Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Tim Cook knows how to make a point with the media.

While speaking to a gaggle of journalists Wednesday at the Allen & Co. Sun Valley Conference, a media finance conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, the Apple CEO was quick to tell one reporter sporting a Samsung Mobile device to “get a new phone.”

The Information’s Jessica Lessin grabbed a shot of Cook as he was talking to reporters:

Maybe Cook was hinting at the long-rumored, 4.7-inch iPhone 6, which is expected to be released in September. But at this point, that’s merely speculation.

Cook is among a number of technology and media executives gathered in Sun Valley for the annual conference, where several deals are expected to be made in the coming days.
