- wNk6A23YB 10y agoThe iPhone is not a better professional device than a BB OS device from an organizational standpoint. For instance as an MDM administrator you can't control the OS version of company devices other than saying it must be within a range for the device to connect to company resources. This creates a risk that users will update the OS before a required app supports the new version. You also can not capture SMS/iMessage data which leaves regulated industries needing third party solutions which are not carrier agnostic (eg Smarsh). Apple is slowly catching up with features like DEP, VPP, and supervised mode but it has a long way to go.
