Most people don’t think about air quality until it becomes a problem. It might not be random if you’ve ever felt sluggish in a home office or noticed your allergies acting up indoors. CO2 levels, humidity, and temperature all affect how comfortable and healthy your home actually is. A car fire at my neighbor’s house a few months ago reaffirmed this for me. The SwitchBot Meter Pro CO2 Monitor is built to make tracking air quality easier and integrates with HomeKit over Matter.

In this episode of Apple @ Work, I talk with Brad Kowalk from Hero Assistant about the problems with the current generation of digital assistants, what’s needed to advance the technology, and where we are most likely headed.

I have tried dozens of MagSafe chargers in the past few years. I swap the ones on my desk, nightstand, and travel bag almost monthly as I try out new ones. This 3-in-1 foldable MagSafe charger fits squarely in the “could be awesome, could be a gimmick” category. It folds down small, charges an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously, and promises fast charging in a slim package.

The iPhone 16e isn’t a “cheap” iPhone like the iPhone SE. It’s. While the last version of the iPhone SE felt like an “old iPhone” with its older design and missing features, the iPhone 16e brings modern functionality at a lower price point. It has a big display, Face ID, USB-C, and a powerful chip. In other words, it’s the perfect iPhone for businesses buying thousands of iPhones at a time, which is why the $599 price point isn’t a huge problem. Compared to the iPhone 16, it’s a bargain, and it’s likely to end up being free with a cellular contract.

Smart home automation is all about convenience or security. For me, automation with motorized shades is one upgrade that makes a real difference day-to-day. Instead of manually raising and lowering them at the beginning and end of the day, automation ensures the perfect amount of light—without thinking about it. Recently, SmartWings announced a new set of Matter-enabled shades that introduce Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, eliminating the need for charging. While PoE is an option, it’s not required, making these some of the most best smart home motorized shades on the market.

In this episode of Apple @ Work, I talk with Phillip Avelar from Advanced Solutions about their use of the iPad and iPhone in logistics and manufacturing.

If you’ve ever looked, you’ll notice that most MagSafe batteries look the same. The same rounded rectangle, the same colors, and the similar general design. The SHARGE ICEMAG 2 breaks that mold with a transparent design (reminds me of a desktop gaming PC) and a few nice features that set it apart from the usual suspects. It’s a Qi2-certified power bank with active cooling, 10,000mAh size, a built-in stand, and 30W wired charging (in and out).

If you’ve read any of my writing over the years, you know I love protocols and building on top of them. Launched in 2001, OpenVPN has been the go-to protocol for VPN connections across almost all services. But the problem with underlying protocols is they’re a bit harder to evolve as technology changes. As mobile devices became a key part of the VPN experience, so did the need for faster speeds, better security, and improved roaming abilities. That’s where ExpressVPN’s Lightway protocol comes into play.

Winter in the southern US is coming to a close, so it’s almost time to break out the sprinklers as warm weather arrives. Meross has been steadily expanding its lineup of HomeKit-compatible products, and its latest addition brings another option for smart outdoor watering to HomeKit.

MagSafe is often connected only with wireless charging, but its potential goes far beyond charging your iPhone. For content creators and photographers, MagSafe offers a great way to mount and position their iPhone without the hassle of clamps or brackets. The only time I’ve cracked my iPhone screen is with a clamp. This week on MagSafe Monday, I am looking at a product that takes full advantage of MagSafe to give you a content creation tool or a way to use your iPhone as a Zoom camera for the Mac. Let’s look at the KraftGeek MagSafe Tripod.

One of the things that Apple got right with the foundation of macOS (then OS X) was the ability to operate the computer as a limited user. Running as a Standard user is one of the best ways to level up your macOS security, especially in the enterprise. The Mac team at SAP recently released Privileges 2.1, which has some great features to help IT teams allow their users to gain admin privileges when needed.

Aqara keeps on a hot srreak in 2025 with a host of new products. After its new HomeKit Secure Video camera, the Aqara LED Bulb T2 is the company’s latest smart lighting option, bringing a nice combination of Thread and Zigbee support. Matter support, Zigbee Adaptive Lighting, and ultra-wide color tuning make it a solid addition to any HomeKit environment.

MagSafe docks might seem like they’re all the same, and many of them are. It’s all about charging, so you look for the ones with the look, finish, or price that you want. Every once in a while, a company will innovate with a feature I’d never thought about. The iWALK 3-in-1 MagSafe dock brings just that: an IR sensor so you can change between portrait or landscape without removing your iPhone.

Apple Business Manager (and School Manager) is Apple’s web-based portal that helps IT teams deploy and manage their Apple fleets at scale, ensuring automatic enrollment, configuration, and oversight of company-owned hardware that connects to their device management system of choice. Over the years,

With a recent update, Apple Business Manager now provides IT administrators with additional visibility into released and replaced devices. This makes it easier to monitor when a device was removed, which person authorized the release, and whether a replacement device has been issued.

HomeKit has changed how I interact with many of the rooms in my house. While lighting and cameras tend to have the spotlight for most people as they can easily see the impact, environment monitoring is an equally important factor for me. The Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor is a low-cost, simple, yet useful device that can enhance your HomeKit setup significantly. Here’s why you might want to install one in every room.

Abode, the company behind the DIY smart home security system with HomeKit support, has launched a new Apple TV app, bringing its full suite of home security and smart home controls to tvOS I’ve been using their security system for 4+ years and am a huge fan of its products.
