On the one hand we all know what happened when Apple tried to be like Windows and license Mac OS creating Mac clones.
On the other hand if you stop and think for a second. Put aside the we vs them mentality and you might actually see that what Woz said though he may not have intended it that way would either a) up the game for Android, make more money for Apple, push other Android manufacturers (read Samsung), push iOS and create more choice for consumers or more importantly b) Destroy oter Android manufacturing putting all of the power in Apple's hands.
Apple knows design, they know how to make beautiful hardware. They also know how to make a polished OS that works. So what will customers do when the best choice is a beautifully made iPhone or a beautifully made Apple Android device? This would obviously never happen and there are a ton of realistic reasons why. But in the what if world this would not be a negative for Apple. Why doesn't apple like control of anything being in another company's hands. If the company decides to not update the mission critical component Apple pays. So in an eventual market where only Samsung and Apple are the remaining Android manufacturers Apple could just decided that they have gone far enough with Android and stop manufacturing. All the people used to the design and quality are not going to downgrade to whatever is left they would go to iOS. It's an interesting idea just like magical unicorns and other fairy tales that will never happen.

Now he says that he was only joking when he made the comment.

He needs to understand that, while he did some great stuff at Apple back at the beginning, that his 15 minutes of fame are over. He?s trying to hard to hang onto to his fleeting notoriety.
What Apple needs to do is look at kit kat and start adding all the features they have omitted on iOS for years that has made kit kat superior as far as usability. I have both a 5s and a Moto x. Android just makes more sense. Apple makes more sense hardware wise.

I really tried coming up with a respectable reply, but I couldn't stop laughing long enough.

This is one of the most idiotic things I've read on this website in quite some time.
Ok Einsteins. Instead of insulting back. I'll just list them for you.
Android has better keyboard options like swiftkey and swipe option.
Android has a better file system.
Android has widgets that allow u to be more productive, eg: calendar widgets or news.
Android allows Bluetooth file and picture sharing while iOS does not.
Android apps play better with other apps. Eg: from picture gallery, I can send pics to any application in my phone. iOS cannot do that.
Android has a far better notification system. iOS, I find that u can open a notification and it still won't go away from the pull down screen causing u to do double work or reviewing an app notification you already saw previously.
Android has swipe dismiss for each notification line. iOS does not.
Google services play better on android.
Android OS looks more appealing to the end user.
Android has a better system settings menu and it's more customizable if u need to do that..... Or not! It can be as simple as u want or as complex as u want.
So instead of insulting u back, I just listed some of them in 5 minutes. And again, I'm a guy that has both, and still use the iphone as my daily driver! I don't believe in Fanboyism!

Again, all of that is ridiculous and a majority of it is based upon YOUR opinion.....which the last time I checked, isn't a FACT.
Thanks for trying though. I'll give you a C for effort.
