While the world has obsessed over iPhone 6 details such as its size and whether it will use a sapphire screen and whether Apple will finally reveal the long-rumored iWatch later today, a more important development has been happening to the iPhone and iPad: iOS 8. Announced in June and likely to ship this month, iOS 8 heralds a major shift in how iOS apps work with each other and the rest of the world.
Although I've been a beta tester of iOS 8 since June, the import of these changes wasn't so obvious as a user. To see the bigger picture, it took a conversation with Ojas Rege, vice president of strategy at MobileIron, a mobile management company that tends to see management as a way to enable people to get the most out of their devices, not as a way to stymie users. It should help you build guardrails, not prisons. Rege was surprised that so many IT execs he's spoken to haven't paid much attention to the iOS 8 beta, perhaps because it introduced very few new IT management features.
