Steve Wozniak thinks Windows Phone is the prettiest thing ever
Even though Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak will always and forever have an iPhone as his primary phone, he’s never shy about expressing his opinion on other phone systems. Back in January, he visited Google and talked about how he wishes his iPhone was as cool as the latest Android phones. Now he’s got a Nokia Lumia 900 and thinks Windows Phone is the prettiest, most intuitive phone interface he’s ever seen, even better than Android 4.
“I’m kind of shocked. Every screen is much more beautiful than the same apps on Android and iPhone.”
He’s so impressed by it, in fact, that he defines the experience of using a Windows Phone as feeling like you’re “with a friend not a tool.” In his mind, navigating Android is a much more cumbersome experience, to the point where he sees “no contest” between that OS and Windows Phone — Microsoft’s software is much more to his liking. He even goes on to say that iOS is “more awkward” in its interactions than the Lumia phone he’s presently using, though his favorite smartphone still remains the iPhone. The deficit of third-party apps for WP is something he acknowledges as holding that platform back.
