Why Apple products are the best choice for business

Is it design, quality or user-friendliness - or all of the above? The fact is that there are many valid arguments in favor of using Apple products in the company:

Usability

Simple, intuitive handling is a key argument - and not just for Apple natives. iPhone, iPad and Mac work together seamlessly and have many features in common. You and your talents are therefore often already familiar with the devices and can start working on tasks immediately.

Quality and reliability

Apple products are durable and known for their high quality and reliability. They retain their value over a longer period, so you will benefit from their high residual value when you upgrade. This makes them a good investment.

Security

All Apple products are by design engineered to protect personal and corporate information. Software and hardware are made for each other, with advanced security built into the chip - without any add-ons or additional purchases.

Easy integration and management

As employees are increasingly mobile and often no longer work solely in the office, simple deployment without manual configuration is essential these days. With Apple Business Manager, devices can be automatically deployed, instantly registered in the MDM system, and used immediately. Settings are securely transferred via internet connection (OTA) to give teams access to services from the company. Apps can be loaded in the background based on the individual user profile - all without manual configuration.

Should you ever need support: UMB is there for you to efficiently manage, monitor, and secure your Apple devices.

App ecosystem

The iOS and macOS ecosystem provide access to a wide range of apps that can help businesses with various tasks and workflows. Over 235,000 business apps in the App Store, including Microsoft 365, Zoom, Salesforce, Box and many more, offer plenty of opportunities to be creative, innovative, and collaborative.

Sustainability

Energy-efficient, reusable and largely made from recycled materials - these are Apple products. Thanks to their durability, many Apple products can be reused, extending their life cycle even further.

Apple introduced its first carbon-neutral products with the new Apple Watch family, marking an important milestone for "Apple 2030" - an ambitious strategy to become carbon-neutral across the entire value chain by the year 2030.
