Most corporate companies provide their employees with standard iPhones to be used for everyday official work. Thus, these iPhones need to have a number of special apps installed in them which are most commonly needed by the employees to the company to do official work. Moreover, a company may want to stop their employees from using some apps on their official phones. On the other hand, what any employee does on their personal phone is of no concern to the company.

According to Steve Troughton Smith, an iOS developer, Apple has provided the managers and top level employees of any company to define the icons and apps appearing on the home page of the company phone. Moreover, they can also blacklist the types of apps, or the specific apps from being used on any of the iPhones used by the company. On creating a required layout, the home page needs to be locked, so that the user cannot change the homepage in any way. This requires Profile Manager and also OS X Server.

This special feature which is being provided by Apple to the corporate offices it supplies its phones in bulk is quite useful and necessary. Moreover, after the issue created on the San Bernardino case, it is quite important for the company to keep a detailed account of the employees work on a company iPhone.

The OS which will allow the managers to use this facility, iOS 9.3, is still in a testing mode. Due to this, the system has not started in companies and organizations on a whole. The place Apple is actually targeting with this new technology is schools. In various schools, students are provided with iPads to do their everyday work. This technology will enable the teachers to keep the apps as well as usage of the iPads by the students under control.
