MagSafe Monday: The TUCCH Mag Wallet feels like a real wallet, not just a slot to stick cards in

My biggest issue when I go back and forth between a MagSafe wallet and a traditional wallet is that a lot of MagSafe wallets are really just card slots. I still carry cash and like my driver’s license to be in a clear window. The TUCCH PU Leather Mag Wallet does something different that most MagSafe wallets. It actually folds shut like a traditional fold wallet with a clear ID/driver’s license window.

They surveyed more than 500 IT decision-makers (Director-level and above, all responsible for device management at companies with 2,000+ employees), and the results show where IT teams think they are with AI.

MagSafe Monday: The Urban Fit is my favorite budget alternative to Apple’s wallet

Spigen for MagSafe Wallet

Apple’s MagSafe wallet is likely the default option for most people looking to carry a driver’s license, a credit card, and a little cash on the back of their iPhone. Apple’s Find My integration is nice, but that convenience comes at a price, literally, since it costs about double what most third-party MagSafe wallets cost.

Some people also hate the material choice as well. The Urban Fit remains one of my favorite alternatives to Apple’s own wallet. At roughly half the cost, it holds up to three cards and still works great as a MagSafe wallet.

At this year’s WWDC, Apple announced an expanded Apple Business API. This update allows IT admins to retrieve device information, review audit events, and assign or unassign devices directly via the API. It is a fantastic update for enterprise IT folks building on Apple and Apple Business, but properly configuring the API can be a bit frustrating according to reports from developers.

MagSafe Monday: The TESSAN AERO 5000 brings a titanium finish to an ultra thin battery

TESSAN AERO 5000

There are tons of MagSafe battery variations, and I may own most of them. The new TESSAN AERO 5000 caught my eye because it’s really thin and has a titanium finish. It also uses a new battery technology to reduce heat and improve overall safety. After reviewing the entire spec sheet, I think this might be one of the more interesting MagSafe batteries hitting the market this year, and I can’t wait to get my hands on one.

HomeKit Weekly: Why the Eve Weather sensor is a must-have for Apple Home automations in 2026

Eve Weather

Local weather is one of the most underrated variables to use in your Apple Home automation setup. Over the past few years, I have used sensors for everything from knowing when to drip faucets in freezing weather to adjusting the sprinkler schedule with the Eve Aqua on hot days. Eve Weather has been part of my setup for a while now, and with its Matter upgrade a few years ago, it is incredibly useful in my home.

Enterprise computer buying is currently going through an incredibly strange economic cycle. New PC shipment numbers from IDC show a divide across global deployment trends. On the one hand, actual device shipments are down nearly 5% across the industry. On the other side, overall manufacturer revenues are growing because prices are increasing across the board. Component shortages, driven largely by AI data centers (on top of worldwide government deficit spending), are consuming global memory allocations and resulting in major price increases across the industry. Yet, on top of this widespread industry downturn in shipments, Apple stands alone as the only major computer manufacturer posting shipment growth.

LISEN Qi2.2 MagSafe battery

The new LISEN Qi2.2 MagSafe battery strikes a nice balance between size and design, bringing some very interesting features to the lanyard. On the spec side, the key feature is supporting the Qi2.2 standard for much faster MagSafe charging. To me, the most unique feature is a really clever lanyard system for the included cable.

MagSafe Monday: ESR FlickLock solved my biggest complaints with the AirPods Pro 3

ESR FlickLock

I drop my AirPods Pro all the time. In fact, I dropped them at the lake yesterday. The worst part is always watching the earbuds bounce across the pavement and hoping they do not fall down a storm drain or something. I love having a case that actually stays shut when it hits the ground. The new ESR FlickLock Magnetic Case is designed specifically for the AirPods Pro 3 to solve that exact problem. It adds a secure locking lid and an incredibly strong MagSafe connection.
