Wozniak has got an opinion on everything and the media says we have to care because he co-founded Apple in 1976.

Really, what makes him an expert on this? Why should we pay attention to what he has to say about it?

[Waterluvian]

Yeah. He's a really interesting guy but he kind of falls into a category shared by John McAfee and Garry Kasparov of "interesting people with a lot to blather about."

Because it gets clicks.

His opinion is as meaningless and irrelevant here as a random person off the street.

I think that's extremely hyperbolic.

If your livelihood depended on an insight into the way Apple's financial systems operate, and your options were Steve Wozniak or the first person you saw on the street in a major city, you'd say "flip a coin?" I didn't think so.

1) Apple Card is backed by Goldman Sachs. So if I was in a major city I would much rather flip a coin and hope to get a GS employee.

2) I used to work at Apple and I know people that were fired for leaking. So I would be very surprised if anyone would be stupid enough to leak the inner workings of the company to Steve. Especially from a financial products team.

Even his opinion on Apple products is largely irrelevant nowadays as he was wrong multiple times.

Jobs left the company for all intents and purposes in the mid 80s. What would he know about Apple’s financial or technical decisions that any outside observer wouldn’t know?
