iMessage vs. WhatsApp: Messaging smackdown!

I use Apple’s Messages app every single day, and I like most things about it. However, in Europe, WhatsApp reigns supreme.

Neither of us had any idea that this would go anywhere. Woz is motivated by figuring things out.

I was trying to build the company—trying to find out what a company was. I don’t think it would have happened without Woz and I don’t think it would have happened without me.
