Features & Capabilities

Apple Configurator for iPhone streamlines adding iPhone devices (iOS 16+) and Macs with T2 or Apple Silicon into your organization's ADE-enabled management via Apple School Manager, Apple Business Manager, or Apple Business Essentials.

After signing in with a Managed Apple ID that has the Device Enrollment Manager role, you can apply a network configuration or a configuration profile to the device being added. By bringing the device near Setup Assistant on iPhone (or nearby Mac) and scanning the six-digit PIN, you can add it to your organization. The device appears as 'Added by Apple Configurator' in your admin portal, where you can assign it to an MDM server. Once enrolled, it behaves like other ADE devices, with a 30-day provisional period during which supervision and enrollment can be removed.

User Reviews

The app is consistently criticized for reliability and connectivity issues. Recurrent themes include crashes or black screens, failure to connect or recognize iPads, sign-in and account problems, and apparent dependence on macOS/Apple Business Manager workflows. A minority of users report smooth operation and praise when it works, and some find it easier than a MacBook for enrolling devices. Overall, the negatives far outweigh the positives for most reviewers.
Pros
  • When it works, the app is fast and effective.
  • It can simplify enrollment of iPads compared to using a Mac with Apple Configurator.
  • For some users it has been flawless, delivering the intended functionality.
Cons
  • Frequent instability: crashes, unresponsive launches, or 'never works properly'.
  • Connectivity and device recognition problems: failure to connect to iPads and intermittent/unreliable connections.
  • Sign-in and account issues: users report unable to sign in or having to use a specific business/admin account.
  • Requires a Mac or is not fully usable on non-Mac setups, indicating limited cross-platform support.
  • Lack of timely updates and ongoing support; long gaps between upgrades.
