Former CEO of the company Google, Eric Schmidt, had a vacation of 9 months from the duties of the current president of the board of directors of Google, or rather A, and during this period he became familiar with the Apple iPhone.
Apart from an iPhone 6S, Eric Schmidt used smartphones with the Windows Phone operating system, and all with the idea of learning as much as possible about the competing platforms to the Android one whose development he oversaw for several years at Google.
Many could say that since the president of Alphabet's board of directors uses an iPhone 6S, then it is clear that Android terminals are not good, but the real reasons for using the device have been explained to you above and they are normal.
Many managers who develop competing products of Apple use the smartphones of those from Cupertino to see how they can improve their own products or how they can give developers more functions to improve applications.
On a 9-month leave-of-absence, I have a HUGE AND UNUSUAL opportunity to get to know these products deeply. To understand the benefits and drawbacks of a full ecosystem like Windows, Android, iOS — you have to LIVE IN IT. You have to feel its strengths and weaknesses, be let down, be delighted. And you can't do that just "playing around" with a device for a couple of days. You have to learn the UI, upload your photos, use cross-device apps and tools... all of it.
This is one of the rare occasions in which Schmidt is photographed using an iPhone in everyday life, and it is unlikely that we will see him again.
