In a perfectly timed release, I just got the last iPad in our fleet onto 26.2.1 this morning so of course 26.3 dropped 30 minutes later.
It takes a dozen or so minutes to do a point update on a low-end phone, though.
If I were you I would take this opportunity to line up every iDevice your family owns on the table and make them race to see who can update the fastest.
Unless something explodes, it won’t even take 30 minutes.
Oh haha no this is hundreds of iPads across a number of locations, and a lot more harassing folks than I’d like to get their devices turned on so they can update and meet our audit requirements.
You would think if I’ve had to contact your department the last three updates in a row to get it done, and the only check ins I see for months are during the updates, maaaaybe your team doesn’t actually need these devices, Brad, but no their VP just has to have them.
Ugh, Brad is the worst
This is not something I’m looking forward to as our company grows. Auto update on Mac’s and iPads don’t work for shit. That’s one thing Microsoft has going for them.
We’re using Jamf and it makes it at least tolerable. Make sure to get Apple Business Manager going so you can load devices in as Supervised, otherwise you lose the little forced update controls you have. But yeah when Intune looks like the reasonable solution it’s all bad.
