The whole context here is that Apple strongly discourages its employees from having a separate work and personal phone.
Perhaps it’s a new policy, thought I, but that turned out not to be the case either. Both old and new employees routinely kept life at home separate from life at work, because presumably they see the benefits of that.
I’ve got a personal phone, and I’ve got 5 or 6 work phones/I-devices. I’ve got a personal apple-ID which still uses @mac.com, and I’ve got several @icloud.com accounts I use for testing.
All work IM and emails you send are recorded.
Every URL you visit from your work machine is logged using NTLM auth discovered user name.
Think about all that information and what your employer could take out of context.
Keep your work and personal life separate regardless of the company.
i personally find the claims weird and have never seen it anywhere. my experience is that some employees choose to use company devices as personal devices. or personal accounts as company accounts, etc.
again, the way things are today, i don't expect many apple employees to come forward and tell us the way things are.
