Apple Device Management

Manage Your Apple Devices with MDM

Apple devices are increasingly popular in workplaces, schools, and enterprises thanks to their performance, security, and user-friendly interface. But with growing adoption comes the need for centralized control, security, and automation. Whether you're handling ten iPhones or a thousand MacBooks, managing them manually isn’t scalable.

This is where Apple MDM (Mobile Device Management) comes in. With the right Apple MDM solution, IT teams can simplify deployment, enforce policies, push apps remotely, and keep all Apple devices secure and compliant—without lifting each one off the desk.

Let’s explore how Apple Device Management works and how 42Gears helps you take full control of your Apple ecosystem.

What is Apple MDM (Mobile Device Management)?

MDM solution providers leverage the Apple MDM framework to remotely manage, configure, and secure Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TVs. Whether you're deploying a fleet of iPhones or managing MacBooks across your organization, MDM ensures your devices stay secure, compliant, and efficient—right out of the box.

Why Do You Need Apple MDM Framework?

Managing Apple devices manually can be time-consuming and inconsistent. MDM solutions built on the Apple MDM framework provide centralized management of all enrolled devices, enabling IT administrators to:

Automated Device Enrollment via Apple Business Manager(ABM) or Manual enrollment through MDM portals.
Centralized enforcement for security policies and configurations.
Remotely push apps and updates with Apple Volume Purchase Program.
Remote Lock or wipe for lost/stolen devices.

Whether you're managing 10 or 10,000 devices, Apple MDM ensures consistency, security, and scalability.

How Apple MDM Works

Enrollment

Devices are enrolled into MDM either manually, through Automated Device Enrollment using Apple School/Business Manager, or by using Apple Configurator.

Configuration

Once enrolled, IT admins can push configuration profiles that set policies, Wi-Fi, VPN, email settings, and more.

App Management

Distribute and manage both public and in-house apps using Volume Purchase Program (VPP).

Ongoing Management

Monitor, update, and secure devices throughout their lifecycle—all from a central console.
