Warren Buffett is getting with the times at the ripe age of 89 — FINALLY buying himself a nifty smartphone … but still using it like the flip phone he’s left behind.
The billionaire Berkshire Hathaway CEO was chatting with CNBC Monday, talking about Apple and how great of a company it’s turned out to be … speculating about its stock value and that sorta thing. During the convo, he dropped a bombshell … new phone, who dis?
Yep, ol’ Warren says he’s caved at last and purchased himself the latest edition of Apple’s iPhone, which has apparently become his go-to mobile device. RIP to his notorious $20 Samsung flip phone, which he’d been using for at least the past several years.
Warren had some pretty good things to say about his new celly — which he affectionately seems to think is called the one and only “Smartphone.” Anyway, the guy says iPhones have permeated just about everyone’s lives in modern society … and are revolutionary.
He even likens it to when the original telephone was created way back when, explaining the iPhone has had that same sorta cultural impact … perhaps even more so.
As for how he uses his cool new gadget, Warren says he’s still basic AF … just utilizing the lone the phone call function. Nice … never change, WB!!!
