“You’re looking at an 89-year-old guy who’s barely beginning to get with it.” 

He further added that he doesn’t use his phone like other people. He does not use other advanced facilities offered by phone but uses it only to call. 

Earlier, he used Apple iPad to check the stock market but was happy to use a flip phone. The phone that he was using was around $20. His new phone, i.e., iPhone 11, comes at $699. Even though he has upgraded his phone, Warren says he would strictly be using his phone to make calls.
