I run around with a group and when the guilty verdict was rendered, oh my - the amount that started digging in surprised me. It’s a group that typically doesn’t delve into it and I saw that as a big plus. Now I’m not so sure what to think other than just keep my mouth shut.
I get this as being a bit of a hurdle, but wouldn’t a good option in hind sight be to create a separate work related apple account based on your work email? I’ve done that in the past with various companies for iPhones and MacBooks. Makes it cleaner to return the device and doesn’t compromise my personal account should they ultimately need my credentials on the non-owned-by-me device.
