FWIW, on our iPhones, only I have iTunes on my mac, none of our users (win7) have it. I use it along with the iPhone config utility to configure the phones.
ours are owned by the Business, not the users, so there is nothing for them to do but charge their phones. we don't allow them to use personal devices, or to install apps they want. I do all the updates, of course we only have 15 phones and only allow 3 apps so there is not much work in the way of updating. we have all the phones tied to one apple ID, and we have cloud syncing turned off, but have find my iPhone turned on, this way I can log in and find everyone's phones. ----------------- Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?
