Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak Disappointed With iPhone

by Evan Shamoon on March 5, 2008 at 05:07 PM




Woz with the hateration! After spending several months with Apple's wonderphone, Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak has fallen decidedly out of love with the device.

"To tell you the truth I was really disappointed when the iPhone was introduced ... half the phones in the AT&T store at the time were 3G phones," Wozniak said at a press conference, according to a Sydney Morning Herald report. "I was shocked because Apple is bringing the full Internet [to mobiles] -- full Web pages with pictures and everything -- and it's not 3G and I knew that would be a speed detriment."

While he was one of the people who waited on line to get his iPhone on day one (several of them, in fact), Wozniak has grown increasingly annoyed. He isn't buying Apple's claims that the lack of 3G has to do with battery problems.

"I don't understand why it would be a battery issue -- I get as much life on my 3G phones as I get on my non-3G phones," he said.

Whatever the case, we're kinda with him on this one. Bring on the 3G iPhone, Apple!
