Hi,
We have around 1000 iPad Mini 2s that are about to be setup (reset, supervised, enrolled in Meraki MDM, VPP app install).
However, the app only works on iOS 9 and breaks on 10. Since we'll be doing to setup over the period when iOS 10 is released, we want to make sure that during the 'reset' phase, they get iOS 9.3.5 and not 10 (which will soon be the 'latest' iOS). Any way to prevent this from happening and make sure the devices only get iOS 9?

iOS 9.3 gave us iOS 10's enterprise management features — six months early

Hello again all! Sorry I haven't been posting up-to-the-minute updates from WWDC as I have in the past. The new company has me pretty busy. However I did attend yesterday's presentation on What's New in Apple Device Management. Apple has already posted a video of the presentation online.

The session was mostly a recap of what arrived in iOS 9.3. There's a good reason for that: iOS 9.3 delivered an uncommonly huge number of new features for enterprises. The way I see it, it's like we got to open our presents early.

There are a handful of new things in iOS 10, too. If you want a summary, I recommend Jack Madden's recap.

What are your thoughts?
