Bill Gates reveals why he prefers Android to iPhone instead of Clubhouse

Android vs iPhone: The debate over whether Android is better or the iPhone has been a long one. Obviously, there is never a conclusion to this debate. Apple is an extremely premium brand, and many high-profile celebrities use the iPhone. However, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is not among them, as previously revealed. But more details behind his preference for Android were recently revealed to him during an interaction on Clubhouse, an invitation-only audio chat platform that is ironically only available on iOS at the moment.

The tech mogul said that while keeping an iPhone because he liked to keep track of everyone, he preferred Android phones because they were more flexible, adding that some also came with pre-installed Microsoft Office apps, which made it easier for them. to work. for him. In what appears to be a dig into Apple’s lack of customization, he said some manufacturers were also more flexible about how the software connected to the operating system.

However, it’s not clear what Microsoft co-founder meant when it came to connecting software to the operating system, as iOS-compatible Microsoft Office apps have always been available for download on the Apple App Store. Moreover, the iOS 14 released by Apple allows much more customization than it has ever done, allowing even users to change the default browser as well as the email client.

Android, owned by Google, is open source and is provided as an operating system platform for different smartphone manufacturers, which allows these manufacturers to customize the applications on their phones according to their wishes. On the other hand, iOS is a software developed by Apple, intended exclusively for its hardware, which means that it was developed according to the design that Apple imagined for its own phones.
