Comment on Microsoft bans China-based employees from using Android devices for work, mandates switch to iPhones
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 4 months agoThat’s my read of it, or am I misunderstanding something?
Microsoft will purchase for their Android using employees an iPhone 15. The reference to one-time being that employees are only entitled to one, in the event they were to lose or damage it?

I could be wrong; but it came across to me as a “we’ll sell you one at a special discount”

Fair enough; it’s a bit vaguely worded and could be interpreted multiple ways.
From my experience, big corporations have always either provided me with company-issued phones for official use, or offered an additional allowance if I’ve opted to use my own personal device.
Then again, given how absolutely absurd some of Microsoft’s recent decisions have been (eg. Recall) - you can’t really be certain.

Considering they are designating “collection points” for the phones, I think you read it correctly.
One-time purchase is probably to incentivize not losing/selling your company phone.
