Mobile Device Management (MDM) is the only effective way to restrict idevices.

All you need is a macbook and Apple Configurator.

You can remove safari, blacklist or whitelist websites, block installing apps, block deleting apps. It's really customizable.

Edit: expanded acronym.

MDM is the worst part of iOS. It undermines all of apple’s security claims, basically making iOS windows. Devices should not be able to be remotely controlled.

Yeah, no - if I provide my employees $1000 devices, I most certainly would like to be able to exercise some sort of management over them.

> making iOS windows

Baseless claims.

$1000 is irrelevant. Corporate information, and clients information (sometime including PII) is worth millions.
