Woz Buys Two White iPhones, Maybe To Talk & Surf At Same Time

By •

woz3

Here’s Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak getting two white iPhone 4s’s set up at the Los Gatos, California, Apple Store today, just eight minutes after the doors opened. Woz was first in line, after having waiting since noon the previous day.

The woman in the center is Woz’s wife, Janet Hill. It’s unknown whether one is his and the other is hers, or whether they’re both for Woz. He’s been known to carry two iPhones so he can surf the Internet on one while talking on the other.

That shiny thing on the table, by the way, is Woz’s bad-ass stainless steel business card.

    Actually Woz said in that video earlier today that he wanted to get one phone for his wife, too…
    And you can talk and surf on one phone at the same time..but that wouldn’t be Woz style…

  2. Jordan Clay says:

    I do remember a story (before the VZW iPhone) that he does carry an AT&T and Verizon phone for any trouble spots.    But you can’t talk and surf on the VZW iPhone

  3. JohnJohnJ says:

    Duh? I would expect AT&T to have activation issues because of huge demand. Demand at VZW and Sprint would be negligible.

    As an old mac user (since 1993 when I was just 8 years old) I’d love to meet Woz someday, I never got a chance to meet Steve Jobs in this life time, and It would suck to not get to meet Woz either, their brand has been a part of my life for many many years and many years to come. 

  5. Rjp9200 says:

    If he was with AT&T instead of Verizon he could talk and surf at the same time on 1 iPhone.

  6. redbirds says:

    Actually in the video you are referring to, Woz said he is buying his wife a verizon 4s from the store.  And you cannot talk and surf simultaneously on Verizon. 

  7. TylerHoj says:

    He has a stainless steel business card! That is badass… :D

  8. prof_peabody says:

    He’s a billionaire with nothing much to do with himself.  He’s known to carry multiple iPhones as well as multiple other phones at the same time.  None of this is news.  

    I feel kind of sorry for him lately.  How pathetic to be trading on decades old fame just to have a life.  

  9. ppanah says:

    What is pathetic is you judging someone like this whom you don’t even know, nor have ever met. He has accomplished more in his life than you ever will in a lifetime. Even if you could live 1000 years ur not gonna have accomplish half of what he has.

  10. Rmoor says:

    cannot activate phone on ATT.  GRRR

  11. Rick Kohlschmidt says:

    WOZ is the man, Steve’s partner….with whom….or without….APPLE may never have existed!!!  Who knows!?!?!?  What would have developed IF they had never MET!  ???   I find it hard to believe that the MAN/WOZ…would have to stand in line for any APPLE product!!!   SAY WHAT!!!???  (Let alone…pay FOR IT!) APPLE should be sending him crates of product after every release…..that’s how I see it anyway!  I will now read the WOZ BIO…..and then devour the new STEVE JOBS BIO to get more insight into this DUO that changed computing FOREVER!!!   

  12. knock knock says:

    zoom in for Woz’s credit card number

  13. Rick Kohlschmidt says:

    Ok….I understand now….after seeing WOZ on many videos…..YES…he does get new phones SENT to his home…..BUT this is an event….AND he likes to get IN LINE!   He’s a COOL guy…..down to earth!

  14. prof_peabody says:

    sez you! :-) 

    (in case you missed the irony, you just did the *exact* thing you criticised me for.)

    Peabody is a douche.

  16. Enough says:

    the girl checking him out is hot.

  17. Alexzzz says:

    Why isn’t apple giving him a free iphone 4s? He is a part of the history of apple after all

  18. Douglas Boldt says:

    Only a Platinum Amex, Woz? Surely you deserve a Centurion Card.. Amex? Hello?

  19. John Ramirez says:

     no shes not, shes fat… im just saying

  20. Bjorn says:

    Peaboy, and you’re still wondering why your life does not make sense!

  21. Brandon Dillon says:

    He may not want to have it on speaker.

  22. Mister Hedge says:

    With the amount of devices Woz totes around, I’m sure he’s absolutely THRILLED with iCloud.

  23. Pakpu says:

    Sorry prof, dont judge the book by its cover.

  24. YujinNY says:

    Wozniak said he wants to experience it like the rest of the people…sure he can call and have some but he loves the trill of waiting in line.

  25. Paul Walker says:

    On a lighter note, that happens to be my little sister in the blue shirt selling those iPhones to Woz. Hs was very lucky to experience customer service from the sweetest person that exists on this planet.  Go Sis!

  26. God says:

    Your sister is hot

  27. Rjp9200 says:

    You’re right, I forget they don’t make Bluetooth headsets. Hmmm

  28. Janet Wozniak says:

    He bought one for me and I LOVE it!

  29. christos katsogiannis says:

    what’s wrong with Apple having Woz waiting on the line to get an iPhone!!!!!!

  30. Aaaa says:

    LOL. shes fat and her chin looks like it has its own postal code… american girls are ugly as shit.

  31. JebaczKoz says:

    “Woz ma zwyczaj kupowa? po dwa iPhony
    – jeden do rozmawiania, drugi do surfowania po Sieci. Sytuacja ma
    zmieni? si? dopiero wtedy, gdy w iOS 7 b?dzie dost?pny pe?ny
    multitasking…”
