Buffett's lieutenants may have trimmed their stake in Apple for a few reasons. They may have wanted to diversify Berkshire's holdings, given the iPhone maker accounts for nearly 30% of its portfolio.

Depending on when they sold the 3.7 million Apple shares, they netted between $806 million and nearly $1.1 billion.

Buffett is unlikely to sell a significant amount of his Apple shares anytime soon, given his preference for long-term investing over a quick payday. He's also unlikely to buy more.
