Can I enroll my personal iPhone in MDM myself? And if I can have MDM with just my personal phone, do I need to buy some kind of subscription for it from Apple? Or pay some third-party?

I thought MDM was only for enterprise businesses and schools and universities, but I may very well be mistaken about that.

Apple supplies a free application for managing MDM.

  • ^^^ Highly recommend this. If you are technical enough, a family managed Apple Configuration is more than enough to protect for most situations and from most threat actors.

    If you're threat actor has the resource to break that, get a CC or a good lawyer on retainer I guess.

  • This saved me one time when I was gifted an Apple TV without a remote.

    No way to add a WiFi profile, thus no way to use an iPhone as a remote. No ethernet available either.

    Configured a WiFi profile, uploaded to the Apple TV and could finalize the setup.

    It’s quite a powerful too for initial setup.
