"We used to have these ads, 'I'm a Mac and I'm a PC', and the Mac was always the cool guy," he told Bloomberg. "And ouch, it's painful, because we kind of are losing that."
Wozniak previously blasted his former employers as "arrogant", claiming that the company has become "used to cranking out the newest iPhone and falling a little behind."
He also urged Apple to open up its iTunes platform to Android and Windows Phone users in a bid to secure a larger market share.
However, Wozniak admitted that he would purchase the rumoured iWatch should the product make it to market.
