Apple Event: Tim Cook wears colors of Ukraine flag, seemingly sending silent support

Apple CEO Tim Cook has yet to actually say anything about Russia's unprovoked war on Ukraine during the tech giant's big Peek Performance Apple Event on Tuesday. But he almost certainly sent a message with his clothing choice.

Cook wore a blue sweater and an Apple Watch with a bright yellow band. Those are, of course, the colors of Ukraine's national flag and a way folks have shown support for the country. Twitter user @niravmistry noted the clothing choice on Twitter.
