When you think of Apple's founders, who comes to mind?
Most of them should say Jobs, but the brother will also think of Wozniak.
Although his old man has long left the apple, everyone pays attention to him and is still inseparable from the apple.
In recent years, the deepest impression of the machine brother is his various complaints and criticisms of Apple products.
Apple's founder criticized Apple products, isn't this topic coming?
As for how many times, it must be unclear, in the memory of the brother, he should be counted as the "number one fruit black".
The brother briefly introduced him to the friends who did not know him.
Wozniak, who can also be called Woz, met Steve Jobs when he was in college.
Then the Apple I computer was built, and the two founded Apple.
After that, he developed the Apple II and embarked on the peak of his life, and Apple also successfully listed on the market by the big sale of this product.
In short, Woz was Apple's real tech boss in the early days, or a solid No. 1 employee, while Jobs was No. 2.
But he left while Apple was getting bigger.
His own opinion is that he does not like business management, or prefers engineering.
Don't look at him now is not a big company executive, in the technology circle, the status is still quite high.
Of course, Woz's comments on Apple products are also very significant.
Especially for the emerging digital devices such as the iPhone.
When the original iPhone was released, Woz went to the Apple Store at 4 a.m. to queue up, and did not rely on the identity of Apple's founder to take special channels.

However, he was a little upset with the rule of restricting the purchase of two units, because he wanted to change his 3 children to iPhones.
At that time, Woz's evaluation of the iPhone was really high.
He said the iPhone was one of the first "human" phones that were truly designed for everyday use.
The subsequent iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S upgrades were not large, and Woz did not publish much comment.
Just silently chasing new purchases, but also caused a bit of a queue storm.

At this stage, Woz is still very fond of the iPhone.
For example, he once said in an interview that his favorite tech digital gadget is Nexus One.
Later, I was afraid of misunderstanding, and clarified that this love was limited to large toys, and my favorite mobile phone was the iPhone.
In addition, Woz also praised Jobs, "You can always skip market research and know what is right." ”
The machine brother did not deny that the iPhone did a good job at that time.
There is another small thing, the old fruit fans may remember, the white version of the iPhone 4 that year crazy jump tickets.
While everyone was waiting for news, Woz modified a white iPhone 4 himself.
Because the modification was not perfect, he also carried another black iPhone 4 with him.

What about the "fruit black" that says good? Don't worry, friends, this is not coming right away.
After the release of the iPhone 5, Woz's attitude changed a little subtly.
It's not that he's changed, it's just that Apple has changed.
For the iPhone 5, Woz's assessment can be summed up in two words — arrogance.
The main problem is the screen size, which is really not big compared to the Android flagship next door.
He thinks the new iPhone should use a bigger screen.
He also said that the so-called suitable one-handed operation is a self-deceptive statement.
Although in the end Woz was really fragrant, the brother felt that he was not wrong.
Later, Apple launched the larger screen iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
But Woz still can't bear to complain, Apple should have launched a large-screen mobile phone 3 years ago.
On the iPhone 7, the extremely advanced 3.5mm headphone jack was eliminated.
This matter must also not escape Woz's criticism, his reason is very simple, Bluetooth sound quality is poor.
By the way, the machine brother noticed that he also cue a Type-C interface at that time.
High-end mobile phones should use type-C interface, however, Apple has not used it today...
Another major design change in the iPhone design in recent years is Liu Haiping, and the fans should have no opinion.
Of course, Woz will not let it go, he directly said that he will not buy the iPhone X after the first time after the release, can not stand the bang screen.
For Woz, who queued up to buy every new iPhone product, it was the most cruel word.
It is estimated that Cook felt that things were a little bad and personally sent an iPhone X to Woz.
It took Woz a while and started "kind of like it", but eventually fired.
This time the spray is the power button, there are clicks, double clicks, long presses and other excessive operation methods, contrary to Apple's consistent concise logic.
The déjà vu scene happened again this year.
For the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, Woz said he couldn't tell the difference between the two.
The hardware has not changed much, and the software can be used on older models.
He said he was still using the iPhone 8, which was quite satisfactory, although it was not much different from the iPhone 7 and iPhone 6.
Not only do you carry the goods in reverse, but you also have to mock a wave of old models for not innovating.
Woz's remarks, even across the ocean, have landed on Weibo's hot search in China.
Chinese netizens said that this is indeed the case.
Even if many young people don't know Woz, they call it true.
In addition to the endless complaints about the iPhone, Woz has also expressed his views on Other Apple products and technologies.
Let's talk about it casually.
For example, Siri, which is well known to fans, was one of its first die-hard fans.
Later, Apple bought it and turned it into a system function of iOS, but Woz felt that Siri had become stupid.
Originally asked what are the 5 largest lakes in California, Siri replied without any pressure, and now she will only push the property sales information on the lakeside to him.
It's even funnier about the iPad, which Cook just said in an interview that the iPad will be the terminator of laptops.
Woz immediately retorted, saying he prefers to use a laptop because it is more adaptable.
In addition, he also criticized the Apple Watch for being too highly priced and engaged in a set of sales strategies for luxury goods.
On the surface, over the years Woz evolved from a "fruit powder" to a "fruit black".
In his position in the tech world, in today's Internet age, it seems understandable to say that he is the "number one fruit black".
However, the machine brother always feels that Woz's spit on Apple over the years is more like a kind of "hate iron is not steel".
Woz is still a very pure engineer at the bone, and the ideas and strategies of the commercial company are actually somewhat incompatible.
In the early years of the development of the Apple II, there were differences with Jobs because of the number of expansion slots.
However, the machine brother has to say but.
Woz's comments on Apple products are not only critical, but often positive and negative.
It's just that these criticisms and complaints are more likely to poke at everyone's point and say what they want to say for everyone.
Anyone can criticize Apple's products, but no one can be as vocal as Woz, after all, he is the founder.
In fact, Woz is still an Apple employee, only receiving a salary of $50 a week, and his opinion is well-intentioned.
Although these comments may sound unpleasant to fruit fans, the machine brother still prefers to understand it as a kind of spur to apples.
Some reasonable suggestions may really promote improvements, but I don't know how long it will take.
