No, Bill Gates does not own an iPhone.
Contrary to what some might expect, given the ubiquity of iPhones, Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, is not an iPhone user. He has stated that he prefers using Samsung phones. This revelation came during an "Ask Me Anything" session on Reddit, where he confirmed his preference for the Android operating system, specifically through the use of Samsung devices.
While Microsoft has developed apps available on iOS, including iPhones, Gates's personal choice remains within the Android ecosystem. His allegiance to Samsung highlights the competition within the smartphone market and demonstrates that even someone deeply involved in the tech industry can have a preference outside of their own company's products or competing brands.
