Facebook Ordering Some Employees To Switch To Android

Facebook has a problem with the iPhone, too many of its employees prefer the iPhone when given the chance between an iPhone and Android smartphone. This means that up until now, less workers have been able to understand Android when they can identify bugs within Facebook and fix them. Now, the chief product officer is changing that by ordering some employees to switch to Android. “I am mandating a switch of a whole bunch of my team over to Android, just because people, when left up to their own devices, will often prefer an iPhone,” said Facebook’s chief product officer Chris Cox during a briefing. He considers it harmful that so many people on the team aren’t using the most popular operating system in the world. Android has particular prominence in developing and low-income countries. By switching some workers to Android, Cox wants to enable his team in a way “so that they can be reporting bugs and living in the same experience that most Facebook users experience today.” Is Cox being bias ? Or is he just dong what’s best for Facebook ? What do you think ?
