me use my phone less.
