He teased that he might crush his old phone at Berkshire Hathaway's upcoming annual meeting in May.It doesn't sound like he has many apps or uses the customizable memojis on his iPhone -- he says he simply uses it"as a phone." Berkshire owns around 5.6% of Apple .

Jesus. Should have bought a Coffin

How many times do you have to tell us? If you're confident your followers read most of your tweets then you should also be aware that you're boring them with repeat news, not that a billionaire changed his phone is news anyway!!

I wonder why he accepts gifts and then uses them against the donor. An elegant man would thank you politely and would not accept you. Apparently this American style of culture :) Greedy above all. What tax breaks for this interview? Because it smells of manipulation.

What? Mr. Buffet is going 5g? Good for him.

Was it personally delivered to him by Tim Apple?

Sellout

Ok boomer

Not sure I trust too much in Grandpa's takes on technology

I am watching CNN - RIGHT NOW—. Trashing Bernie!!!!! Not good... Fox never trashes Trump .. and God knows Trump deserves to be. How does the Democratic Party except to win with this behavior?

Finally out of the Stone Age

I’ve seen 7 people with flip phones this week, and it’s Wednesday.

who gives a rat's ass

Better for him to see which candidates he needs to dump money into on an Apple rather than a flip phone.

迈阿密一个叫奥斯梅尔·马丁内斯·阿兹寇的商人从中国回来后,出现了类似于流感的症状,他想自己是不是被感染了,于是去医院做检查。打算拍CT,一次CT要收费270到5000美元,这超出阿兹寇的预算,于是他只作了个血检就回家。回家后医院给阿兹寇寄来了一张账单,一次病毒检测竟收费3270美元,人民币约2.3万

Please report back when he’s medically dead, because no one cares

Warren Buffett says Apple is 'probably the best business I know in the world'Warren Buffett told CNBC that Berkshire Hathaway's 'third largest business,' after its insurance and railroad interests, is its stake in Apple. Is it because it enslaves Chinese people for its benefit? When WARREN B talks about INTEGRITY CHARACTER and ETHICS...that MUST NOT be sold for profit...and he overwhelmingly supports APPLE...knowing full well their outright use of illegal CHILD LABOR and many places ILLEGAL CHILD 'SLAVE' LABOR to make products...BUFFET's lying. It’s a shame you don’t have better reporters to ask a simple follow up question, WHY?
