Why we exist
The "kosher phone" category has existed for 15+ years. Most of what's been shipped in that time has been a standard iPhone or Android with a content filter layered on top — effective against passive exposure, bypassable by any determined user.
Meanwhile, enterprise IT has spent those same 15 years deploying a different architecture: **Mobile Device Management (MDM) with Supervised Mode** — the stack used by Fortune 500 companies, governments, and K-12 school systems to lock down millions of iPhones so strictly that the users can't undo the restrictions.
We founded The Kosher iPhone to bring that enterprise architecture to frum homes. Not to reinvent it — to deploy it, tuned for frum family needs, at a price a household can afford.
Where we're based
Lakewood, NJ. Our configuration team is in Lakewood. Our management console operators are in Lakewood. Our support phone line rings in Lakewood.
That matters because your family's supervised iPhones are managed by people who understand the community they serve — people who know the difference between a bochur's whitelist and a working professional's, between a rebbetzin's needs and a CPA's.
What we build
Every Kosher iPhone ships with:
- A real, current iPhone — purchased through Apple's DEP program, supervised from first boot. - Our MDM management — enterprise-grade, tuned for frum family configurations. - The full **KolBo portfolio** — 13+ tools, 768,916 shiurim, 3,424 sefarim, 59,115 minyanim, pre-installed free. - **Ongoing lifetime management** — weekly filter updates, same-day app approvals, remote lock/wipe for lost devices.
We also build **KolBo** — the standalone ecosystem that powers the bundled portfolio. If you've used kolboapp.com, you've used our work.
Our standard
Three commitments to every customer:
**Truth in what we sell.** Every claim on this site is verifiable. Every schema is accurate. Every testimonial — when we have them — is real. We publish customer requests we acted on instead of manufactured reviews.
**Enforceable protection.** We don't sell "phone with a filter." We sell Supervised Mode with MDM — the tier above. If a customer can bypass our protection, we didn't do our job.
**Lifetime management.** A phone configured today drifts by next month without attention. We don't do one-time setups. Every plan includes forever-management.
