Apple chief design officer Jony Ive and Apple CEO Tim Cook inspect the new iPhone XR during an Apple special event at the Steve Jobs Theatre on September 12, 2018 in Cupertino, California.Tim Cook's company may have made your phone or laptop — but the Apple CEO says he's worried about the amount of time you're probably spending on it.

"If you're scrolling mindlessly or letting yourself being spun up on negativity, I think this is bad," Cook, 61, told CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin at the"I think it's bad for your mental health. I think it's bad for the people around you." Due partially to the iPhone, roughly half of the world's total population — 3.8 billion people, out of 7.9 billion — now uses some form of social media, according to a 2020 report from social media management platform Hootsuite. On average, the report noted, those users spend at least two hours and 24 minutes per day scrolling through apps like Instagram and TikTok.
