however, it is quite neat for Apple if employees are "voluntarily" giving up their privacy by merging their accounts and indirectly allowing Apple to monitor their whole digital identity.

Apple is then "just" monitoring the corporate user account for security reasons, it was the employee who decided to use the same account for private purposes...

>Always found it odd that Apple don't let you have a second separate business profile to switch your phone to for work - especially when you don't necessarily want to be bringing browser history/personal apps into your workplace or wifi.

I'm guessing it's the same reason they don't offer multiple accounts on iPad. They would rather you bought more devices.

As the maker of the iPhone, shouldn't Apple just give each employee a work phone running company's account?

Yes. But that doesn’t solve the problem for every other business or even families that want to share devices between roles or people.

I knew guys at Facebook who told me this and it deterred me from ever wanting to work there (among other things).
