I utilize Apple hardware for both personal and professional purposes. Prior to that, I relied on a single private Apple ID for all purposes, but subsequently, I implemented device restrictions by blocking features such as Time Machine backups from syncing with my personal devices, effectively disabling them. I may reconsider enabling it until a fresh administration sync takes place again. Since that time, I exclusively use personal devices with my private Apple ID, and establish a dedicated Apple ID for my work tools.
Additionally, these Apple IDs are linked as a household, given their shared pricing structure.
I’m excited to introduce iPhone mirroring, a feature recently added to iOS 14 or later, along with Sequoia. Despite this, Handoff requires the same Apple ID to function seamlessly. Can you directly connect your iPhone to your work laptop without jailbreaking or rooting, allowing you to share files and devices between the two through a simple “beneath the hood” setup?
Although my current employer utilizes an Apple Mobile Device Management solution, their license agreements are limited to managing only macOS devices. I’ve been in discussions with them about potentially installing a Mobile Device Management (MDM) profile for my work Apple ID on my personal phone. Would this be sufficient? Wouldn’t restricting yourself to information managed within the existing work profile limit your access to a broader range of relevant data and potentially hinder the overall effectiveness of your project or task? Would the process fail to function effectively due to its reliance on being the primary or rootmost Apple ID?
Is there a reverse methodology? Can I add my personal Apple ID to my company-issued MacBook? To combine two macOS user accounts without creating a new one and enable effortless switching between them. … if attainable.
