Deutsche Bank ditches Blackberry for iPhone in a very surprising move that brings the phone Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in large numbers in one of the largest financial institutions on the planet. Until now, Deutsche Bank allowed its clients to use a iPhone personally instead of a Blackberry provided by the bank, but now completely changes the policy of internal purchases for phones.
Deutsche Bank is the 15th largest bank in the world, and its decision to abandon Blackberry phones in favor of the iPhone is a new blow to Canadians. Deutsche Bank's decision to keep Blackberry in use has left many employees without important functions for their own mobile phones, the security offered by the iPhone being most likely as good as that of Canadians.
Deutsche Bank ditches Blackberry for iPhone
Deutsche Bank knew since 2009 that the switch from Blackberry to iPhone would represent a change that many employees would like, but it waited for the security of the Apple product to be improved. Deutsche Bank decided to abandon the iPhone at a time when the Blackberry KEYone was launched on the market, the phone combining the Android operating system with a physical keyboard, for an experience superior to that offered by any other previous model.
Deutsche Bank will give a strong signal for other big companies to decide to switch from Blackberry, or Windows Phone, to iPhone in the coming years. The New York police have already announced their intention to completely abandon Windows Phone for Deutsche Bank starting this year, so it will be interesting to see how many major companies will do the exact same thing in the next period.
"Deutsche Bank is bowing to the inevitable and replacing the BlackBerry devices that were issued to its staff with Apple iPhones. A Deutsche Bank spokesperson confirmed that the lender is phasing out the devices, without commenting further."
