He's the third-largest shareholder of Apple behind Vanguard and Blackrock.

He waited until 2016 before investing, not exactly an early adopter.

The comment is replying to a blanket statement that Buffet doesn't invest in tech. He may be conservative about it, but he clearly does invest in tech.

And he regrets not investing in Amazon back in the 90s. I believe that he only recently started to invest in tech.

He bought IBM in 2011. That was his first venture in tech companies. Apple came along in 2016.
