Apple ID rumour

If they are not designed to be used as part of a network why do the come with TCP/IP and WiFI support?

 

I think what he meant by that (and what he said to me on the phone) was they're not designed to be used in a shared environment or in a corporate style network. He clearly stated they're meant for home use and the end consumer as a personal device.

Giving a device Wifi and TCP/IP capabilities doesn't mean they can be integrated onto an existing network with users in mind.

 

Edit: Sorry forgot to mention the chap in question that I spoke to was a top manager at Apple Ireland, it took me around 3 weeks of consistent calling to get him on the phone and when I did he apologised and agreed there was nothing we could do in our situation as the devices in question weren't made with a corporate network in mind. So this wasn't a spotty pubescent teen at the helpdesk not knowing what he was talking about. He also mentioned that I wasn't the first school to talk to him about this.

 

Hope Tim Cook doesn't see that, somebody will be for the high jump!

 

Haha, to be honest though he did overlook the fact that a member of staff forgot to drill in extra USB ports into the case on a new MacBook, so maybe he won't be too bothered
