Microsoft Orders China Staff to Use iPhones for Work, Dropping Android from September for Security
Jul 8, 2024, 12:15 PM
Microsoft has issued a directive requiring its employees in China to switch from Android devices to Apple iPhones for work purposes starting in September 2024. This decision, outlined in an internal memo, is part of a broader security initiative aimed at fortifying the company's products and services against potential cyber threats. The lack of Google Mobile Services in China has been cited as a key reason for the move, as it affects the functionality and security of Android devices. The policy will impact hundreds of workers across the Chinese mainland, cutting off Android devices from corporate network access and includes the use of iPhones for identity verification and other corporate network access.
