The main reason a company might provide iPhones is that someone who makes these kinds of decisions personally wants the company to give them an iPhone

considering decisions made by upper mgmt, our branch gets computers with like half as much ram, half as much disk space (which doesn't matter that much tbf) and a shittier dock and shittier power supply than other branches because why not? gently caress it!! gotta save that money!

We have like 5 of those Apple trash can looking things. They've never been on the network so I don't know what their purpose was

Pretty sure our ISP has just reported successfully setting up a reverse DNS entry without having the delegation from RIPE in place yet 🙃

In general, I found that the iPhones were far more consistent and that made it easy to help navigate someone through a problem. The people with Android phones all seemed to have wildly different setups depending on which model they had.

Nope and I don't want former IBM drones preaching that paid coffee instead of free coffee in the office is a good thing either. That might have been because he was a teetotalling rear end in a top hat and maybe not IBM related, but he kept mentioning IBM so much I cannot be sure.

Twice in my career I've been offered a role at IBM, unsolicited. Twice I turned them down. Zero times I had regrets.

At $job-2, I remember a lunch&learn from the Mobile Management Team (Fortune 50 company, they were responsible for supporting probably thousands of phones). It was a roughly 50/50 split iPhone/Android. Android users generated 90% of the support requests.

Blackberry's where the go to phone product for our staff that got phones, then suddenly they were replaced with iphones when blackberry was no longer competitive many years ago. To this day I've never seen an issued android device despite the regulations being in place to purchase them since 2013 or something

I’m buying a million s10es right now. Before that it was s9 before that S8, and before that I have a draws of like 100 s7s We also offer a few other models of people want them. I’d rather just have iPhones but the mothership wants to see texts and air watch wouldn’t let them see iMessages. Idk how it is on intune but that’s what they are moving to

That actually makes a ton of sense, I worked as an iPhone repair woman for a few years and it was terrible, trying to imagine what it's like to provide customer support for a device that almost every fix is "Well, completely wipe the phone and hope the user remembers their cloud password." Though I'm starting to realize that's actually probably preferable in an IT environment.

Didn’t we post a bunch of backgrounds earlier when we were all quarantined? I’m still using the bad cable management one and I blow a fan into the microphone so it sounds like I’m in a data center.

I haven’t had a single instance of my camera being on and I don’t know why anyone else would either. Why would I allow everyone to see me not listening or making wry faces constantly at the poo poo going on?

Y’all need to relink those. Before quarantine Webex didn’t have custom backgrounds and now they do. We’re a company new to video meetings and some managers demand cameras on. It’s ridiculous.
