Fragmentation has failed to stop Android storming up the sales charts, with the OS grabbing almost 20% more market share than iOS in the US during 3Q, according to Canalys.
Wozniak issued a damning verdict on Nokia, claiming the firm has the “mark of a previous generation” hanging over it, and that it should launch a fresh, youth-oriented, brand.
The Finnish vendor was hard hit by the launch of the iPhone in 2007, which Wozniak said was around two years ahead of the market in terms of screen technology, battery life and software.
The iPhone was actually Apple’s second attempt at producing a smartphone. A previous unit developed with an unnamed Japanese vendor in 2004 was ditched because Apple didn’t think it would revolutionize the market.
