Why This Update Matters to Enterprise IT

AI governance at device level: Apple now lets IT teams allow/deny use of external AI services across corporate devices. This is crucial for compliance in regulated industries.
Vision Pro and iPadOS support for device management: With Apple expanding into headsets and pro tablets, IT teams can finally manage these devices under existing policies.
Deeper integration with MDM and ITSM tools: Apple’s APIs open the door to tighter workflows, but they still require scripting and orchestration most IT teams can’t scale.
