Today, Apple announced a new offering called Business Essentials, a subscription for small businesses with up to 500 employees.
“Small businesses are at the core of our economy, and we’re proud that Apple products play a role in helping these companies grow,” Apple vice president Susan Prescott said. “Apple Business Essentials is designed to help streamline every step of employee device management within a small business — from setup, onboarding, and upgrading, to accessing fast service and prioritized support, all while keeping data backed up and secure, so companies can focus on running their business.”
