Apple Vision Pro is the latest talk of the town, with its cutting-edge technology yet to be fully explored. Apple is already gearing up for the next big update, transitioning from version 1.02 of visionOS to the anticipated version 1.1.
Expected to cater primarily to app developers, visionOS 1.1 is projected to introduce Mobile Device Management (MDM) features for streamlined workplace management.
Alongside MDM, there are speculations about potential user-facing enhancements, although specifics remain under wraps. The release timeline for visionOS 1.1 is uncertain, but speculation suggests a rollout in late February or early March.
Some key features anticipated in visionOS 1.1 include:
1. Mobile Device Management (MDM): This feature aims to simplify workplace user management, offering support for various functions such as account-driven enrollment, app installations, Managed Apple IDs, network configurations, single sign-on, and compatibility with Exchange and Google Workspace.
2. Reset Device: In the event of a forgotten passcode, users may no longer need to visit an Apple Store for a reset. Insights from 9to5Mac indicate the possibility of a device reset option after multiple failed password attempts, with Activation Lock remaining active for security purposes.
3. App Placement: Users are expected to gain more flexibility in positioning volumetric scenes, allowing for closer adjustments compared to previous versions.
