Apple Aims for Deeper Enterprise Penetration with iPhone 4 and iOS 4
Friday, 27th August 2010
Published by:  Apple's iPhone 4 and iOS 4 were announced at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference on June 7 in San Francisco. Apple claimed 1,500 incremental improvements to the new iOS operating system and over 100 new features for end-users. Many of these new capabilities address some of the iPhone's essential shortcomings in terms of enterprise IT integration and security. They add advanced video capture and video calling capabilities and limited background multitasking to more robust security, as well as new Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs) for more comprehensive mobility management. Aberdeen has been tracking iPhone enterprise adoption for over two and a half years; despite imminent encroachment by Google Android, it is expected that enterprise iPhone adoption will continue unabated for the near-to-mid term. This Analyst Insight examines the iPhone's advances in multi-tasking, security, and software distribution in the context of Aberdeen's most recent research on enterprise mobility. |
