Why Bill Gates prefers Android over iPhone

New Delhi: Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates prefers an Android smartphone over an Apple iPhone. The pre-install Microsoft software in the Android ecosystem that makes things easy for him, Gates said
In an interview on the invite-only audio chat app Clubhouse, Gates said that he often plays around with iPhones, "but the one I carry around happens to be Android".
"I actually use an Android phone. Because I want to keep track of everything," Gates told journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin in the interview.
Gates is currently holding on to the third position on the world's richest people's list, at $135 billion.
"Some of the Android manufacturers pre-install Microsoft software in a way that makes it easy for me," Gates said.
"They're more flexible about how the software connects up with the operating system. So that's what I ended up getting used to. You know, a lot of my friends have ?iPhone?, so there's no purity," he noted.
In 2019, Gates said that Microsoft losing to Android as the standard non-Apple phone platform was "one of one of the greatest mistakes of all time" for the company.
