![]() With this announcement comes all the enhancements announced in the Spring of 2019 for Managed Apple IDs in Apple School Manager. While Managed Apple IDs have existed in Apple School Manager as a method to provide App Store and iCloud access to students, it has been announced that they will now be making their way to the enterprise in Apple Business Manager. Managed Apple IDs are a method for organizations to create Apple IDs on behalf of their users and offer a managed identity on their devices. This is a breath of fresh air for BYOD users and those who are wary of the totality of full device management and allows them to maintain easy access to their personal and workspaces simultaneously. However, this type of enrollment does come with expected limitations that prevent admins from performing invasive actions like device wipe, clear device passcode, or the enforcement of certain restrictions. Any resource provisioned to the managed Apple ID can now be safely removed by the IT admins. The device creates a separate managed identity on the device, while still allowing a user to maintain a personal Apple ID simultaneously. In this new paradigm, admins can provide resources to “ users” rather than devices by specifying a Managed Apple ID for each user during the enrollment process (more to come on Managed Apple IDs later). In my opinion, the most surprising yet exciting news by a wide margin was the announcement of a new method for enrolling Apple devices called User Enrollment. This blog will be a guide for all things enterprise that Apple has announced and what to expect later this year when the updates are due to release. Some of the capabilities presented are archetypal shifts in the management of Apple devices while others have been feverishly desired since MDM’s initial release. While the consumer features were thrilling and a huge hit with WWDC audience, the most gripping announcements came for the enterprise, especially for their iOS 13 and macOS Catalina releases. Lastly, some of the new Accessibility features to control an iPhone, iPad, or Mac with only voice are simply brilliant and could revolutionize how users interact and succeed on Apple’s platforms. It also brings a new Sidecar capability to allow users iPads to be used as an extended or mirrored desktop with Apple Pencil compatibility for their macOS Catalina device. macOS 10.15 aka Catalina will bring us the end of iTunes in favor of a trio of Music, Podcast, and TV apps in its place. We saw Dark Mode come to iOS 13 and the newly announced iPadOS. This year at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) keynote CEO Tim Cook presented numerous consumer updates for hardware and software in the Apple ecosystem.
