| 0:00.9 | Here's something you may not have known, which is that Bill Gates prefers Android over iPhone. |
| 0:10.7 | Really? Are you surprised by that? |
| 0:15.4 | I mean, he went head to head. He battled with Apple for years. Him and Jobs, they went back |
| 0:23.0 | when you had to Windows versus Mac thing. So maybe it's not all that surprising. But he's got his own |
| 0:28.4 | stuff going on versus Google as well. But I guess the man's got to pick a platform. And it seems |
| 0:35.0 | to me, he's got a kind of thing going where, because he's been getting questioned with the Tesla |
| 0:40.9 | stuff as well. Like, oh, were you shorting Tesla? Are you pals with Elon Musk? What's going on |
| 0:46.4 | over here? But he's kind of got a little history of being a contrarian where it seems that one |

| 1:37.6 | on this application? Mr. Android. He's like, no, you know, he's like, I can get it. I can get on |
| 1:42.9 | an iPhone here and there. I got those two. I'm Bill Gates. Yeah. You can get any phone. Sure. |
| 1:48.9 | And but he did something similar when the question was posed to him. He was asked |
| 1:56.0 | why he chooses to use an Android phone more specifically. Let's see what the question was. |
| 2:08.8 | Sorkin who was doing the interview was curious if his preference might have changed given that he |
| 2:14.0 | was speaking through a service that's only available for iOS. In response, the Microsoft founder |
