A spontaneous street encounter between Apple CEO Tim Cook and internet sensation Miles Moretti has gone viral, captivating millions on social media.

During the brief but energetic exchange, Cook recommended the content creator to visit Türkiye, sparking excitement across the tech and travel worlds.

A billionaire CEO meets a billion-view creator

Moretti, a digital creator whose videos have amassed over 10 billion views, was filming new content when he bumped into Apple’s billionaire CEO in an unplanned moment.

Armed with only his iPhone, Moretti took the opportunity to share the secret behind his viral success and even offered Cook an exclusive preview of his upcoming project.

“I take this (his phone) everywhere I go; I do all my filming on it,” Moretti explained. “I just found a person on the street, a random average joe and they use my phone and I teach them how to film within five minutes.”

Moretti asked Cook, “Where do you think I should go next?” Without missing a beat, Tim Cook replied, “Türkiye.”

Türkiye makes global headlines with one word

Cook’s answer immediately made waves online, trending among Apple fans and tech enthusiasts in Türkiye. The unexpected endorsement fueled speculation that Moretti may film his next major project in the country, bringing international attention to its creative scene and cultural heritage.

‘It’s not an Apple mic!’

The most talked-about moment, however, came with a burst of humor. When Moretti offered to mic up Tim Cook, he joked, “It’s not an Apple mic—that’s why there are issues!”

The line drew laughter and showed the light-hearted, unfiltered nature of their conversation.
