Plan for Change: Intune moving to support iOS/iPadOS 18 and higher later this year

🚨 The Signal: Intune will soon require iOS/iPadOS 18 or higher for managed devices. Devices unable to upgrade will lose Intune support, potentially impacting security posture and access to corporate resources.

The Impact

Users with older iOS/iPadOS devices are affected, risking unmanaged access or loss of corporate data access.

• Users with outdated devices risk losing access to corporate resources.
• Security teams face increased risk from unmanaged, non-compliant devices.
• Admins must identify and remediate non-compliant devices.
• Organisations risk non-compliance with device patching policies.

The Action

1. Navigate to Intune admin center > Devices > All devices.
2. Filter devices by OS version to identify iOS/iPadOS devices below version 18.
3. Identify users associated with non-compliant devices.
4. Communicate upgrade requirements to affected users or plan for device replacement.
5. Review ADE userless device support for specific OS version allowances.
