Mark Zuckerberg criticized Apple on Joe Rogan's podcast for its lack of innovation and strict third-party developer rules. "It’s like Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they’re just kind of sitting on it 20 years later.

Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan that Apple hasn’t invented anything great in roughly two decades, since Steve Jobs created the iPhone.

Apple is no stranger to unsolicited shots across the bow. The latest comes from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who used his time on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast to take a few shots at the iPhone maker.

Zuckerberg touched on a lot of other tech topics as part of his conversation with Rogan, including AI and how he thinks about screen time with his daughter playing Minecraft. One area he spent some time on was neural interfaces and how physical and digital worlds will blend together.
