Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, confirmed that Apple still refuses to switch to iPhone smartphones and plans to continue using mobile devices on the Android operating system. It has been reported business insider.
Reddit user 1oarecare asked the billionaire what kind of smartphone he owns for his daily commute. “I play with iPhone quite often, but I’m used to Android. “Some Android device manufacturers pre-install Microsoft software in a way that makes it easy for me.”
Gates is currently using the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, which was released in 2022. In the US, a foldable smartphone from a South Korean seller sells for about 1.6 thousand dollars (105.6 thousand rubles at the current exchange rate), which is more expensive than Apple’s iPhone 14 and 14 Pro starting prices.
In the past, Gates has called Google’s “biggest mistake” by allowing it to develop Android. Microsoft produced its own Windows-based mobile gadgets but stopped selling it in 2017. The devices did not have a strong impact on the smartphone market, which until then was split by Android and iOS.
