"Recently, I actually did switch to an Android phone," he said, speaking on Fox News on Sunday.
Microsoft's own Windows-powered phones have failed to make a significant impact on the smartphone market, which is dominated by devices running Google's Android operating system.

He did not reveal which particular smartphone he currently uses.

Steve Jobs always did. NeXT was created as a company to build the computer that Steve Jobs wanted to use, and to amortise the cost of this by selling a few of them to other people. This persisted after he came back to Apple. It has advantages and disadvantages. The plus side was that Mac UIs were always very efficient when you wanted to do the same things that Steve Jobs did. The downside was that use cases that Steve Jobs didn't have were considered vastly less important, even if they were requirements that 90% of Apple customers had.
