If there’s one thing I’ve learned living in a house with pets and the pollen in the southern US, it’s that indoor air quality matters more than we think. Air purifiers help lessen the problem, but when you can automate them, even better. SwitchBot recently updated the SwitchBot air purifier, and it now supports Matter and works natively with HomeKit without needing an extra hub.

I’m always on the hunt for new MagSafe gear that solves a problem for me. Cases are especially something I am never satisfied with. Some cases are slim but have weak magnets. Others are rugged, but feel like bricks. The BENKS ArmorPro somehow pulls off both. It’s lightweight, works perfectly with MagSafe, and adds real protection without killing the feel of the iPhone. I also tried BENKS MagSafe ring holder that does more than just add grip. It can function as a kickstand, rotates easily, and pops off cleanly when it’s time to charge.

There’s a lot of hype around AI right now. Every product is “AI-powered” and every app promises to help you do more by doing the work for you. However, I think that real productivity improvements don’t come with bolted-on functionality. They come from building smarter tools that live where people already work and letting them focus on what humans do best. That’s why I think Spike’s new AI Feed is a solid example of workplace AI done right.

One of the best things that has happened to HomeKit in the past few years is the Matter standard. It is far from perfect, but it has opened the door (pun intended) for a new crop of accessories that would have never supported Apple’s smart home platform before. SwitchBot is a great example. The company started out with clever smart home products like the button pusher, but has leaned hard into Matter recently, and it is paying off. It’s new Lock Ultra and Hub 3 combo brings serious upgrades and, more importantly, native HomeKit compatibility thanks to Matter support.

There are two types of portable MagSafe batteries: ones designed for a weekend camping trip and ones designed to get you through a heavy single day. I recently picked up the BENKS ArmorGo, and it’s a great option for your everyday carry (EDC) kit. It’s slim enough to fit in your pocket but big enough to get the job done.

Augmented reality has been floating around for years, mostly living in tech demo videos and marketing slides from people telling you it will blow up to be something huge. That’s starting to change, though Businesses are slowly starting to finding real value in AR, and in typical Apple fashion, the foundation in the hardware and software has been there all along; it just took time for use cases to crop up.

A good door and window sensor doesn’t just tell you when something opens or closes. It can trigger lights, tweak thermostat settings, or alert you when you’re not home. The new Aqara P2 sensor checks all the boxes with fast, reliable alerts, local automation support, and wide compatibility thanks to native Matter over Thread. If you’ve been holding off on adding a sensor to your setup, this one makes a strong case.

One of the downsides of leaving the Max lineup with my last iPhone upgrade was the battery life. The Max iPhones, thanks to their bigger batteries, keep running and running. While the battery life of the non Max iPhone is fantastic, I have noticed I can get low by the end of the day if I am traveling or out and about without a charger while listening to music, audiobooks, etc. To fix that, my go-to charger for when I am going to be gone all day and needing multiple charges, I carry the Anker Magnetic Battery 10,000mAh. I have used this battery pack for over a year now, and it has been a fantastic companion across multiple iPhones that support MagSafe. If you are looking for a bigger battery that can handle multiple charges, it is an incredible value.

As I was setting up and charging ESR’s Geo Wallet Boost, I had a thought: I am either living in the future or an absolute moron. I was charging my wallet. Obviously, no one wants to charge a wallet, but the functionality you get will decide if you want to go through that hassle. I’ve been using it for the last month, so here are my thoughts on it

In any environment with multiple Wi-Fi networks (schools, apartments, businesses), you’ve probably heard this one before. “Why is my iPhone connecting to the guest network instead of the staff one” Or “my iPhone keeps switching back to a slower access point even though there’s a better one right next to me.” It’s a common problem in enterprise environments where IT teams manage multiple SSIDs, some with onboarding portals, some broadcasted openly, and others reserved for staff only.

When people ask me where to start with building out their HomeKit, I always come back to the same answer: start small. And by small, I mean a HomeKit-compatible smart plug. These devices are inexpensive, easy to install, and perfect for dipping your toes into automation and scenes within Apple’s smart home environment. They also make great gifts for friends and family who might not be ready for a full HomeKit setup but want a taste of the convenience. This week, we’re looking at the CozyLife HomeKit Mini Smart Plug. It’s a low-cost option that brings a lot of immediate value and helps lay the foundation for a future HomeKit expansion.

The move to passkeys is happening in this way: gradually, then suddenly. Apple has gone all in on passkeys, and while they’re a huge win for consumer security, they’ve been harder to manage in an enterprise environment. That’s starting to change.

When it comes to building out a HomeKit environment, I always look for products that do more than one thing. The Aqara G2H Pro checks a lot of boxes. It’s a HomeKit Secure Video camera, but it also doubles as a hub for other Aqara sensors and accessories, so they can to work with HomeKit. I’ve had it set up in my house for a few weeks now, and it’s proven to be a solid addition that fits right into the Home app without any extra hoops to jump through.
