Reports indicate that Facebook is still in talks with Apple about bringing Facebook Home to the iPhone. CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the launch of the new software on Android mentioned the “great relationship” Facebook with Apple on a more general level, but the idea of Facebook taking over the iPhone’s home screen and popping Chat Head notifications over the rest of the OS, is unlikely as u ltimately anything that happens with Apple will be in partnership with them.
It’s incredibly unlikely that Apple would ever cede so much control of its platform to another company, and it’s just as unlikely that Facebook has any illusions about that. To wit
The second platform in that phrasing is Microsoft’s Windows Phone, which was also mentioned in the report.
Although Facebook enjoys deeper integration with Windows Phone than iOS, it still would face similar development roadblocks for the kind of full-phone takeover that Facebook Home represents.
So while Facebook talk to Apple and Microsoft, Facebook Home app will not be on either platform.
