Sure Wozniak invented the Apple I and II. But if he never met Jobs his inventions would have stayed a hobby and Apple would have never existed. Woz also didn’t push for an OS with a GUI (which was revolutionary back then) that was Jobs’ idea. Not to mention that Woz had nothing to do with Apple’s comeback. He has been an honorary employee since Jobs was fired. Woz is a genius but people give him way too much credit just like they do with Jobs.
Jobs had no ideas. GUI, like everything else, was stolen from someone else. Apple and Microsoft both got big by stealing ideas.
Is it really stealing if you pay for it?
Xerox PARC had lots of great ideas, and then just never really commercialized any of them.
Woz had great ideas he never would have commercialized without Jobs either, no doubt that that was what he brought to the table: a pricetag.
“Invent” is the wrong term, it’s “design”.
a new idea is an invention, the implementation is a design.
