Support has ended for Apple profile-based user enrollment with Company Portal
Apple supports two types of manual enrollment methods for users and devices in bring-your-own-device (BYOD) scenarios: profile-based enrollment and account-driven enrollment. Apple has ended support for profile-based user enrollment, known in Intune as user enrollment with Company Portal. This method was their privacy-focused BYOD enrollment flow that used managed Apple IDs. As a result of this change, Intune has ended support for profile-based user enrollment with Company Portal. Users can no longer enroll devices targeted with this enrollment profile type. Devices already enrolled with this profile type aren't impacted by this change, so you can continue to manage them in the admin center and receive Microsoft Intune technical support. Less than 1% of Apple devices across all Intune tenants are currently enrolled this way, so this change doesn't affect the majority of enrolled devices.

There is no change to profile-based device enrollment with Company Portal, the default enrollment method for BYOD scenarios. Devices enrolled via Apple automated device enrollment also remain unaffected.

We recommend account-driven user enrollment as a replacement method for devices. For more information about your BYOD enrollment options in Intune, see:

• Account-driven user enrollment
• Web-based device enrollment
• Device enrollment with Compa3ny Portal (default enrollment method for BYOD scenarios)

Intune now supports iOS/iPadOS 16.x as the minimum version
Later this year, we expect iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 to be released by Apple. Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Company Portal and Intune app protection policies (APP, also known as MAM), will require iOS/iPadOS 16 and higher shortly after the iOS/iPadOS 18 release.

Note
Userless iOS and iPadOS devices enrolled through Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) have a slightly nuanced support statement due to their shared usage. For more information, go to Support statement for supported versus allowed iOS/iPadOS versions for user-less devices.

Intune now supports macOS 13.x as the minimum version
With Apple's release of macOS 15 Sequoia, Microsoft Intune, the Company Portal app, and the Intune MDM agent will now require macOS 13 (Ventura) and later.

Note
