About Buffett Held $72B In Apple Stock But Still Used A Samsung Flip Phone

Warren Buffett, despite owning $72 billion in Apple stock through his firm Berkshire Hathaway, used a $20 Samsung flip phone until 2020. In 2016, Berkshire Hathaway began buying Apple, and by 2019, their stake was worth $72 billion. Buffett humorously referred to his flip phone as a gift from Alexander Graham Bell. Even Apple's CEO Tim Cook sent him iPhones to persuade him to switch.
