Hardened iPhone.

Minimalist.

The Hardened iPhone is tailored for businesses, iPhone only users and those needing flawless Google apps functionality. If you need managed security policies for your team or run your business through Google workspace (formally G suite) we recommend using a Hardened iPhone. These are Encrypted phones by default.

We custom configure the iPhone to remove as much of the tracking features as possible from the proprietary (closed source) Apple iOS. We remove the bloatware, disable unnecessary notifications and configure the user interface for a Minimalist appearance with zero distractions.

Optional for Authorized Resellers; We provide enhanced Privacy and Security on the Hardened iPhone through Mobile Device Management (MDM) for a fixed monthly fee per device.

Some of the core functions of our MDM services on encrypted phones include:

  • Updating device applications and Privacy and Security policies in a scalable manner
  • Ensuring all device operating systems maintain a Minimalist appearance, reducing distractions
  • Ensuring that all devices are configured to a consistent standard
  • Ensuring that devices perform essential functions consistently
  • Being able to efficiently diagnose and troubleshoot equipment remotely
  • Over-the-air distribution of applications, data and configuration settings

Please note: These are encrypted phones, however they are not open source, they are designed by Apple running their proprietary (closed source) iOS. The software code is not accessible to the global community of developers for review and is therefore not open source. Learn more about privacy and security in iOS.
