“Last year, I had one coming from Steve Jobs, but I still wanted to do this” he told The Mercury-News of San Jose.

Dressed in black and posing for pictures with employees and customers at a Silicon Valley Apple store, Wozniak bought one black phone and one white, both 16 gigs.

“I could get someone to do this for me,” said Wozniak, who hasn’t actively worked at Apple since the 1980s. “But, it’s fun. We are all here – Macintosh enthusiasts.”

Wozniak and Jobs formed Apple Computer in 1976.
