Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak thinks the company should have made a larger iPhone years ago, reports CNNMoney.
"Apple could have had a much bigger share of the smartphone market if it had a larger-screen iPhone for the past three years," Wozniak told CNNMoney from Capital One's new Innovation Center in Plano, Texas. "It could have competed better with Samsung."
The latest IDC numbers have Samsung with 24% share of the smartphone market in Q3. That's double Apple's 12%. Many believe that Apple could have better competed with Android if it would have released a larger phone a few years earlier.
Wozniak told the CNN that while he is a fan of Apple he also likes to try new gadgets.
"Tech is like a song," Wozniak said. "You can get all the details from someone else, but you're not sure you like it until you hear it for yourself."
Despite initial excitement over smart watches, Woz says that after trying a few models he became negative on the idea.
"I kept saying that I'd like to have a smartphone on my wrist, so I bought a few smartwatches when they first came out." Wozniak said. "I got rid of them so quick. I got real negative on smartwatches."
Woz describes the Apple Watch as a "luxury fitness band", but he's still going to give it a try.
