NEW DELHI: BlackBerry CEO John Chen reveals his company is thinking the idea of collaborating with Apple on security. “If Apple would ever come to us and would love to have our security, we could talk,” Chen said.
Chen, however, declined to comment on if there were already talks with Apple on the subject.
“Yes, we speak to our rivals. We may be going after the same customer base, but we’re not enemies. You can be friends and compete like athletes,” Chen said.
Even if BlackBerry has been trumped in the smartphone wars, a territory which the company had once helped build, its security features is still widely respected. The US Department of Defence uses BlackBerry for its security advantages and so does the US President Barack Obama.
