Randomly: In 2013, Wozniak relied on Apple because of the storage capacity of iPads, which in five years of history and four generations of models doubled everything. He argued for a problematic connection when traveling and in hotels, as a result of which he would then appreciate an iPad with 256GB of storage – which, however, Apple did not offer it even five years after the release of the first (up to 64GB model).
In 2015, he admitted that he did not understand the philosophy behind the expensive Apple Watch (Apple then used a low-density ceramic instead of silver or copper to reduce production costs while maintaining paper purity, reducing the weight of gold in the product value of gold, as it is no longer possible to recover it from a ceramic alloy using conventional methods). He pointed out that watches bought for prestige are usually durable products, not a smart product with a set of applications that will become obsolete in a few years. At the time, he also expressed concern about the growing involvement of AI (artificial intelligence) in everyday life.
A year later, he was disappointed with the launch of the 3.5mm stereo jack and prophesied that the assumption that Bluetooth would be an adequate replacement would lead Apple to problems and dissatisfaction customers. Which was soon confirmed. At first, customers struggled with Apple’s failed production synchronization – an iPhone without a stereo jack was available a quarter earlier than the new generation of headphones. Subsequently, the discussions were filled with user complaints, as the wireless connection between the iPhone and the headset went down during the calls.

In the world of technology, you always try to keep up and[le] Sometimes you are five to seven years behind and from your point of view it works because sales continue. I got a new iPhone; but I really don’t see a difference. The software that is in it, I think, is the same as in the older ones, which in the end may not be bad. — Steve Wozniak |
This is not the first time that Wozniak has pointed out a weakening intergenerational shift, he has been criticized in this direction since the iPhone X era. .
