Woz Says iPhone Features Are 'Behind'

redletterdave writes "The iPhone may be one of the bestselling smartphones on the planet, but Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak believes Apple's flagship smartphone has fallen behind its competitors, namely those built by Samsung, when it comes to smartphone features. Speaking at Businessweek's Best Brand Awards on Thursday evening, Wozniak said he was proud of how loyal Apple fans were to the iPhone, but also said 'this loyalty is not given,' shortly before denouncing his own company's smartphone. 'Currently we are, in my opinion, somewhat behind with features in the smartphone business,' Wozniak said. 'Others have caught up. Samsung is a big competitor. But precisely because they are currently making great products.'" I prefer Android, but it seems hard to find iPhone users who aren't enthusiastic about it. Whatever kind of phone you prefer, are there features you envy the users of some other variety?

    When he says "behind" he means to say "ass."

    my friends pay money for every little thing I download for free with my android phone. sucks to be them

    So, are you saying it sucks to be rich or that you're just a sucky friend? I mean, if they're paying for all of your downloads they're not exactly "free"...

  3. Google undermining itself! by bogaboga · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    In the meantime, Google undermines itself by bankrolling a product (the Nexus 4) which is so delicate that it will crack with small temperature fluctuations.

    Talk of a formidable but substandard product! I have held off buying this phone for this very reason. Google can surely do better.
