'Cool' Apple can never become 'uncool', claims co-founder Wozniak

Sydney, May 12 (ANI): Tech giant Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak has said that firm's technology is so good it would never become a victim of its own success by becoming uncool.

"Apple a victim of its own success? You could have asked that at any point along the way," News.com.au quoted Wozniak, as saying.

"Of course there's always a chance - and there's also a chance that it will become twice as successful because of its success," he added.

According to the report, when asked if the once-cool image of Apple as an innovative technological outsider was at risk of becoming too mainstream, Wozniak stressed the brand was strong enough to carry it through any trend.

"I've never seen the Apple brand tarnished in all the time, even when the company was doing poorly. That's what's holding it up - it's like a savings account," the report quoted him, as saying.

"So I don't think that question can ever say, 'Oh yeah, we're just going to get so used to it because everybody has Apple', No, because it's so good," he added.

Wozniak, who co-founded Apple in his garage with late Steve Jobs in 1976, said he did not believe Google's Android mobile phone operating system was better than Apple's iOS, but there were features on it he admired.

"They do some things that the iPhone doesn't do. I just like to admire things that are good," he said.

"(When I say) a certain thing is better on the Android phone, it means I want it on my iPhone!" he added. (ANI)
