Eve Energy is one of those smart home products that just works. It’s been a staple in my HomeKit setup for years thanks to its reliability, privacy-first design, and native HomeKit support. Eve Energy is picking up some notable upgrades that expand its usefulness even further.

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.

I’ve tried many MagSafe wallets over the years, and I’ve yet to find the perfect one. I recently picked up ESR’s new five-card MagSafe wallet, and it’s become my daily carry thanks to its separate ID slots and ability to hold multiple cards.

Apple recently rolled out iOS 18.4 and macOS Sequoia 15.4, with several updates that matter to IT teams managing Apple devices in the enterprise. Most of the changes are focused on device management capabilities and tightening up behavior around managed settings, but let’s dive in.

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.

Dashlane is rolling out a major update to its enterprise tools with the launch of Omnix, a new platform designed to combat AI-driven phishing attacks and shadow IT. The product aims to move IT teams past traditional vault-based password management and gives them the tools to manage, detect, and respond to real-time credential threats.

1Password is an app I’ve been using since 2008, but it’s not longer just an app. It is building a platform for how work actually happens today. That includes personal devices, AI agents, and apps that never went through the IT team. With new updates to its Extended Access Management platform and a partnership with Drata, 1Password is moving beyond vaults to help companies stay secure without slowing anyone down.

In this episode of Apple @ Work, I talk with Jitesh Ubrani from IDC about the Q1 2025 PC shipment report.

I’ve spent more nights in a hotel in 2025 than I care to mention. I recently went on a trip and was completely spaced on bringing a USB-C cable. After a run to the Apple Store, I had one, but it was still super frustrating. I need to build a permanent travel kit for cables. Between cables, chargers, and adapters, things get messy fast. A 3-in-1 charger helps cut down on clutter, but most of them are bulky. Some look great beside your bed but are a hassle to travel with. Lamicall’s 3 in 1 MagSafe charger is different. It folds down small. It travels well, and it does the job.

Software updates on macOS have been challenging for a few years. Between rapid OS releases, Apple silicon authentication requirements, and endless user deferring prompts for weeks at a time, it’s become harder for IT teams to strike the right balance between security and productivity. On one hand, devices need to stay up to date for security and support reasons. On the other hand, you can’t disrupt users in the middle of their workday with forced reboots or surprise upgrade prompts in the middle of a meeting.

I love outlet adaptors for HomeKit, but if you still use them to automate lamps, it might be time to switch things up (sorry for the pun). Smart plugs are a great way to get started, but smart bulbs give you more control over the lighting experience and work with overhead lights. With smart bulbs, you can change the color, set different brightness levels, and group them by room or scene. It is an easy upgrade that adds flexibility without complicating your setup. This week, I am looking at the Lightinginside Matter smart bulb.

Off-topic to begin the article, but Apple’s iSight camera was peak design. I wish it still existed. I think Apple could sell a lot of them today if it were extremely high quality. With that being said, when I unboxed AMEGAT’s new Qi2 desk charger, I immediately thought of the iSight.

One of the constant challenges for IT teams is balancing security and productivity, especially regarding network access. It’s easy to give people broad permissions to keep things moving, but that creates long-term cybersecurity risks when that access lasts longer than is needed. I am a massive fan of Tailscale, and the company has rolled out a new feature that addresses that problem.

Aqara continues to be one of the best smart home vendors for HomeKit fans. This week, the company announced a major update to its Matter integration that will benefit anyone using HomeKit as their primary platform.
