Zuckerberg gets iPhone from Apple chief

In an interview with Matt Lauer on NBC's The Today Show, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has revealed that Apple CEO Tim Cook sent him a free iPhone 5.

The gratis handset comes as no surprise given the importance of Facebook on both Apple's OS X and iOS, with tighter integration rolled out for each platform in their latest releases, Appleinsider.com reported.

In the interview (via Business Insider), Zuckerberg commented on how the iPhone 5 and iOS affects Facebook interaction:

“iPhone is a great platform. There are more people who use Facebook on Android — because Android is just — more people use it, at this point. And the thing that I think a lot of people don't think about is that there are actually more people in the world using Facebook on mobile Web, right, so not using the apps on iOS or Android, but actually just going to a browser on a phone. There are more people doing that than the iPhone and all of Android phones combined, right? So it's actually a pretty diverse ecosystem,” he was quoted as saying.
