San Francisco: Steve Wozniak, Apple's cofounder, isn't impressed by the company's recently launched iPhone 13, saying he "can't tell the difference" between his iPhone 13 and its predecessor, the iPhone 12.
"The software that's in it applies to older iPhones, I presume and that's the good part," Wozniak told Yahoo News. He said he also couldn't tell the difference between the new Apple Watch and its previous iteration. The new iPhone 13 has been applauded for having a longer battery life, a better camera, and a stronger glass than the iPhone 12.
The latest generation of iPhones, which includes the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, was released in September. In many ways, the iPhone 13 series is indistinguishable from the iPhone 12.
"In technology it's like you always want to kind of keep up with the newest and sometimes you are five years behind, seven years behind, you know, and it's still working for you and it's just like that's where the sales come from," Wozniak added.
Wozniak noted that he has continued to stick to an iPhone 8 - a phone from 2017 with just a 4.7-inch display (via Yahoo Finance). This he says feels the same as the iPhone 7 as well as iPhone 6 to him.
"I would rather wait and watch that one. I'm happy with my iPhone 8 " which is the same as the iPhone 7, which is the same as the iPhone 6, to me," he noted.
He had made similar comments back in 2017 when the iPhone X hit the market saying that he would not be purchasing the device on the first day of its release.
However, in 2019 he said the Apple Watch was his favourite piece of technology in the world right now.
