Microsoft tells China staff to use iPhones for work, not Android, Bloomberg says

Microsoft (MSFT) has told staff in China they must use iPhones (AAPL) for work starting in September, saying that Google (GOOGL) services like the Play Store are not available in China, Bloomberg reports. The measure is part of a companywide effort to strengthen Microsoft products and services against hackers and will impact hundreds of workers across the Chinese mainland, according to the report. It is intended to ensure that all staff use the Microsoft Authenticator password manager and Identity Pass app, according to an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg News.
