		</div><p>Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has said he believes the company should have split into different divisions years ago, as he called for greater competition among big tech firms.</p>
<p>Asked to give his view on breaking up large companies, Wozniak told Bloomberg he is “pretty much in favour” of doing so.</p>
<p>On Apple specifically, he said he felt the company should have shaken things up some time ago – though he appeared to suggest it should have been done to help its engineers work more freely, rather than over antitrust concerns.</p>
<p>He said: <em>“I wish Apple on its own has split off a long time ago and spun off independent divisions to faraway places and let them work independently, like Hewlett Packard did when I worked there.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Wozniak has previously praised his time at Hewlett Packard, saying the company allowed its engineers to work freely – going into the office whenever they wanted to work on their own designs.</p>
<p>But on the broader subject of the tech industry in general, he said companies should allow more competition.</p>
<p><em>“I think big tech has gotten too big, it’s too powerful a force in our life, and it’s taken our choices away. It’s hard to escape,”</em> he said.</p>
<p>He added he believes Apple is the “best of the companies” because it focuses on making money through new products rather than “tracking and following” people.</p>
<p>But he said the likes of Facebook and Google should offer users “a choice to pay for almost no tracking”.</p>
