#22Even roll your own apps to your employees, bypassing the AppStore review? Upd: the video suggests that there are 'collections' which distribute apps to users, but it is not clear if own apps can be included in these using Enterprise certificates.
Not enough information on that page but...doubt it?

#23I mean... I'd like to use that to manage my family's macs/iphone!

#24Could this allow per-app VPNs via MDM, e.g. one browser goes to corporate VPN, rest of device uses standard network connection?

As far as I know you can already do that with enterprise certificates?

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think that's unlikely to be a thing they're working on. You can get that from storing your files in iCloud already, and these days is there any good reason to back up the rest of your system? If I had to rebuild a system due to hardware failure the absolute last thing I'd want to do would be restore all the accumulated system cruft!
Storing files in iCloud Drive is very different from a backup I would argue. What a business would want in this case is Backblaze like functionality with versioning / restore. iCloud drive also doesn't really help you with restoring a full system like it is possible on iOS where all your settings, passwords and apps are just like you left them.
To be fair, iCloud has a password manager on MacOS / iOS that works great.

Pages/Numbers/Keynote do support versioning in-app when the doc is stored in iCloud Drive, albeit not as efficient as true versioning.

Doesn't iCloud Drive have a revision history? For example DropBox does, so Apple could add the feature.
> all your settings, passwords and apps are just like you left them
Now that most of these things come from the cloud anyway, do we need the rest of the system backed up?
I don't need to restore my system from a backup - I just log back into Creative Cloud, Jet Brains, etc.
