Apple has officially launched Apple Business, a new platform designed for organizations of all sizes, now available in over 200 countries and regions. This suite combines Apple Business Essentials, Apple Business Manager, and Apple Business Connect into one dashboard, simplifying IT management. A significant highlight is the introduction of free core mobile device management features, allowing businesses to implement security settings and app installations without a subscription fee. This facilitates a zero-touch setup for devices like the MacBook Neo and iPhone, ensuring they are ready for use immediately upon powering on. The platform also supports Managed Apple Accounts for security and privacy, and integrates with identity providers like Google Workspace. Additionally, businesses can create custom email and calendar services directly through the interface. Looking ahead, Apple plans to introduce sponsored listings in Apple Maps this summer for users in the U.S. and Canada, enhancing brand visibility.
