Bill Gates reveals why he prefers Android over iPhone at Clubhouse

Android vs iPhone: The debate over whether Android is better or iPhone has been going on for a long time. There is, of course, never a conclusion to this debate. Apple is a very premium brand and several high profile celebrities use the iPhone. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates will not be there, as he previously revealed. But more details about his preference for Android were recently revealed by him during an interaction on Clubhouse, an invitation-only audio chat platform that is ironically only available on iOS at this point.

The tech mogul said that while he had an iPhone with him because he liked to keep track of everything, he preferred Android phones because they were more flexible, adding that some also came with Microsoft Office apps preinstalled, making them easier to use. goods. for him. In what was seemingly a dig into Apple’s lack of customization, he said some manufacturers were also more flexible in the way the software connected to the operating system.

However, it’s not clear what Microsoft’s co-founder meant in terms of connecting the software to the operating system, as the Microsoft Office apps compatible with iOS have always been available for download from the Apple App Store. Plus, Apple-launched iOS 14 offers much more customization than ever before, even allowing users to change the default browser and email client.

Android, owned by Google, is open source and is offered as an OS platform for various smartphone manufacturers, allowing these manufacturers to customize the apps on their phones according to their needs. On the other hand, iOS is proprietary software developed by Apple and exclusively for the hardware, which means that it was developed according to the design Apple envisions for its own phones.
