    I mean…they could have just said no and used a company phone, right? What am I missing? This just seems like they were telling people they could have their personal phone serve as a work phone as long as it was an iPhone because Apple is confident they can put their software on it for remote management.

    If someone working for Apple didn’t know they are giving up some privacy by using their personal phone as a company managed work phone, then I’m not sure what they’ve learned in their tech career. I just worked at the Genius Bar as a college kid, and even I understood that—thus I never used my personal phone for work things and just used one of the hundreds of devices that were available for employees to use at work.

        Again, I asked “what am I missing.”

        So…what am I missing? They installed company management software on their personal phone and they weren’t forced to.

          you’re missing a brain and spine.

          apple is “encouraging” employees to use personal devices for work then “getting access” to that employee’s personal info.
