- Are there specific settings or configurations that you recommend enabling or disabling for an educational environment?
- How can I efficiently manage app distribution to the iPads? Should I consider using VPP (Volume Purchase Program) for apps, and what’s the best approach to update or manage these apps once they’re installed?
- What security settings do you suggest applying to the iPads? How can I balance security with functionality, especially for students who may need access to certain features?
Thank you in advance!
