Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, commented on the company's sinking stock price and says he believes the company is working on things that will 'surprise and shock us all', reports TechCrunch.
Speaking at the Login Technology Conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, Woz said:
"[Apple's]stock price is a little low right now. Over time I’ve seen Apple go up or down 2x over a few months. It’s very disappointing because if you look at the amount of cash that Apples holds that cash translates to one to two hundred dollars per share of stock just in cash form. So the expectations are a little lower even than they expect."
"But where are the profits of the whole industry though? They are still with Apple and profits are all that really matter in the long run. Apple’s business model tends to be new products, even products that didn’t exist before and doing well out of them and not re-making the same thing, as eventually that just gets a little bit stale. So I would guess that Apple is very well prepared, and working on new things that are going to surprise and shock us all. And I honestly don’t know [what]."
Woz also noted that he doesn't ask insiders what is ahead.
"I gave up trying to guess [what Apple would do next] a long time ago. There can be rumors which are false, or something gets cancelled. I never ask key insiders at Apple what they are about to come out with."

Until they redesign the god awful ui they have nothing, no matter what u say every iPhone is exactly the same as the one before except they keep saying its the fastest ever blah blah... Of course it's the fastest ever because in reality they've done f all to slow it down!
My 3GS is still humming on ios 6.1.3 the only thing different is I haven't got an extra row of icons....

Why does something like this have to be turned into a battle of name calling? It seems a lot of people here need to learn basic education and respect towards each other. It's so easy to fall in the name-calling trap...the difficult bit is to refrain from doing so and have a decent, healthy debate.

apple is dead out of ideas, never had any except copying other companies inventions, innovations, designs into one device. The guy obviously panicked over his options value
