Steve Wozniak criticizes Tim Cook for delayed launch new iPhones

Washington: Apple`s co-founder Steve Wozniak has criticized the company and Tim Cook for delaying the launch of large-screen iPhones in the market by three years.

According to Washington Times, Wozniak said Samsung`s 24 percent share of the smartphone market wouldn`t dwarf Apple`s 12 percent if it had responded more quickly to consumers` changing tastes.

Wozniak, who left Apple in 1987, told CNN that Apple could have had a much bigger share of the smartphone market if it had a larger-screen iPhone for the past three years.

He added that the company would have competed better with Samsung had it released large-screen phones earlier.
