Apple Co-founder Wozniak Admitted to Hospital Over Stroke Fears 

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was rushed to a hospital in Mexico City on Wednesday, raising concerns about a possible stroke, according to reports from Mexican media outlets. Reports are suggesting that the illness might be a less serious bout of vertigo.

The 73-year-old scientist and tech entrepreneur was scheduled to participate in a World Business Forum event in Mexico City’s Santa Fe neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon. Event organizers did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and there was no means to immediately confirm the reports of Wozniak’s hospitalization.

Wozniak had been slated to speak at the conference at 4:20 p.m. local time, but after finishing his speech, he reportedly told his wife that he was “feeling strange.” Concerned about his symptoms, she insisted that he go to the hospital.

How Wozniak co-founded Apple

In 1976, Wozniak co-founded the fledgling Apple Computer company along with his more famous business partner, Steve Jobs, who was the visionary investor and long-time Apple CEO until his passing in 2011. 

Together, they revolutionized personal computing and led Apple to become one of the world’s most valuable companies, known for its innovative designs and consumer electronics, including laptops, desktop computers, and the iconic iPhone.

What to note

Wozniak’s website, woz.org, and individuals associated with it did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

As reports continue to emerge, the tech world is closely monitoring Wozniak’s condition, with hopes for his swift recovery. Wozniak’s significant contributions to Apple and the tech industry, alongside Steve Jobs, have left an indelible mark, and his innovative spirit continues to resonate.
