Microsoft mandates iPhones for China staff at work
==========
Microsoft recently announced that its employees in China will be required to switch from Android devices to iPhones for work purposes starting September 2024. The decision comes after a significant breach where Chinese state-sponsored hackers exploited a flaw in Microsoft Exchange software. The mandate is part of Microsoft's 'Secure Future Initiative' to fortify its products and services against cyber threats. Employees in China will use Apple devices to verify their identities and log into work systems. Microsoft will provide iPhone 15 models to employees using Android devices. The decision to switch to iPhones in China comes amidst heightened geopolitical tensions between the US and China.
