For quite a while now, the iPhone brand has been closely linked with a sense of luxury and quality. This association is precisely why many of our beloved celebrities choose to flaunt the Apple brand.
But guess what? Not every starry-eyed icon has hopped on the iPhone bandwagon.
While most of us remain glued to our screens, a small yet intriguing group of prominent individuals refuse to be caught in the smartphone wave.
Tech Billionaires With No iPhones
Leading this pack is none other than Bill Gates, the billionaire head honcho of Microsoft.
According to a report from PhoneArena, there is a rumor that he was using the Z Fold 3 earlier, implying that he is pretty fond of Samsung's foldable allure. Considering the recent launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 5, it would not be surprising if he's already acquired one.
You might think that the man behind Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, would lean towards his own creations or the iPhone's charm. But no, he has been riding the Samsung train, recently flaunting a Galaxy S series phone at a recent Taylor Swift concert he attended. Rumor has it that he set his sights on the upcoming Galaxy S24.
Movie Stars Ignoring the Apple Brand
Even the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has yet to succumb to the siren call of smartphones.
While he does not scroll through social feeds, he is not exactly disconnected. The muscle-bound legend keeps an iPad handy for those transatlantic FaceTime chats with his Austrian pals.
Jumping off a cliff riding a motorcycle in action-packed movies, Tom Cruise might seem like the epitome of tech-savvy. However, he is no iPhone devotee. The Mission Impossible star has politely turned down the smartphone invitation.

More Celebrities
Enter LeBron James, the indisputable legend of professional basketball. A Samsung user through and through, he has taken his allegiance to the next level with a staggering $100 million sponsorship deal.
But the real question is, can even the most lucrative deals save you from the occasional tech hiccup? In 2014, James tweeted - and later deleted - a frustrated confession about his Samsung phone erasing everything and doing a mid-performance reboot.
Next on the celebrity Samsung train is Millie Bobby Brown, the beloved star of "Stranger Things." Beyond her on-screen charm, she is a real-world ambassador for Samsung.
But it is not just the young and the restless who have chosen Samsung's embrace. British heartthrob Henry Cavill, renowned for his portrayal of Superman, is not flying high on an iPhone. He has been spotted proudly wielding a Samsung phone on multiple occasions, making it clear that this galaxy is where his loyalty lies.
So, there you have it - a whirlwind tour of the celebrities who have snubbed iPhones.
From tech tycoons to sporting legends and Hollywood's finest, the world of smartphones is as diverse as the stars that grace our screens.
