While the audience applauded the film, parts are totally wrong according to Apple's other co-founder, Steve Wozniak.
Wozniak, a genius in his own right, strongly criticized the film.
In one scene, Jobs is show trying to persuade Wozniak that home computers will change the future and Wozniak replies, “Nobody wants to buy a computer. Nobody!” Wozniak (know as Woz) says that this exchange never happened and that the personalities are “very wrong”.
Commenting about the movie Woz said:
“I never looked like a professional. We were both kids. Our relationship was so different than what was portrayed. I'm embarrassed but if the movie is fun and entertaining, all the better. Anyone who reads my book iWoz can get a clearer picture.”
Steve Jobs was an Apple co-founder and visionary genius who revolutionized computers with a graphic user interface, upended the music industry by completely changing the way we listen to music and changed the computer industry's focus from desktops and laptops to the mobile web.
