Two ways to add an iPhone to Apple Business Manager (ABM): the “old school” Mac method with Apple Configurator 2 (useful when you need a wired setup/Wi-Fi profile), and the fast way using Apple Configurator for iPhone (scan at the Wi-Fi screen—no cables). I also show assigning the device to your MDM in ABM (Intune, Jamf, Kandji, etc.), and what “Release from organization” actually does. Before you start - Have ABM access and at least one MDM server set up in ABM. - For the Mac method: install Apple Configurator 2 and (if needed) create a Wi-Fi profile. - For the iPhone method: install Apple Configurator on an iPhone signed in with an ABM admin.
