Pair Locking Your iPhone
I do wonder if supervising devices lowers security overall.<p>Apple has been moving a number of the 'heavy hand' management permissions to only apply to supervised devices - for example "global http proxy" [1], which can be loaded onto a device through safari on a link to an plist on an unlocked device or through a management server (MDM), forces all http/https traffic though a proxy only applies on supervised devices.<p>Also Apple announced at WWDC [3] that blocking host pairing in Configurator is going away in favor of the restriction setting blocking it [2]<p>[1] <a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/globalhttpproxy" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/g...</a><p>[2] allowHostPairing restriction at  <a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/restrictions" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/r...</a><p>[3] <a href="https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/303/" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/303/</a>
