At this year’s WWDC, Apple announced a major update that will make life much easier for IT teams and business owners. With the upcoming release of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS 26, Apple is introducing a built-in MDM Migration feature that allows organizations to seamlessly move their Apple devices to Microsoft Intune without the hassle of wiping, re-enrolling, or losing configurations.
Why This Matters
For businesses, device management is often split across multiple systems, which can create unnecessary complexity, security gaps, and added costs. Migrating all devices into a single platform like Microsoft Intune streamlines management, improves security, and reduces support headaches.
Until now, switching from one MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution to another required time-consuming steps, factory resets, and significant disruption for end users. With Apple’s new OS 26 update, that pain point is gone.
Key Benefits of Apple’s MDM Migration
No Factory Reset Needed – Devices move to Intune without being wiped.
Minimal User Impact – Users only approve a simple migration prompt.
Preserves Apps & Settings – Managed apps and configurations remain intact.
Streamlined IT Operations – Manage all Apple devices in one secure place: Intune.
Future-Proofing Security – Consolidating into Microsoft Intune strengthens compliance, conditional access, and overall security posture.
How It Works
Devices must run OS 26 and be enrolled in Apple Business Manager (ABM).
Admins trigger the migration through ABM.
Users receive a prompt to confirm the switch.
The device is automatically enrolled in Intune, with apps and policies re-applied.
IT verifies compliance in the Intune Admin Center.
What Businesses Should Do Now
Prepare Devices: Ensure your Apple devices are ready for OS 26.
Confirm ABM Enrollment: Verify all devices are linked to Apple Business Manager.
Plan a Migration Strategy: Start with a pilot group, then expand across the organization.
Communicate with Users: Let employees know they will see a migration notification.
Work with a Trusted Partner: A smooth migration requires planning, testing, and support.
