Yes but Apple has convinced a large swath of them that they must have an iPhone to be able to have any conversation with friends simply due to the conveniences of iMessage.

They also went out of their way to make SMS conversations harder to read the text by making the green just annoying enough of a color that it actually makes it harder. There are other things but that’s the gist.

Agreed. Wasn’t sure of your work load. I would stick with WDS in that case then.

Also to piggy back off the WDS thing, SCCM (I believe) is included with Windows Volume Licensing so you could also use Task Sequences as a route to image. I built our whole imaging setup with it and only had to build one baked image because the OS needed like 120 pieces of software or something crazy like that. That’s obviously not all that it does but I prefer the flexibility of SCCM’s management alongside the imaging.

Edit: yeah it’s included if you use Microsoft 365.

Really not that hard these days.

setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall

An important note to your last one is for some of us we don’t get an option. Work does everything with Office 365? Welp, guess you gotta use Microsoft products now 🤷
