Apple has now publicly announced some of the new enterprise and education targeted features of iOS 7, and while all of the newly announced features are exciting, the most important one is the addition of App Store license management.
Apple Configurator was updated to version 1.3 on June 18, 2013. With the new update, some new features were added, some old features returned, and some things have changed. UPDATE: back ups are NOT encrypted... Sorry folks!
One of the biggest announcements from Apple with OS X Mavericks was not part of the WWDC 2013 keynote. Instead, it is buried deep in a technical document on Apple's site. This is the announcement that the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) is being deprecated in favor of Server Message Block version 2 (SMB2).
Apple has posted a document highlighting the core technologies of OS X Mavericks, which includes some changes from Mountain Lion. Among the new features is a change to the default file sharing protocol from AFP to SMB2. OS X has long supported SMB, but AFP has remained the default.
Apple is doing a Live Stream for WWDC 2013 this year. Go to this page for the stream.
