Updated on 6/15/20263 Minutes to read

MobiHeal provides a complete management framework for corporate-owned iPhones and iPads — from initial enrollment and provisioning to daily administration and device retirement. This overview summarizes the key tools and modules available for managing company-issued Apple devices, with links to detailed guides for each area.

Corporate-owned Apple devices can be enrolled into MobiHeal using multiple enrollment methods depending on organizational requirements and deployment scale. Enrollment automatically applies assigned configurations, policies, and management settings to the device.

  • Apple Configurator Enrollment — Prepare and supervise corporate-owned iPhones and iPads using Apple Configurator before enrolling them into MobiHeal. Ideal for devices that need to be manually configured or are not assigned through Apple Business Manager.
  • Apple Business Manager Enrollment — Integrate Apple Business Manager with MobiHeal to automatically enroll devices during activation. Ideal for large-scale deployments and zero-touch provisioning.

Policy Configuration

Every corporate-owned Apple device is governed by MobiHeal policies that define security requirements, network settings, device restrictions, and compliance rules. Policies are applied automatically and enforced continuously throughout the device lifecycle.

  • Security settings — Passcode requirements, device encryption, biometric authentication, and account restrictions.
  • Network controls — Wi-Fi, VPN, email, certificate, and proxy configurations.
  • Device restrictions — Camera controls, AirDrop restrictions, App Store controls, and system feature management.
  • OS update management — Control and schedule iOS and iPadOS software updates across managed devices.
  • Compliance enforcement — Monitor compliance status and take administrative actions when devices violate security requirements.

Remote Device Management

Manage corporate-owned Apple devices remotely from the MobiHeal console without requiring physical access to the hardware. Administrators can perform management actions directly from the Managed Devices inventory.

  • Lock Device — Remotely lock a device to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Erase Device — Completely wipe a lost, stolen, or retired device.
  • Restart Device — Remotely restart supported supervised devices when required.
  • Refresh Policies — Push the latest configurations and policies immediately.
  • Remove Management — Retire devices and remove organizational management when necessary.
  • Push Content — Deliver documents, files, and resources directly to managed devices.
