Mosyle, the sole Apple Unified Platform, claims that over 45,000 organizations rely on its single professional‑grade solution to deploy, manage, and secure Apple devices at work. The company argues that the current enterprise software pricing model forces customers to pay for single‑sign‑on (SSO) only on the most expensive tiers, creating security gaps.

CEO Tim Bender stated the release date is a deliberate strategy, arguing that players focused on GTA’s high‑profile launch will instead discover Blacksmith Master’s niche gameplay.
