We have been looking closely at one of the most routine, but time-consuming parts of managing Apple devices at scale: wiping and getting them ready for the next user. It’s a simple process on paper, but in reality, the work doesn’t end with the wipe. Devices still need to be set up again, connected, and brought back under management.
So we asked, what if a wiped device didn’t have to start from scratch every single time?
Enter: Return to Service
This isn’t just another wipe action. It redefines what happens after the wipe.
With Return to Service, when an iPhone or iPad is erased, it doesn’t come back waiting for setup. It automatically re-enrolls into management, with key configurations like Wi-Fi, language, and region already in place.
No setup screens to go through. No need to manually prepare the device again. It’s ready to go, almost immediately.
Keep an eye on our Release Notes, for the official rollout. In the meantime, stay tuned to What’s Cooking for more sneak peeks at what’s on the way!
