Managed Apple Accounts are quickly becoming the foundation of Apple devices at work, and if your organization has not rolled them out yet, it’s a project worthy of your team’s attention heading into 2026. Back in my long-retired K-12 tech-focused days in 2012, Fraser Speirs and I talked at length about how identity management was the problem to solve in a cloud and multi-device world. Apple’s managed identity system has quietly become one of the most important parts of its enterprise story. What started as a way to manage App Store accounts for students and employees has evolved into a secure, scalable identity layer that connects everything in the Apple ecosystem with the tools IT already uses.

Since its release, Apple Vision Pro has been discussed a lot in the context of entertainment and work, but its most meaningful long term use case might be happening in healthcare. A new clinical study from Cognixion is using Vision Pro to learn more about how people living with conditions such as ALS, spinal cord injuries, or stroke related impairments can communicate using a combination of brain signals, eye tracking, and AI.

The web browser is one of the most important apps on any Mac, especially in the enterprise. For most employees, it is where a lot of their work happens: Jira, SDFC, email, and other SaaS tools. For IT, that makes the browser both a productivity enabler and one of the biggest security surfaces to manage. Getting identity and access right inside the browser is now just as critical as securing the device itself. That is why Chrome’s new support for Apple’s Extensible Single Sign On framework is such a big deal heading into Q4. It gives IT a native, secure way to deliver seamless authentication for Chrome users on the Mac without adding much friction or complexity.

It began in 2020, and since then, Apple has steadily gone from the computer employees begging IT to support to a platform CIOs now consider as mission-critical. A new CIO survey shows Apple makes up 63% of endpoints in the enterprise today. 95% of IT leaders plan to grow their Mac purchases over the next two years. 73% are already running AI workloads on Apple devices. Apple Silicon, combined with end-to-end hardware and software, and strong price-to-performance, has led to an incredible run for Apple in the enterprise.

Apple has long given IT admins the ability to delay software updates across fleets as it has built out the modern device management stack. The idea made sense at the time because it gave IT teams time to test, validate, and make sure nothing broke before updates hit thousands of devices.

The world has changed though. Security risks move faster, attacks are smarter, and the 90 day window Apple still offers feels outdated. As Apple has made the yearly updates more reliable in terms of not breaking things, I think it is time for Apple to rethink the balance and cut that maximum delay down to 30 days.

Apple has built a world for IT where zero-touch deployments are the defacto default. Most devices arrive sealed, are unboxed by the end user, and are configured automatically through device management services. For many IT teams, that is the dream scenario they have always wanted. In education and retail, there are still plenty of times when a hands-on macOS app for deployment can be just as valuable. That is where Apple Configurator for macOS continues to matter.

Apple Intelligence has been largely underwhelming to most people thus far. That said, I believe that a killer use case has arrived, and we’re vastly underestimating its long-term impact. That feature is Live Translation. It is easy to dismiss it as a travel gimmick, but I think it could become one of the most important business tools Apple has ever shipped. When AirPods can handle real-time translation with nothing more than an iPhone in your pocket, the way global teams collaborate starts to look very different.

Apple’s footprint in the enterprise has steadily expanded, but healthcare is where the impact can feel the most personal. At Emory Healthcare, Apple devices are now the foundation of care delivery. Emory Hillandale is the nation’s first hospital fully powered by Apple products, with Macs, iPads, iPhones, and Apple Watches deployed throughout the hospital to run Epic Hyperspace and support patient care. One of the most important aspects of this rollout is that Epic is now a native macOS app.

Starting around 2012, I told anyone who would listen that identity was the key problem for IT. I’ve been proven right, and companies have built great solutions in the years since. That does not mean it is a completely solved problem, though. Cisco Duo’s 2025 State of Identity Security report highlights that the risks are growing faster than many IT teams are prepared to handle. AI-driven phishing, identity spoofing, and internal leaks are forcing companies to rethink authentication and access. What was once an afterthought in infrastructure planning now must be treated as a core security function from the beginning, especially for Apple fleets.

Apple has been building toward Declarative Device Management for a few years, but at WWDC 2025 earlier this summer, it became clear that the transition is over. DDM is not a future concept or an option for Apple fleets. It is now how Apple expects organizations to manage updates, apps, and policies across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro. This is a technical and mental change and a vendor litmus test for IT teams. If your device management provider is not fully committed to DDM, Apple just gave you a reason to start planning your transition and the tools to do so.

Apple IT teams have long struggled with the balance between local admins accounts on macOS and static or shared passwords across multiple devices. On one hand, these accounts are generally needed for updates, troubleshooting, and device recovery, but on the other, a static or shared password across multiple devices is a security problem waiting to happen. If someone leaves, you really should update them, but I suspect this often doesn’t happen. EasyLAPS aims to solve that problem by automatically rotating and securely storing each Mac’s local admin password in your device management system (more on how later). It’s a set-it-and-forget-it approach that removes one of enterprise Mac deployments’ most common weak points.

For many Mac admins, the ideal balance between security and productivity comes down to how you handle local admin rights on your fleet. Too much access creates risk. Too little access creates daily annoyance. Apple has done a great job of making it so you can operate as a Standard User day to day, but there are times when local admin rights are needed. SAP’s Privileges app has been a popular way to thread that needle by letting users elevate themselves to admin status when needed, and then return to a standard user when they are done. It gives IT teams more control while giving end users the ability to solve their own problems without waiting for a help desk ticket to be approved.

With the release of Privileges 2.4, SAP is adding new tools that make it even more flexible and reliable in enterprise environments.

As someone who had the only Mac in the company I worked for 20 years ago, it’s been a fun journey to see Apple grow so much in the enterprise, particularly the Mac. Macs have quietly become the go-to device for a lot of modern knowledge work, and with that comes a growing reality as AI functionality becomes baked into everything. AI tools are everywhere. Some are built into apps employees already use. Others show up through the browser or get installed without any oversight. Frankly, AI usage is the biggest examples of Shadow IT I’ve ever seen. Most of these tools are completely invisible to IT.

Time Machine still works great. It’s one of those Apple features that quietly does its job, but it also feels like something from another era in terms of technology. It was built for a time when people backed up to a local drive under their desk or a shared volume down the hall at the office. That’s not how modern businesses work anymore. If Apple wanted to support the enterprise, Managed Apple Accounts would come with built-in cloud backup. That doesn’t exist. Apple hasn’t built it. So, companies like Backblaze are stepping in to solve the problem that Apple won’t.

Migrating between Device Management Services (DMS) usually involved full device wipes, custom scripts, and hoping everything re-enrolled properly. Some vendors leaned into that pain. They’d offer bargain pricing in year one, then quietly ratchet it up over time. Because what were IT teams going to do? Switching DMS (previously MDM) vendors meant hours of manual work or rebuilding devices from scratch, and employees really wouldn’t see much difference.

It’s time to retire the idea that “MDM is all you need.” We are past that with Apple in the enterprise. What we need now is a shift in mindset. Pushing configuration profiles and deploying apps to the Mac is just a piece of a larger puzzle to making Apple the best endpoint in the enterprise. The real work happens when you start thinking about the entire service portfolio around Apple devices. That’s where success with Apple in the enterprise happens.

Apple waited a long time to roll out Managed Apple IDs (now known as Managed Apple Accounts), and in the process, it created a problem that’s now deeply embedded in many organizations. For years, employees used personal Apple IDs with their work email addresses, because there wasn’t another option. IT teams had no visibility, no control, and no good way to untangle the mess. That all started to change a few years ago, but with WWDC 25 and the fall software updates, Apple is finally giving IT visibility into solving the problem.

One of the biggest upgrades in Apple’s 2025 fall releases for IT administrators is automating migrations between device management services. Before this update, switching platforms meant a lot of manual work, scripting, edge cases, and user disruption. With iOS 26 and macOS 26, Apple now supports direct migrations without wiping devices or losing app data. For IT teams that work with Apple, this is a huge win.

Passkey technology has been a “gradually, then suddenly” shift in my daily life. I was hearing about it for years, then a few sites supported it, and now it’s more likely than not that a new site will support it. It’s one of the easiest security upgrades you can make at work and at home. With Apple’s upcoming fall release, it’s getting even better.
