Details:

Summary:
Microsoft Intune will soon require iOS/iPadOS 16 or higher after the release of iOS/iPadOS 18. Organizations managing iOS/iPadOS devices should check Intune reporting to identify affected devices and users, and use Intune controls to manage OS versions. Apple User Enrollment with Company Portal support is ending.

Details:
As mentioned in MC803005, later this year, we expect iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 to be released by Apple. Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Company Portal and Intune app protection policies (APP, also known as MAM), will require iOS/iPadOS 16 and higher shortly after the iOS/iPadOS 18 release.
