What’s new for IT in the latest Mac, iPhone, and iPad updates?
Apple shipped the latest point upgrades to its operating systems for Macs, iPads, and iPhones this week, with the inclusion of 31 new emojis suggesting all the benefits are aimed at consumer users. That’s not really the case.
You need to get people updating
Part of the reason Apple likes to spice each patch with a few fillips for most users is because it knows how important it is to convince people to upgrade in timely fashion. In the context of intensifying attacks against all its platforms, ensuring everyone’s devices are as secure as they can be makes sense for platform security.
If it takes a few more emoji to convince people to upgrade, so be it. But the latest patches also carry significant tweaks for IT admins managing fleets of devices.
