In the past, Steve Wozniak was skeptical about the news of the Apple Watch, even going as far as dismissing it as a “luxury fitness band,” stating that he had gotten “real negative on smartwatches.” All of this thoughts and opinions seemed to have changed over the past few months though. In a recent interview with BBC, Wozniak touches upon various topics including his thoughts on the Apple Watch. He acknowledged the following regarding the matter:
I’ve had bad experience with smartwatches so farThe thing is, Apple makes products more fun than anyone else. If you look at the display it’s almost like a little piece of art … It’s going to be so special. Everyone’s going to notice it, just like you do nowadays when you walk around — ‘You’ve got an iPhone, you’ve got an iPhone, you’ve got an iPhone.’ A lot of people, especially in hip [campus] areas, they’re going to be saying, ‘You’ve got the right watch, you’ve got the same watch as me.' Apple has this thing. They’ve made so many good products that everyone who owns Apple products will buy [the Apple Watch] and that means millions of people will buy this watch from the start. That helps get a critical mass going.
He continued by speculating that he wishes Apple would work on Siri for better voice recognition and shared his thoughts on Seth Rogen playing him in the upcoming Steve Jobs movie. The interview he had was brief but worth the watch for any of you who are interested in Woz or the topic itself. If you want to watch it, hit the source link below!
