That’s why we’re here to help you cut through the noise and get the insights that matter to your business. ## **What’s New in Apple Device Management** ### **Simplified Deployment & Migration** - Devices can now automatically discover MDM services during enrollment, and organizations can migrate to new MDM providers without wiping devices. - IT teams can move users from on-premise to the cloud, or vice versa, without needing a device reset. - Streamline device management, reduce device downtime and enhance flexibility with this update. ### **Stronger Identity & Access Control** - Platform single sign-on (SSO) improvements enable secure tap-to-login, verified SSO extensions and authenticated guest sessions during enrollment and throughout device use, boosting both security and user experience. - These enhancements strengthen security while simplifying access, making it easier for users to log in and for organizations to enforce consistent identity policies. ### **Enhanced App & Software Management** - IT can lock default messaging and calling apps and control app updates with Declarative Device Management (DDM), all while reducing reliance on legacy MDM commands. - Providing IT with greater control and visibility over device compliance and user experience helps ensure your device fleet remains secure, up-to-date and reliable. ## **How SOTI Supercharges Apple Device Management** Here are the top six features that SOTI MobiControl offers for Apple device users and how they make your mobile operations more efficient, secure and adaptable. ### **SOTI VPN for iOS & iPadOS** [SOTI VPN](https://soti.net/resources/blog/2025/soti-vpn-fast-flexible-secure/)\* is a secure way for your fleet of Apple iOS and iPadOS devices to access corporate data in the field.
