The interviewer noticed, "When you look closely, there are no Apple products around you?"

Mr. Wayne does not use Apple products and he does not even have an iPhone.

Mr. Wayne, who has let go of the Apple foundation document and lost the proof as the third man when Apple was founded, but he still owns only the real sketch of Apple's corporate logo designed as an Apple founding member It is said that it is.
