Eddy Cue: Apple has ‘best product pipeline’ in 25 years coming up

Walt Mossberg, Kara Swisher, Eddy Cue, and Jimmy Iovine

Apple’s senior vice president for Internet software and services Eddy Cue isn’t playing coy with his recent statement. The iCloud and iTunes chief said the company is introducing its best products later this year in the past 25 years. “Later this year, we’ve got the best product pipeline that I’ve seen in my 25 years at Apple,” Cue said.  He made this statement at the Code Conference in California, where he appeared on stage with Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine. As we all know, Beats has just been bought by Apple.

It has been a relatively quiet year of refreshes and product updates for Apple so far, so we can’t wait to see what products Cue is talking about. We should probably start seeing some of these at Apple’s upcoming developer conference. Stay tuned for our live coverage from WWDC next week!
