That’s particularly important on shared devices, as by making the connection between user and context, Apple would drastically reduce the chance AI responses might carry over between users in environments like hospitals, classrooms, or retail floors.

Apple has built a foundation to support shared devices with tools such as Shared iPad, Return to Service (RTS), and Authenticated Guest Mode, but the Hexnode CEO thinks Apple could go further. “RTS has the potential to offer more granular control over wipe behavior or session persistence,” Pavithran told me.
