Marking 13 consecutive years of offering same-day support, Jamf continues helping organizations succeed with Apple
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in managing and securing Apple at work, today announced same-day support for Apple’s iOS 18, iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, visionOS 2, watchOS 11 and macOS Sequoia releases, which became generally available today. Through extensive testing in Apple’s beta releases, Jamf ensures compatibility for Apple’s fall releases across its entire solution portfolio.
“We provide same-day support so our customers can reap the benefits of Apple’s latest innovations, while knowing critical management and security workflows will remain intact,” said John Strosahl, CEO of Jamf. “Whether they want to upgrade devices, purchase new hardware or experiment with new features Apple is offering, they can rest easy knowing all of Jamf’s products are compatible and will continue supporting their security, management and business objectives.”
Providing compatibility is crucial for two major reasons:
-
Protection from security vulnerabilities: Out-of-date software is less secure software. By enabling Jamf customers to upgrade their devices as soon as they’d like, Jamf ensures the first line of device security – up-to-date software – is available to all customers.
-
Minimizing downtime: Jamf provides its customers with the most efficient upgrade paths that do not break existing management and security workflows.
Jamf is compatible with the following operating systems:
-
macOS Sequoia
-
iOS 18
-
iPadOS 18
-
tvOS 18
-
visionOS 2
-
watchOS 11
In addition to providing compatibility, Jamf continuously designs its offerings to enable easy adoption and success with the latest Apple features that are critical for Jamf’s customer base.
Top of mind for many customers is Apple Intelligence, which Apple announced will be made generally available next month. Jamf is excited to help its customers unlock the full potential of this innovative technology and further its mission to help customers succeed with Apple.
Organizations can test Apple Intelligence features with iOS and iPadOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 betas. Jamf supports the beta MDM restrictions to allow or disallow Apple Intelligence features from Writing Tools, Image Playground, Image Wand (iOS/iPadOS only) and Genmoji.
The following features are highlights of Jamf’s support for our same-day release. You can learn about all of the new MDM features Jamf supports here.
Automated Device Enrollment for Apple Vision Pro
With Jamf Pro, organizations can use Automated Device Enrollment to enroll institutionally owned Apple Vision Pro devices with Jamf Pro. As soon as a user turns their device on, that device is enrolled and configured right off the bat, eliminating any IT or user interaction. This ensures they are able to reap the full benefits of spatial computing wherever they go, while complying with company standards.
