At WWDC, Apple introduced several updates related to network management and privacy. Here are some key points:
-
Device Management: iOS and iPadOS 18 now support multiple private cellular network payloads, allowing configuration for up to five private 5G or LTE networks. This enables more flexible network management for organizations (What’s new in device management).
-
Privacy Enhancements: macOS Sequoia introduces control over local network access, requiring apps to provide a clear usage description for accessing local networks. This is part of a broader effort to enhance privacy and security by ensuring users are informed about how their data is used (What’s new in privacy).
-
Wi-Fi Address Management: iOS 18 introduces a feature called "Rotate Wi-Fi Address," which changes the MAC address for a network approximately every two weeks to enhance privacy. This feature is also available on macOS (What’s new in privacy).
These updates reflect Apple's ongoing commitment to improving network management capabilities and enhancing user privacy across its platforms.
