With the launch of iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe, the buzz around Apple Intelligence and its new capabilities is undeniable. For IT leaders, this excitement is paired with the critical task of navigating a complex enterprise migration while ensuring absolute security and compliance.
At Applivery, we see this as more than just an update; it’s a defining moment for endpoint management. That’s why we’ve identified a critical security development that isn’t on any official feature list—one that will shape the future of how you protect your corporate fleet.
From visuals to value: key enterprise advancements in Apple's 2025 updates
While Apple’s announcement is filled with exciting new consumer features, an IT leader’s job is to cut through the noise and identify what truly matters for corporate productivity and security. Beyond the stunning “Liquid Glass” design, the real value lies in a few key advancements across iOS, macOS, and iPadOS that will directly impact your workflows and security posture.
A refined user experience
The new “Liquid Glass” design isn’t just about aesthetics; it creates a more intuitive and consistent experience across all devices. For your business, this translates to faster user adoption and less friction during the company-wide migration.
Smarter, deeper automation
Apple Intelligence is now directly integrated into Shortcuts, a key step towards true Autonomous Endpoint Management. This allows for the automation of complex tasks and opens the door for powerful custom workflows that boost your team’s efficiency.
Enhanced user-level defenses
New features like Call Screening and Hold Assist empower employees to manage their own digital safety. While not a replacement for enterprise-grade security, they add a valuable new layer of defense that complements your existing corporate policies.
The iPad as a true workstation
With iPadOS 26, a completely new windowing system and an advanced Files app transform the iPad into a more powerful productivity tool for mobile and hybrid teams.
These updates undoubtedly provide a more robust and efficient ecosystem. Managing the seamless migration of your entire fleet is the first critical step. With an MDM platform like Applivery, you can easily manage Apple software updates across all your devices, ensuring a smooth, controlled, and secure rollout.
However, true enterprise readiness goes beyond a smooth deployment. While Apple fortifies the present, a new, invisible threat is already targeting your company’s future. The security conversation is no longer just about today’s risks; it’s about ensuring your sensitive data remains protected from the attacks of tomorrow. This is where Applivery takes a quantum leap forward.
What does it mean to be "Quantum-Ready," and how does Applivery make it simple?
Being “Quantum-Ready” isn’t about deploying complex new hardware. It’s a state of security where your company’s sensitive data is already protected from the future threat of quantum computers. It means proactively defending against “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attacks, ensuring that the encrypted information being captured from your devices today remains unbreakable tomorrow and beyond.
Applivery makes achieving this state incredibly simple. We are the world’s first UEM to implement post-quantum, quantum-safe protection for devices running iOS 26, macOS Tahoe, and iPadOS 26.
The simplicity lies in our philosophy of Autonomous Endpoint Management:
-
Zero friction: there are no complex configurations for your IT team.
-
Transparent to users: there are absolutely no changes to the end-user experience.
-
Always on & autonomous: The protection is automatic and works silently in the background, making intelligent security decisions without manual intervention.
Your device management workflows don’t change—they just become more secure and autonomous.
