iPhone 7 release date, rumours, features and specs

iPhone 7 in the enterprise

Apple has been working hard to boost its presence in the enterprise, primarily through partnerships with other large tech companies such as Cisco and IBM, leveraging these to create a $25 billion business selling to B2B.

While it has largely been thought these alliances have been formed to help push the use of iPads as business devices, officially they are for all products running on iOS - which includes iPhones.

Additionally, the use of iOS in business grew in Q3 2015, according to a report from Good Technology, having lost some market share to Android in the first half of the year, and has always been the most popular OS used in the enterprise.

With this in mind, it is likely, therefore, that the iPhone 7 will be a success in the enterprise although uptake will almost certainly be slower and steadier than in the consumer space.
