There is a lot of interest in the habits and preferences of Bill Gates. Microsoft co-founder tends to attract personal questions about technology that are usually answered without qualms. It’s the case with the type of phone you’re using, something we’ve known for years and is now confirmed as well as adding a reason for it.
Bill Gates himself has said many times in the past that he prefers Android to iPhone. Apparently that’s still the case today, as an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit, Gates confirmed) that hasn’t yet moved to the iPhone or You also don’t use iPad, Mac or even Microsoft Sufrace Duo.
It’s not just about folding
Bill Gates’ phone is nothing but a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, which he received directly from the company’s CEO, JY Lee. Last year, Gates already said he was using a Z Fold3, and according to his recent AMA on Reddit, he traveled to South Korea to receive his new phone from Lee.
“I have a Samsung Fold 4 that JY Lee, the president of Samsung, gave me when I saw him in South Korea to update my Fold 3. Of course, I use Outlook and a lot of software The screen size means I’m not using a tablet, just the phone and my laptop, a Windows machine.
Without giving details on his Windows machine of choice, Gates didn’t give a reason why he prefers Android over the iPhone. While the issue of foldable devices may now weigh in, the last we know from a Clubhouse interview held in 2021 (via 9to5mac) is that considers Android makers to be “more flexible” with software integration.
According to Gates himself, this translates into his main reason, which is that “some pro-Android manufacturers install Microsoft software in a way that makes it easier for me”. The reason, no doubt, is somewhat peculiar considering that the same Microsoft apps are available for download on any iPhone through the App Store.
Although years ago, Bill Gates has always chosen Microsoft products, buying their daughters a Zune and not an iPod, now, with the disappearance of Windows Phones, the choice is different. Gates himself admits he has an iPhone “out there” to try little things. You’ve also tweeted a few times using “Twitter for iPhone”, but for now it looks like the Z Flip is your go-to. We’ll see if a foldable iPhone can convince him.
