Leading MDM Provider Addigy Names Jason Tober Chief Executive Officer
Addigy announces MDM veteran Jason Tober as President and CEO. Tober's significant industry experience includes executive positions at Jamf, PAR Technology, Delaget, and VMware, among others.
Tober has held numerous leadership roles, most recently including serving as a General Manager with PAR Technology, which he joined through the acquisition of Delaget, where he served as CEO for nearly ten years. Prior to Delaget, Tober was VP of Sales and Marketing for Jamf, an Addigy competitor. He also held executive positions with VMware and Shavlik Technologies and was a founder of two companies after starting his career at Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) as a software developer. He currently serves on the advisory board at Incept AI, as well as a Mentor for the Minnesota Emerging Software Advisory (MESA), a mentoring organization comprised of C-level software and information technology veterans guiding early-stage software companies. Tober has a B.A. in Biology from St. Olaf College.
'Jason Tober is an established commercial operator with deep experience in go-to-market across multiple channels, including MSP's', said Rick Essex, Managing Director of PSG Equity. 'With his direct experience in the MDM market, we believe Jason will support the new wave of growth for Addigy. We're excited to partner with him and together look forward to the next stage of the Addigy journey'.
Tober steps into the role at a pivotal moment in Addigy's growth. Over the past year, the company has significantly expanded its product suite with the introduction of Addigy Amplify™ and Addigy Assist™, further enabling customers to streamline Apple device management across complex, distributed environments. As Apple strategically moves from Legacy MDM infrastructure to the new Declarative Device Management (DDM) infrastructure this Fall, Addigy offers leading DDM capabilities for MSPs and IT teams, especially as they navigate the next generation of Apple device management capabilities. Tober's appointment underscores Addigy's commitment to innovation, customer success, and category leadership in this evolving space.
Tober replaces founder and CEO Jason Dettbarn, who will remain with the company as its Chief Technology Officer, responsible for continuing to drive innovation as well as enhancing key partner relationships.
Said Founder and CTO Jason Dettbarn, 'Given the pace of change within the Apple ecosystem and our relentless focus on our customer's success, I am very excited to focus more directly on Addigy's product leadership. The appointment of Jason Tober to CEO not only strengthens our strategic capabilities, it enables us to capitalize on our skills and maintain our continued dominant market position in the rapidly evolving Apple environment.'
"I'm honored to join Addigy at this point in its trajectory', said Jason Tober. 'Jason Dettbarn and team have built a strong foundation by solving real customer problems and delivering great value to our customers. I look forward to working with this talented team to help accelerate our growth, unlock new opportunities and deepen our impact for those we serve."

Apple Forms In-House AI Chatbot Team to Rival ChatGPT
Apple (AAPL, Financials) assembled a dedicated team to develop an in-house AI chatbot, Bloomberg reported Sunday. The Answers, Knowledge and Information unit, formed earlier this year, is working on a stripped-down ChatGPT-like model that could power a standalone app and enhance Siri, Spotlight and Safari search functions. The company's pivot marks a change from its 2024 decision to integrate OpenAI's technology into Siri rather than build its own. Bloomberg said the group is led by Robby Walker, former Siri chief, and is hiring engineers with search algorithm and engine development expertise. Apple's AI push follows delays to its upgraded Siri rollout, now expected in the coming year. On its third-quarter earnings call, CEO Tim Cook said Apple is open to acquisitions to accelerate its AI roadmap. The company's not first, but best approach underscores its strategy to enter the AI race on its own terms; however, competitive pressure from Microsoft, Google and OpenAI is intensifying. Investors will watch for product announcements tied to Apple Intelligence and the company's broader AI ecosystem. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Why Apple Stock Lagged the Market on Monday
Key Points A global bank maintained its equivalent of a sell recommendation in a new research note. It enumerated three reasons not to buy the stock. 10 stocks we like better than Apple › An Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) bear weighed in on the monster tech stock Monday morning, and it seems at least a few investors were taking its latest analysis to heart. They unenthusiastically traded the company's stock that session, weakly pushing it only 0.5% higher. Meanwhile, the benchmark S&P 500 index closed the day 1.5% in positive territory. Barclays is quite the bear In its new Apple take, Barclays reiterated its existing underweight (read: sell) recommendation on the iDevice maker. This, despite enacting a slight raise in its price target to $180 per share from the preceding $173. According to reports, Barclays' continued pessimistic outlook on Apple stems from three key factors. The first is the inherent weakness in the company's foundational hardware business. Growth in such products has been modest, and the bank's analysts pointed out that the seemingly robust growth in the company's just-reported fiscal third quarter was due to factors such as forward purchasing ahead of anticipated tariffs. The second is China, a crucial market for Apple. Barclays believes that intensifying competition will threaten the company's market share in the sprawling Asian nation. Concerned about regulators Finally, the bank is wary about potential regulatory difficulties Apple might have in its Apple Services segment. With increased scrutiny and regulatory action around app marketplaces like the App Store, the company could be hit with rulings that reduce its take from this lucrative revenue stream. Last week, Alphabet's Google suffered a notable legal defeat when its appeal against an unfavorable ruling in a case centered around its Google Play was rejected. Both regulators and courts seem to find the highly advantageous conditions of marketplaces like Google Play and the App Store distasteful. Should you invest $1,000 in Apple right now?

Google mocks Apple's delayed AI features in new 'coming soon' ad
To tease its new phone, Google dunked on Apple — and soundtracked it to Snoop Dogg. In a new advertisement for the coming Pixel 10 smartphone, Google took a shot at Apple's delayed launch of its AI features. Apple announced an overhauled, "more personalized" Siri powered by Apple Intelligence at the Worldwide Developers Conference in 2024, but has yet to roll the feature out. "If you buy a new phone because of a feature that's 'coming soon,' but it's been 'coming soon' for a full year, you could change your definition of 'soon' — or you could just change your phone," the ad's narrator said. The ad then flashed the text, "Ask more of your phone," along with the launch date of August 20. With the camera roving up and down the sides of a jet black phone, Google's ad evoked the sleek futurism of previous Apple campaigns. The company soundtracked its ad to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's "The Next Episode." Neither Apple nor Google responded to requests for comment. Apple launched its official AI bid, a suite of features called Apple Intelligence, in 2024. Some of the features announced at WWDC were included in iOS 18, which launched that September. Others, like the Siri integrations for Apple Intelligence, never came. In March, Apple officially announced that it was delaying the Siri overhaul, a rarity for the company. "It's going to take us longer than we thought to deliver on these features and we anticipate rolling them out in the coming year," spokesperson Jacqueline Roy told the unaffiliated Apple blog Daring Fireball at the time. Apple also made a YouTube ad private that showed Bella Ramsey using the still unreleased Siri features. Apple is now facing a lawsuit over how it advertised the AI features on the iPhone 16. CEO Tim Cook gave a status update on the overhauled Siri during Apple's earnings call last week. "We're making good progress on a more personalized Siri, and we do expect to release the features next year," Cook said.
