Facebook hates iPhones



 “In the early days we gave employees iPhones primarily,” a Facebook spokesperson tells. That decision and the rise of Android has left Facebook scrambling to get employees dogfooding its apps for Google’s OS. With most of the employees at Facebook using iPhones, they weren’t getting enough data on the Android app to know what’s wrong with it, so this initiative for asking the employees to switch is a step to correct that problem. Now the company’s headquarters is plastered with these eye-popping posters asking Facebookers to “switch today”, and fix Android flaws with its secret bug reporting tool “Rage Shake"

 “We’ve created more awareness that Android devices are available” Facebook says. Now, “there’s plenty of people here carrying around both devices, and not just engineers and not just mobile people.”
