Mark Zuckerberg orders Facebook employees to give up iPhone and use Android, reason will surprise you

India Today  

A vast majority of the Facebook staffers don't use Apple iPhones running on iOS. Then again, when Recode's Kara Swisher asked Cook what would he do if he was Mark Zuckerberg, Cook replied, "I wouldn't be in this situation." Notably, not only did Zuckerberg pass an order banning the iPhones from Facebook, but he also responded to Cook's comment saying that he found them to be "extremely glib". Soon after, Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg in an interview with Recode said that she "respectfully disagrees" with Cook's critique. Tim Millers told NYT that while Apple wasn't a direct competitor to Facebook, the social media platform's acts were fueled by the company's criticism of the platform.
