Can Apple engineer use non-Apple phones?

Do you use your personal mobile devices for work email, VPN access etc? Is it OK to have an Android device for these? Are some brands no go? Direct competition like Samsung, Or those with Chinese ties e.g. Huawei? Asking as might get an offer, currently have Huawei, thinking of upgrading to Samsung. My family is not into Apple devices, but Android, and want to keep single ecosystem. TC 190k EDIT: I can see it triggered some people. Perhaps replace can vs should. What are the disadvantage. Certainly, on Huawei one cannot install Okta Verify, meaning one might need to drag extra device. Is this the case with apple? EDIT2: It seems that practicality dictates going for iphone - from reading the comments. To be able to install some internal apps #Apple

Ah, I see youā€™ve discovered Jobs commandment #155: ā€œthou shall not use another cellphone brand other than Appleā€. Other than the commandment youā€™re probably good to use whatever tf you want.

There's nothing like that. You are free to use whatever phone you want for your personal use. They can give you a "company phone" if they want you to use iphone

Having an extra phone to carry would be a disadvantage.

Amazon nlxz73 Sep 20, 2022

Advantage: switch off your company phone after 5

I'm proven so wrong every time I see such a post. Common sense is not so common šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

Bruh. You can use a rotary dial telephone. No one cares.

wat? 1) Apple try to hire people who are fans of their products. 2) If managers notice some Android they definitely will not like that as they are very "patriotic" about their products or at least they try to pretend they are. 3) Are not some internal apps not available on Android?

How are you smart enough to clear Apple interviews and then ask this?

Geez why would someone use Samsung over almost any other Android brand or even iPhone?

Deloitte ConsultT Sep 20, 2022

Because of a superiority complex and the need to ā€œcustomizeā€ their phone with useless widgets and trinkets that required the slightest shred of Q/A to make their way onto iPhone.

Meta meteqmete Sep 20, 2022

What I'm saying is that Samsung phones are crap, you can buy a Pixel for almost the same price, and it's so much better that's not even close

Huawei has consistently one of the worst phones on the market. My ex gf had it and I hate that phoneā€™s software with a passion.

Amazon Sm3llyF@rt Sep 20, 2022

I joined Apple start of august. Second week on the job and my manager saw my Pixel 6 on web ex. Yada yada yada Iā€™m now at Amazon eating bananasšŸ˜”

my sympathies. Someone should have asked earlier and these things would not happen to engineers like you and me.

I believe youā€™ll be firmly yet politely asked to leave.
