Jul 8, 2024, 09:26 AM
Microsoft ($MSFT) has issued a directive requiring its employees in China to use iPhones ($AAPL) for work purposes starting from September 2024. The move is part of a broader security initiative and will effectively cut off the use of Android devices in the workplace. The decision is influenced by the lack of Google Play services in China, which affects the functionality and security of Android devices. This policy change will impact hundreds of Microsoft employees in the region. The internal memo specifies that iPhones will be used for work-related tasks, including identity verification.
