Apple CEO Tim Cook Teases 'Great Innovation' in Product Pipeline on CNBC's Mad Money Following a relatively weak earnings report last week that saw the first year-over-year revenue decline for Apple since 2003, Tim Cook made an appearance on CNBC's "Mad Money" with Jim Cramer to talk about the company. In part one of the interview, Cook covered a number of topics while teasing "great innovation" in Apple's pipeline that has yet to see the light of day.

In other iPhone news, Apple lost a trademark battle in China that will allow a leather accessory manufacturer to continue using the "iPhone" name on its products (although Apple is appealing the decision to the Supreme Court in China). Privacy rights were also in the news again after it was revealed that a court earlier this year issued a warrant requiring a suspect to provide her fingerprint to unlock a Touch ID-protected iPhone.
