Preparing iOS devices at scale has always been tedious, but Telepod is changing that with its latest feature: Assisted DFU Mode activation. Explicitly designed for USB-C devices, this feature eliminates the need for IT teams to remember model-specific steps. Just plug it in, and you’re done. Telepod is a powerful automation tool that simplifies iOS device management with customizable workflows, making MDM switching and bulk setups effortless.
Whether deploying new iOS devices or recycling old ones, Assisted DFU Mode is a great feature for IT teams managing large volumes of iPhones and iPods.
About Apple @ Work: Bradley Chambers managed an enterprise IT network from 2009 to 2021. Through his experience deploying and managing firewalls, switches, a mobile device management system, enterprise grade Wi-Fi, 1000s of Macs, and 1000s of iPads, Bradley will highlight ways in which Apple IT managers deploy Apple devices, build networks to support them, train users, stories from the trenches of IT management, and ways Apple could improve its products for IT departments.
How it works
Automatic Detection: Telepod identifies all connected devices and marks those already in DFU Mode with a clear “DFU” icon.
Quick Activation: To activate DFU Mode, simply connect a device to the Mac host’s DFU port, move it to the hub, and repeat the process for the next device.
Batch Processing: Once all devices are connected, a single workflow restores their operating systems to the latest version, ensuring consistency and saving time.
Built to integrate with hubs from Kallysta and Cambrionix, Telepod’s Assisted DFU Mode offers reliability and efficiency for even the largest fleets.
Why its helpful
For IT teams, this feature eliminates the hassle of manual DFU activations. No more fumbling with buttons or memorizing model-specific steps. Assisted DFU Mode ensures every device is restored quickly and correctly, letting technicians focus on the bigger picture—deployments and policies, not details.
It’s perfect for setup in mass and sorting workflows, reducing downtime and streamlining your entire device preparation process.
Early access
Assisted DFU Mode is part of Telepod pre-release 2.25, available today in Early Access. With this new feature, Telepod redefines what’s possible in iOS lifecycle management. This is a tool worth exploring if you’re managing Apple hardware at scale. Learn more about Telepod on its website.
