What can you preserve while remotely erasing a supervised iPad to speed up redeployment?

When remotely erasing a supervised iPad, preserving the existing eSIM is highly beneficial for speeding up the redeployment process. The eSIM allows the device to stay connected to mobile networks, enabling immediate communication and updates without the need for users to reconfigure network settings or replace physical SIM cards.

Retaining the eSIM facilitates a smoother transition for the next user, as it minimizes setup time and allows for quick access to mobile data services right after the device is wiped and reset. This can be crucial in a business or educational environment where devices are frequently reassigned or cycled through different users.

While other options, such as Apple ID information, location settings, and device name, might pertain to user-specific or personalized configurations, they typically do not play as critical a role in minimizing reconfiguration and setup time after an erase as the eSIM would in ensuring immediate connectivity.
