Apple's really late to this.

Apple is “late” to everything which is why it’s the leader

Being early is the same as being wrong and there’s no business value in costly exploration of new territory at least in the 21st century

Name me a single company that is still in business and dominating a market based on being first to market with a new product.

I wonder if this was timed to lineup with the MacBook Neo launch, which makes the idea of equipping your entire company with Mac laptops a lot more compelling from a cost perspective.

It's kinda crazy it took Apple this long to make this.

I've worked with two agencies now that used only Macs across the business and had a really fun time signing in to and integrating 58 Google services every time they hired someone new.

It's possible people may continue to use Google Workspaces in these places, however, the fact that there was never even an Apple option was always wild to me.

599$ serviceable MacBooks, easy to use MDM, Cloud, Email and Calendar and flat-fee AppleCare all baked in?

New businesses under 50 employees are going to eat this up like there's no tomorrow.

I'd be scared if I was certain Redmond corporation who makes their money on 365 and Intune.

I assume this is a SaaS by Apple which covers some parts of Workday and Google suite for the beginning

They're basically planning to enter the market where Microsoft has dominant position.

How does this differ from the existing "Business Essentials" tool? The landing page for each looks like much the same product, at least the MDM stuff does? > https://business.apple.com/preview > https://www.apple.com/business/essentials/

Email, Calendar and company directory built in, custom domains in emails I think... It's more like a MS365 basic version. Which for most small teams is more than enough
