iPhone 12
all new design? looks like a “Back to the Future” iPhone5, but infact with quite competitive harware improvements: 5G speed, A14 Bionic, Ceramic Shield, Edge‑to‑edge OLED display, Night mode on every camera and finall LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) to measure object distance, from size mini to max
iPhone 12 mini at $699
iPhone 12 s at $799
iPhone 12 Pro at $999
Phone 12 Pro Max at $1,099
MagSafe
also there are still wireless charging options but not tuned, cutout for the clock in cases with magnetic clips and apple “enable an all new ecosystem” mean even more money
after the more or less disappointing keynote in september “Time Flies” with e.g. the iPadAir this was inspiring in terms of:
… if you want to test or troubleshoot your mobile webpage or browser app it’s quite tricky from desktop – mobile webapplication deliver content based on the browsers user agent – there are severals browser plugins to switch the agent – but all major browser offer a build in feature to change the behaviour
google chrome
in settings > more tools > developer tools (Crtl + Shift + I) below network conditions your able to switch user agent – e.g. search at google to display
microsoft edge and internet explorer
F12 developer tools (press F12) > Emulation opens an onboard user agent switcher
mozilla firefox
webpage is loaded in same way an iPad would do – type about:config in addressbar, search for useragent and create a new entry
string: general.useragent.override
value: Mozilla/5.0(iPad; CPU OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26(KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5355d Safari/8536.25
macOS safari
enable in settings > advanced the option show develop menu in menu bar
iOSdevices
since iOS13 / iPadOS – safari browser of the apple tablet can switch between mobile and desktop presentation of a webpage, as shown in the video below
android devices
install e.g. Rocket Browser to test the behavoir of other user agents, in Settings > General Settings is it possible to change the user agent – developed android webapps can define an own user agent with java code webview.getSettings().setUserAgentString(MyString);
test your Browser features here and see what’s your browser capable of
tim cook recently spoke about user data and privacy, while criticizing technology companies, like google or facebook
iOS is enterprise’s first choice for mobile activity, egnyte‘s enterprise insight showed a clear weighting and content is getting more more mobile
the biggest change since iOS5 introduced supervised devices and open-in management debuted in iOS7
iOS 13 will available in fall 2019 – since google is pushing hard with android enterprise to fit business needs, with it’s buildin containerization based on samsung’s KNOX – iOS 13 provide more granular security and better privacy restriction
enrollment methods
there are already rolled out thousands of iOS devices with either manually installing a mdm profile (uamdm) or centralized with device enrollment program (dep) to get the device under control of a unified endpoint management (uem) – additionally you can enable your iOS device as supervised either while dep enrolled or via apple configurator connected to a mac
newly added – user enrollment – previously an administrator of a managed device was able to retrieve the installed apps, remove the passcode or wipe the entire device – at least the privacy controls of the registered uem prohibit this features to individuals – with user enrollment there are huge improvements to the users privacy
user needs to login with managed apple id
uem unable to retrieve device information like IMEI, serial or mac address
private apps aren’t reported to uem
no control about device passcode or to wipe the entire device
still the configuration of wifi, vpn or exchange accounts will available
other existing restrictions reserved for supervised devices, see listing below

Sign in with Apple vs. managed Apple ID
while sign in with apple is the approach to to compete with google or facebook as a identity provider (idp) for external services, for business on the other hand managed Apple IDs were so far to manage functions of Apple Business Manager, since WWDC 2019 it’s necessary to register with user enrollment, enterprise create additional account’s for byod user to add to their device, keeps data completely separated between both accounts, hopefully compared to now:
iPadOS
along with iOS13 apple separate to path between iPhone and iPad with a standalone OS, finally iPadOS can provide more feature to the tablet, a classic desktop replacement could possible – view the demo below
stay tuned for final release around mid-september with likely new 2019 iPhone
