Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is one of the most likable guys in tech — but that doesn’t mean he always likes everything. That Ashton Kutcher Steve Jobs biopic? Woz said it got a lot wrong. Wearables? Woz says they’re a hard sell. But Woz sure likes Apple’s new iPhone 6, so much so that he’s ditching Android, Google’s mobile operating system he’s grown fond of.
In the below video from entertainment news and gossip site TMZ, Woz allows himself to be stopped in an airport, at least temporarily, to share his excitement for Apple’s new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Pay, the company’s new mobile-payments service.

“I got rid of all my Androids,” Woz said to the off-camera “reporter,” in praise of the bigger screens on the two new iPhones. The iPhone 6 sports a 4.7-inch display, up from the 4-inch screen in the iPhone 5S, and the 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch display.
That’s a bigger deal than it may seem. Wozniak has floated the idea of Apple and Google teaming up, or even, Apple making an Android phone. He’s long been a fan of both mobile operating systems.
Fortunately, one other thing Woz likes is talking with people about tech, even when they’re harassing him in an airport. Check out the whole thing below and let us know in the comments and @Crave if you agree with Woz that the new iPhone is worth giving up all your other smartphones.
