Apple’s iPhone 6 is three years too late: Steve Wozniak slams firm for not competing with Samsung's larger screens sooner
The claims were made by Apple’s co-founder at a conference in Texas
He said Apple may have lost market share to its rivals by not making larger phones sooner
Mr Wozniak also admitted he hasn’t been impressed with smartwatches
He dubbed Apple’s model a ‘luxury fitness band’
But added it is more distinctive than others available on the market
Apple was mocked following the launch of its large-screen iPhone 6 and 6 Plus phones, with some critics accusing the firm of playing catch-up with the likes of Samsung and HTC.
And now the firm’s own co-founder Steve Wozniak appears to have sided with these critics, saying Apple should have released a larger, phablet-style much sooner.
If it had, continued Mr Wozniak in an interview with CNNMoney, the tech giant would have been able to steal a larger portion of the smartphone market from its rivals over the past three years.
The 64-year-old said: ‘Tech is like a song. You can get all the details from someone else, but you're not sure you like it until you hear it for yourself.’
