Wozniak’s Opinions on the iPhone
![]()
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, was interviewed by LaptopMag.com about various topics surrounding Apple.
Wozniak is specifically asked about what his opinions are on the iPhone and Wozniak feels that the iPhone should be “more like a computer” and Apple should allow anyone to develop applications for it. When mentioning jailbreaking the iPhone for 3rd party applications, he says:
“Apple has a right to lock the iPhone. But I am really for the unlockers, the rebels trying to make it free. I’d really like it to be open to new applications. I’d like to install some nice games. Why in the world can I not install a ringtone that I’ve made? How would that hurt AT&T’s network? Here is Steve Jobs sending letters to the record companies saying they should provide music that’s unprotected, but here he is taking the opposite approach with the iPhone. I don’t know to what extent AT&T is involved in the thinking and direction.”
Although I have not managed to hack my iPhone in anyway, I, as well as many others (I’m sure) couldn’t agree any more with Wozniak.
