#32Ahhhhhh. Ohhhhhhh. A film!
It is curious that on this page, Apple says "Watch the film to learn more" and "Watch the announcement film" whereas they always use the term "video" (or "movie" where appropriate) everywhere else in all their messaging, as far as I've noticed. I wonder what they're thinking?

#33What do you do if you need more than 2TB of storage?
Yeah I guess for "business" users who are only storing office documents 2 TB is plenty, but as a home user, I bought into iCloud Photo Library and I'm about to pass the max 2.2TB storage limit of iCloud and will have to switch to Synology Photos or something

#34Looks great. I recall Apple held out for a long time to play ball with enterprise IT, focusing on consumer. It seems like they've fully embraced the massive enterprise market.
Apple has supported enterprise device management for a long time, it has just been third parties like Jamf doing most of it until now.

#35So enterprise is the next target for Apple?
It makes sense given that this is both an area where they've historically had to deal with the competitive disadvantage of Windows having a large “built-in” market and one where they've made huge inroads with iOS.
For a small business this is especially interesting since an iPad / ChromeOS device is a better call for an awful lot of workers and this makes that switch even easier.

#36Even 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.
As far as I know you can already do that with enterprise certificates?
You can sign apps without Apple being "in the loop" and distribute them via the web with an enterprise cert. As far as pushing out updates I think you have to build your own system for that. My company uses enterprise certs and our app will notify the user when there is an update, redirect them to a web portal where they click a link, are prompted to install the app, and then the app is installed.

#37I mean... I'd like to use that to manage my family's macs/iphone!
You know what would piss me off, if I had kids; would be the lack of support the iPad, in particular - has for multi-user logins.
It would be huge for families, and it would also make parental controls way more of a breeze.
Does anyone know why this is the case? I was positive when they made iPadOS its own thing, we'd finally see this.

#38All I want from Apple is a separate environment for corpware and all of its associated baggage to run. I’d love for that profile to even acquire its own EPS bearers so that its traffic is distinct from personal traffic.
Re: Business Essentials
#39A few comments: 1. I was paying for iCloud and apple service for *YEARS* but then suddenly when I lost my phone, iCloud had no record of it. 2. I have had multiple employers in Silicon Valley who had the BYOD (Bring you own device) policy implemented but then they attached a SECONDARY DEVICE to my iCloud account and were slurping all personal records from that. 3. Show me a way to FUCKING MANAGE WHO IS ACCESSING MY D…

#40So enterprise is the next target for Apple?
Given the pricing, this strikes me more as “we’re confident enough that we’re going to grow the Mac business, that we need to offer something to enterprise to check a box so we don’t artificially limit sales.”
