What’s new in managing Apple devices

A Podkey summary of What’s new in managing Apple devices, from WWDC 2026.Apple just made a pretty clear statement about where it wants to be with business and education IT: bigger global reach, more automation, and a lot less manual cleanup work. The headline moves are Apple Business expanding to more than 200 countries and regions, a fresh set of APIs for deeper workflow automation, and a whole batch of declarative management features that are now firmly in the real world, not sitting on a roadmap slide somewhere. And around that, there are some very practical upgrades for admins, from bulk subscription licensing and smoother Mac migrations to better privacy prompts, stronger app security, and smarter sign-in tools.Apple Business goes widerMore APIs, more automationSubscriptions finally fit the bulk-buy modelDeclarative management is here nowA smoother Mac migrationReal-time status and better fleet health signalsAppleCare logs and content cachingSecurity and app control on macOSPrivacy prompts and platform SSOThis podcast was created with Podkey.
