One of the Facebook users posted this picture with the caption “Tim Cook spotted at Samsung Event🤣🤣🤣”
Here is the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above post and found it to be False.
Doing a Reverse Image Search, the NM team found the same picture without the Galaxy AI text on X formerly Twitter dated April 16, 2022, with the caption “Tim Cook at Coachella vibing to harry styles… why is seeing him have a personal life so disturbing🫠.” It informs that the picture is from the Coachella event that happened in 2022.
We also conducted a keyword search and discovered another post, X, where Tim Cook is purportedly seen in the same attire attending the Coachella Festival in 2022.
Variety, and Business Insider, have also reported that Cook attended Styles’ show at Coachella.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming to show Tim Cook at Samsung Galaxy AI Event, is false.
