Apple launched its Business Essentials plan for small businesses earlier this year. For a single monthly subscription, the program provides device management, cloud storage, and support.
Additionally, adding AppleCare+ would streamline the procedure for servicing and fixing those devices for businesses.
“It’s a brand-new service from Apple that combines device management, storage, and support into a single subscription for small businesses, targeted to up to about 500 employees,” Apple’s SVP of enterprise product marketing, Susan Prescott.
“It’s designed to make managing Apple’s devices, keeping them up and running, as fun as using them–or, at least, as easy as using them”
One of the key features is that it is intended for small businesses that may not have an IT department. In that situation, the small business owner is frequently held accountable.
Up to 3 devices per user can be managed much more easily, apps and services can be assigned in advance, and support and repairs can be taken care of with Business Essentials.
“This new service leads to invaluable time savings for customers including those without dedicated IT staff–that they can invest back into their business,” said Prescott.
Now, Apple and T-Mobile are working together to offer an iPhone 13 with Business Essentials and AppleCare+ as part of a $50 monthly subscription when you have at least six lines. “The new Business Unlimited Ultimate+ for iPhone plan from T-Mobile will combine Business Essentials with blazing fast 5G service, a powerful new iPhone 13, and more making IT even easier for small businesses, so they can do their best work,” said Prescott in a statement announcing the new plan.
