iOS & iPadOS management FAQs

What’s the difference between iOS management and iPadOS management?

Both iOS and iPadOS are the same operating system, so their management principles are nearly identical. Endpoint management typically relies on Apple Business Manager (ABM) or Apple School Manager (ASM) in conjunction with an MDM solution. Therefore, an Apple MDM solution works for both iOS MDM and iPadOS MDM.

Why should I use an MDM solution for iPadOS and iOS device management in a BYOD environment?

The right MDM software greatly simplifies mobile device management in a BYOD environment, allowing you to standardize security, enforce policies, and distribute apps and media without infringing on user autonomy.

Think of it like herding sheep. A mobile device manager is like a skilled shepherd, rounding up the devices for efficient oversight. Manual BYOD management is the equivalent of politely asking each sheep to fall in line. It might work with a small herd but not a large fleet.

What features should I look for in an MDM solution to manage iOS and iPadOS devices?

When searching for an Apple device management solution for iPhones and iPads, look at the tool’s ... 

  • Ease of use 

  • Enrollment options 

  • BYOD support 

  • Security features 

  • App management 

  • Policy management  

  • Remote configuration capabilities 

  • Integration with your existing systems 

  • Scalability 

Then, take into account the highest priorities for your environment, and make your choice accordingly.

What level of control do I need over iOS and iPadOS devices?

The necessary level of control depends on your environment, organizational needs, and compliance requirements.

Corporate devices typically provide a greater degree of control because you can use supervised mode. With supervised devices, an administrator can leverage extra restrictions, device configurations, and features. BYOD iPhones and iPads allow limited oversight focused on corporate resources on the device.
