Facebook has a problem of iPhone love: too many of its employees prefer Apple’s device when given the chance between an iPhone and Android smartphone. This means that up until now, far less workers have been able to truly live in an Android environment where they can identify bugs within Facebook and fix them. Now, the chief product officer is changing that by ordering some employees to switch to Android.

Maybe you know this sickening feeling: Your smartphone slips from your hand and starts its descent toward the ground. If you’re standing in an asphalt parking lot or walking down a city sidewalk — and you don’t have your phone protected in a life-preserving case — you know what happens next.

Time seems to stand still as the phone falls toward earth. Then … Impact. Shattering glass. And a horrifying glimpse at the damage done.

Does HTC want the One A9 to sell? Photo: HTC

At $399, HTC’s new One A9 is more affordable than most flagship smartphones off-contract — but it’s still not in the same bracket as devices like the OnePlus 2. And it’s only going to get more expensive.

HTC mentioned during its One A9 unveiling that this price tag was a “limited time promotional offer,” and that ends when the device makes its official debut on November 7 — at which point, HTC will add another $100 to the One A9’s price tag.

Jony Ive sure hates rival companies ripping off the iPhone for their latest flagship handset design. Which is why we’d respectfully suggest that Jony doesn’t click the link below, unless he wants to ruin his Wednesday before it even starts.

From the curved edges and color options to the prominent antenna lines, all that’s missing is the Apple stamp of quality. And Jony’s permission, of course.

Get ready, HTC fans — the new One A9 smartphone is just hours away from its official unveiling in New York City.

HTC is live-streaming the whole thing from the Barclays Center with special guests like Jay Z, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne — and you can watch it all right here from 12 p.m. EST.
