Facebook hired Apple Engineers To Build The Facebook Phone


Facebook has hired more than a half dozen former Apple software and hardware engineers who were on the iPhone, and one who worked on the iPad, to build the Facebook Phone, The New York Times reports.

Zuckerberg is peppering former Apple engineers with very specific questions about the iPhone, too — including the types of chips used.
The Facebook phone project has been rebooted a number of times because the company only recently discovered it needed to bring in people with phone-making experience, according to the report. One Facebook employee told The New York Times that Facebook originally thought it could figure out hardware development on its own.
