Apple has had incredible success in the corporate world over the last decade. With Apple Business and modern device management tools, Macs are easier to deploy and manage than ever before. However, as Apple continues to grow its position as an enterprise vendor of choice for IT teams, it must recognize that enterprise customers demands greater operational stability. You simply cannot break core office functionality in a security patch, and if you do, you have to fix it ASAP.

Every now and then, I have to step outside my usual ecosystem to deploy a Windows PC for a specific role/task. I recently had to set up a new Dell laptop, and the entire experience was a harsh reminder of how good we have it in the Apple IT world. Deploying this new PC made me appreciate everything Apple has built into macOS and the entire setup process from beginning to end.

WWDC has come and gone once again, and there are a number of key updates coming to the IT world this fall. One note before we begin: now is the time to test your device workflows, apps, etc. Bugs that are reported early in the beta process are the ones that get fixed.

With macOS 27 and iOS 27, the transition to declarative device management is no longer a forward-looking roadmap notice from Apple. It’s the standard. By moving legacy configurations into the declarative model and introducing powerful new native controls, Apple is giving IT departments the tools to keep Apple the best vendor for IT endpoints.

My LinkedIn feed is full of a growing narrative predicting a coming SaaS apocalypse. It’s actually full of AI-slop-thought-leadership as well, but that is another story. The idea is that generative AI tools like Claud will eventually become so powerful that businesses will simply replace all their specialized SaaS software vendors with a single AI tool. As someone who’s worked in IT for 20 years and currently uses these tools in the workplace, I want to immediately push back on that idea

There was a time when a stolen iPad or MacBook was a double nightmare for an IT department. You had to worry about the data, but you also knew the physical hardware was gone forever and would have to be replaced. A thief could wipe the device, reinstall the OS, and sell a perfectly good machine on Facebook Marketplace. However, with the maturity of the Apple Business platform and zero-touch enrollment, Apple has mostly destroyed the financial incentive for stealing corporate Macs and iPads.

Earlier this Spring, Apple unveiled Apple Business, combining Apple Business Essentials, Apple Business Manager, and Apple Business Connect (including Apple Maps Connect) into a single platform. While the free device management was the key aspect of the announcement, the integration of Apple Business Connect into an IT-managed portal solved a problem that I am not sure people were aware of.

Over the past few weeks, the Mac admins I talk with have been talking about a report from Netskope Threat Labs regarding a new macOS ClickFix campaign. The campaign is a brilliant (and scary) piece of social engineering, and it highlights exactly why the traditional 90-day software update deferral window needs to be retired, either by Apple or by IT.

For much of my IT career, cybersecurity training has looked exactly the same. Once a year, IT forces everyone to watch a few videos and take a multiple-choice quiz. This training does check a box, but it rarely changes actual user behavior or provides a ton of new insights. However, AI will begin to completely flip how training is done. A new integration announced recently by Dashlane and KnowBe4 gives us a clear view of how AI and real-time automation will change cybersecurity training for the good.

Apple Business and Apple School Manager are foundational to modern Apple device deployments. If you are deploying Macs, iPads, or iPhones in the enterprise, you spend a lot of time in these portals. The problem is that the web interface can be incredibly tedious when you are dealing with thousands of devices. As we’ve mentioned a few times, Apple released an official API for these services last year, opening the door to automation and new tools. A new native macOS app called ASBMUtil is one such example.

If you spend enough time managing Apple devices in an enterprise environment, you start to spot patterns in how security incidents happen. It is rarely a cinematic Ocean’s 11-style hack. Instead, it is usually a user delaying an iOS update for three months or an employee connecting to an open Wi-Fi network at a hotel or coffee shop. Jamf recently released its Security 360: Annual Trends Report on Mobile Devices, and the data paints a very clear picture of the vulnerabilities that IT departments are currently facing. Even in the age of AI, what’s old is new again

Over the last few weeks, I have talked a lot about shadow IT and how it is evolving. I recently did a webinar on AI as the new shadow IT, but there is another area Apple IT administrators need to consider: the web browser. A new report from Omdia, commissioned by Parallels, surveyed 400 IT and cybersecurity professionals and found that 68% of organizations are seeing an increase in browser-based security incidents. Since most enterprise SaaS apps are browser-based, it’s worth considering.

Apple recently announced that the device management portion of its new Apple Business platform is now completely free. If you manage a fleet of Apple devices, this immediately caught your attention. It’s the first free device management system I can remember since Meraki’s System Manager. Giving small businesses a free tool to manage their Macs and iPhones is a huge win for the ecosystem. However, if you are an IT administrator looking at your current device management renewal and wondering if you can just cancel it and move everything to Apple, you need to pump the brakes a bit. Let’s look at why.

Apple Business Manager (and Apple School Manager) is foundational to the modern Apple IT management experience. With that said, if a Mac isn’t in it, device management is a different ballgame. You might have a fleet of Macs that were purchased through a consumer channel or inherited from a company merger. If you want them in Apple Business Manager so you can use Automated Device Enrollment, you will generally need to wipe the device. What if you don’t want to? That’s where add2abm comes into play.

My use of my iPhone has somewhat evolved over the years. I used to want to replicate everything that my Mac could do on my iPhone, but over time, I’ve looked to my Mac as the workhorse and my iPhone as a “cloud remote” to quickly do things on the go that take minimal effort and thought processing. Apple device management is one of those things. I don’t want to manage my entire database on my iPhone. I do, however, want to do a few things. That is where tools like PocketMDM come into play.

The need for highly reliable internet connectivity is a no brainer for enterprises, K through 12, healthcare, etc. Eero recently launched Eero Signal, a 4G LTE backup device that plugs into existing Eero routers to automatically keep homes and small businesses online during an ISP outage. A 5G version is on the way. With an Eero Plus subscription, 10GB of bandwidth per year is included, with options to upgrade to 100GB.

For over a decade, the enterprise email and calendar market has been a two-horse race between Microsoft and Google. If you started a new company, you bought your domain and immediately signed up for either Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. With the launch of the new Apple Business platform, Apple is officially throwing its hat into the ring to challenge Google and Microsoft with a free business email service.

Today, Apple announced a massive shift in how it approaches the enterprise market. On April 14, Apple will merge all of its business and enterprise tools under a single, unified platform simply called Apple Business. The biggest news in this announcement is that the built-in mobile device management features (previously a paid subscription under Apple Business Essentials) will be completely free for organizations in over 200 countries.

When we talk about the accelerated growth of the Mac in the enterprise, we usually bring up how Apple Business Manager enabled easy zero-touch deployment or the sheer power of Apple Silicon, creating an incredible user experience, but I firmly believe that one of the key trends paved the way for Apple to take over the corporate world was with with Dropbox shoehorning itself into macOS back in the late 2000s.

For the last decade, the strategy for many IT departments was simple: move everything to the cloud to save on costs. The promise was moving faster, with less downtime and less maintenance, but as we settle into 2026, the reality is looking a bit different for some teams. Parallels has just released its 2026 State of Cloud Computing Survey. The results paint a picture of IT teams slowing down on “cloud at all costs” because they are realizing it’s leading them into vendor lock-in.

Apple Business Manager (and Apple School Manager) is the source of truth for Apple device management. If a device isn’t in ABM, it doesn’t really exist for your fleet is concerned. While the web portal has improved over the years, it is still a web portal. It generally takes me longer to log in, approve 2FA, etc., than it does to actually search. This is why I was excited to come across ABMate recently.

If you have walked into a conference room with a MacBook Air in the last five years, you know the struggle. You look for the cable, realize it does not fit your laptop because it’s HDMI, hunt for a USB-C dongle, find one that is broken or doesn’t do the handshake right, and eventually just join the Zoom call from your laptop screen. Owl Labs has been a staple in small conference rooms for a while with their 360-degree cameras. I really saw them take off during COVID and remote work. They look unique, but they solved the camera angle problem of getting everyone on the screen. Recently, they announced the Meeting Owl 5 Pro. While the camera specs are improved, the real upgrade story for Mac users is the connectivity that this new model brings.
