Employees are given a 2TB ‌iCloud‌ plan and are able to merge the storage with their existing Apple Account or create a new account. Since only one primary account can be signed in at a time, most opt to use their existing account to avoid having to carry two iPhones.

This makes Android look like a sophisticated OS by comparison.

Some former employees said they were petrified to delete the files for fear that doing so would attract Apple's attention.

I can't blame them. Imagine having a sensitive document shared with high-ranking employees popping up in your (aforementioned very well designed) cloud storage account. What are you going to do, sent it to Steve Apple's trashbin?

Pretty much anything android does makes iOS look primitive because iOS is a primitive OS. People still use it because android is a trash heap.

Wat? So Android is trash but iOS is primitive?

So they're both bad. Not sure what you think is good then. Nothing?

Desktop Linux. The apps, software, and hardware are just not available.

Another year where iOS still doesn't have profiles like Android.
