Woz: Apple got arrogant

In an interview with a South African site, Steve Wozniak does not bring his word-mincer along. He specifically laments that the iPhone 5 screen still isn't big enough.

He pleads for a bigger iPhone 5.

Please read the following while not clutching sharp objects, delicate stuffed toys or your iPhone 5.


I am grateful to Business Insider, which spotted that Woz had given an interview with South African tech site TechCentral.

As usual, Woz oozed sincerity, especially when it comes to iPhone 5.






The interview ranged over many subjects.

Woz reiterated his fondness for Android: "I hated using Windows. I don't have that feeling about Android."

He wishes "that Apple had taken steps to maintain the lion's market share."



Woz fears that "there might be a marketing shortcoming" that explains why Apple's global market share isn't as big as he thinks it ought to be. What sort of shortcoming he didn't make entirely clear.

He also re-emphasized his disdain for the Apple-Samsung patent lawsuit.

The whole interview was highly entertaining. I wonder how many people at Apple might have listened.
