It feels like an over engineered solution for a simple problem. If Apple were instead to add multi-users support to iOS then it would be as simple as having a work identity with dedicated apps and segregated data, and a personal identity as such, invisible to IT.

The problem is that most MDM solutions want to take over your device. At my employer, the MDM solution literally takes over your entire device. I've installed the solution on an iPhone, and a Samsung Galaxy S8 (with and without Knox) with the same result. Unfortunately, the result is I carry two phones instead of one.

I think Apple's solution to the problem might work. As long as the companies data is separate from mine, what I do on my phone is private, and basic functionality like screenshots are available on my phone, the solution looks good to me.

It might. As long as IT/Security can be convinced that it fulfills their goals. That doesn't seem like a sure thing.

Such a "solution" would be a PITA. I for one am using my phone many times during a work day for personal stuff (e.g. messaging with my wife), and I am also often using it for work stuff in my free time (e.g. replying to email from my boss). I would go insane if I had to switch profiles every other time I had to do accomplish simple task in my phone.
