I would not recommend use device categories. If you need to find devices and add them to a dynamic AAD group, then find other attributes you can use to this.
Can you tell more about what you want to achieve?

Device Categories was already in use in our intune for windows / MACs so need to setup device cats for iOS/android devices. Its also easier for users to select the cat and then the apps and wallpaper etc is deployed to them. We can then also see the device in each cat easily via the filters.

Why not use different enrollment profiles and then filter your apps and policies on that in Intune? your deployments will be much faster and more reliable.- shehanjpApr 28, 2022Iron Contributor
NeilPD Another way to look at this without using device categories.. Group tags can be used to tag machines from the Device Registration page. You can use different enrollment profiles as MMelkersen_MVP mentioned that's assigned to Group Rag based Dynamic AAD Device groups.
Also same AAD groups can be used to deploy Apps and device profiles if needed.Cheers!
