According to foreign media reports, despite Yahoo's new CEO Marissa Mayer is a
former Google executive, but she is an iPhone user. According to two sources, Mayer even proposed every Yahoo employee could use iPhone.In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, Mayer raised funds provided by Yahoo to buy iPhone for each employee.

Buying iPhone 5 for every employee will inevitably significantly boost employee loyalty.

However, insiders pointed out that the real purpose of Mayer's move to make the
company use the unified coordinating platform.

At present, Yahoo employees are allowed to use BlackBerry,iPhone or Android
smartphone with different platforms. Mayer believes that if the company is able to use a
unified mobile platform, Yahoo employees can better understand the performance of the products on the platform, and make a corresponding improvement.

To configure an iPhone for every employee will cost Yahoo millions of dollars, however,compared to more than $ 1 billion in cash reserve, this is only a fraction of the number only. Yahoo hopes to continue to remain innovative in the future, while the BlackBerry is clearly no longer representing the future, so Mayer's decision will be wise, and the return will be greater than the investment.
