Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has never shied
away from expressing his thoughts on internet policy, phone design, or the Steve Jobs
biopic. Now, in comments given at the Businessweek Best
Brands Awards and published atGerman magazine WirtschaftsWoche, he says Apple is in danger
of losing out with smartphones. "Currently, we are in my opinion somewhat
behind with features in the smartphone business," he said (translated from
German), in response to a question about Apple's record sales and profits.
While he praises Apple and its ability to
garner loyal fans, he says the company needs to work to maintain it.
"Others have caught up. Samsung is a great competitor. But precisely
because they are currently making great products." Wozniak maintains a
pretty minimal connection to Apple, and he certainly won't be directly
influencing future projects. His current comments echo previous ones: among
other things, he's said before that though he still uses an iPhone, its
interactions are "more awkward" than those on
Windows Phone, though he also said Windows Phone's design beat
Android's by a wide margin.
