Tim Cook is generous to charity, last time Apple donated two and a half million dollars to victims of Hurricane Sandy

Last week, the US version of iTunes Store A new feature has been added that allows you to donate between $5 and $200 to Hurricane Sandy victims through regular iTunes payments. One hundred percent of this amount Apple will be donated to the Red Cross in the US. Since iTunes Store has more than 400 registered users with active credit cards worldwide, this is an advertisement for the Red Cross that they will not immediately receive. However, there have been opinions from some people who have complained that Apple from his position, he will not support Hurricane Sandy by himself.

Today, the company officially released a document stating that Apple donated 2,5 million dollars to the Red Cross in the USA, which is intended for people from affected areas. Apple so he took another charitable step that the company under Steve Jobs' leadership was not so accustomed to. Steve Jobs he was of the opinion that Apple by being one of the largest tax payers in the US, they are already sufficiently fulfilling their obligations to society. On the other hand, however Apple has already supported Tsunami victims in the past, for example, through iTunes Store, where customers could purchase photos from the affected areas for one dollar as part of the 3/11 project, which Apple without taking the standard 30% of the sale, he transferred it to the account of a charitable company. Steve Jobs then he also sent an open letter that even made the front page apple.com for the team of employeesancin Japan, which was hit by a strong earthquake that also damaged the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
