沃兹尼亚克是影响乔布斯的重要人物之一。乔布斯与沃兹尼亚克初遇时，他们就很快发现了彼此都有着许多共同点，很快两人因为共同的兴趣交融到一起。

The partnership paved the way for what would be a bigger adventure together. "If it hadn't been for the Blue Boxes, there wouldn’t have been an Apple," Jobs later reflected. "I'm 100% sure of that. Woz and I learned how to work together, and we gained the confidence that we could solve technical problems and actually put something into production." They had created a device with a little circuit board that could control billions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure. "You cannot believe how much confidence that gave us." Woz came to the same conclusion: "It was probably a bad idea selling them, but it gave us a taste of what we could do with my engineering skills and his vision." The Blue Box adventure established a template for a partnership that would soon be born. Wozniak would be the gentle wizard coming up with a neat invention that he would have been happy just to give away, and Jobs would figure out how to make it user-friendly, put it together in a package, market it, and make a few bucks.
这次恶作剧为他们日后更精彩的创举铺平了道路。“如果不是因为蓝盒子，就不会有苹果公司，”乔布斯后来回想说，“这一点我百分百确定。沃兹和我学会了怎样合作，我们也获得了信心，相信自己可以解决技术问题并且真的把一些发明投入生产。”他们创造的仅用一小块电路板的装置，竟可以控制价值数十亿美元的基础设置。“你无法想象那给了我们多少信心。”沃兹也有同样的感触。“出售它们也许不是个好主意，但这让我们看到，我的工程技术和他的远见卓识结合起来，我们可以做出怎样的一番事业。”他说。蓝盒子的这段奇妙经历为两人之间即将诞生的合作关系建立了一个模板：沃兹尼亚克就是个文雅的天才，创造出一项很酷的发明，然后就算送给别人他也很高兴；而乔布斯会想出怎样让这个发明方便易用的方法，然后把它包装起来，推向市场，赚上一笔。
