What Does iOS 7 Bring to the BYOD Party?
Apple doesn't promote enterprise features in its products, instead choosing to be seen as the consumer's champion-but this doesn't mean it doesn't have any.
In fact, Apple's upcoming mobile iOS 7, scheduled to be released to the general public this fall, is chock-full of great stuff for companies. The release will surely please the growing mass of BYOD employees who will be able to enjoy the native iPhone experience whether they're using the phone for personal or business use.
"There is so much for the enterprise in this release, across lines of business, in education, healthcare and retail scenarios," says Blake Brannon, senior product engineer at AirWatch, a mobile device management (MDM) vendor. "It's as innovative as we've seen from Apple since the original MDM in iOS 4. It opens up ways of using these devices that previously were just not possible."
