Earlier this Spring, Apple unveiled Apple Business, combining Apple Business Essentials, Apple Business Manager, and Apple Business Connect (including Apple Maps Connect) into a single platform. While the free device management was the key aspect of the announcement, the integration of Apple Business Connect into an IT-managed portal solved a problem that I am not sure people were aware of.

HomeKit Weekly: SwitchBot Button Pusher finally works natively with Apple Home

作者 Bradley C

I have long joked to my family that if I were super rich, I would love to hire someone whose only job would be to hand me a large cup of coffee as soon as I walked out of my bedroom. Apple Home has not let me do that, but it gets me close.

A few years ago, I wrote a guide on automating my morning coffee using a SwitchBot button pusher and HOOBS. It required pulling API keys and MAC addresses just to get it communicating with Apple Home. The new SwitchBot Bot Button Pusher completely streamlines this process with native Matter support and a built-in rechargeable battery.

Over the past few weeks, the Mac admins I talk with have been talking about a report from Netskope Threat Labs regarding a new macOS ClickFix campaign. The campaign is a brilliant (and scary) piece of social engineering, and it highlights exactly why the traditional 90-day software update deferral window needs to be retired, either by Apple or by IT.

HomeKit Weekly: Why the Aqara G5 Pro remains one of the best outdoor HomeKit cameras

作者 Bradley C

The challenge with HomeKit Secure Video is that the manufacturer sees no option for recurring revenue, so I suspect that might be part of the holdup for many new cameras (on top of the lack of new features). When Aqara originally released the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro with HomeKit Secure Video support back in 2025, it ended a long drought. I have had one outside for over a year now, and if you have a porch area, this is a great outdoor camera.

For much of my IT career, cybersecurity training has looked exactly the same. Once a year, IT forces everyone to watch a few videos and take a multiple-choice quiz. This training does check a box, but it rarely changes actual user behavior or provides a ton of new insights. However, AI will begin to completely flip how training is done. A new integration announced recently by Dashlane and KnowBe4 gives us a clear view of how AI and real-time automation will change cybersecurity training for the good.

Apple Business and Apple School Manager are foundational to modern Apple device deployments. If you are deploying Macs, iPads, or iPhones in the enterprise, you spend a lot of time in these portals. The problem is that the web interface can be incredibly tedious when you are dealing with thousands of devices. As we’ve mentioned a few times, Apple released an official API for these services last year, opening the door to automation and new tools. A new native macOS app called ASBMUtil is one such example.

HomeKit Weekly: The Airversa QliQ brings a rechargeable Thread smart button to Apple Home

作者 Bradley C

Smart buttons have become incredibly common in the Apple Home ecosystem, but finding one that checks every single box is still surprisingly challenging at times. The new Airversa QliQ immediately caught my attention because it addresses two of my biggest complaints about most smart switches: it uses a Thread connection instead of Bluetooth, and it ditches disposable coin batteries for a rechargeable one. Let’s take a closer look at what it brings to the table and see if its premium hardware features justify the purchase.

MagSafe Monday: The ESR Geo Wallet Boost is the ultimate Find My accessory

作者 Bradley C

When I first picked up the ESR Geo Wallet Boost last year, I had a thought: I was either living in the future or an absolute moron for plugging my wallet into a wall charger. Obviously, charging your wallet sounds like a massive hassle on paper, but after using it off and on, I can confidently say the functionality you get is completely worth the minor inconvenience of charging, as it feels more like charging a Kindle here and there vs something you really worry/think about.

If you spend enough time managing Apple devices in an enterprise environment, you start to spot patterns in how security incidents happen. It is rarely a cinematic Ocean’s 11-style hack. Instead, it is usually a user delaying an iOS update for three months or an employee connecting to an open Wi-Fi network at a hotel or coffee shop. Jamf recently released its Security 360: Annual Trends Report on Mobile Devices, and the data paints a very clear picture of the vulnerabilities that IT departments are currently facing. Even in the age of AI, what’s old is new again

HomeKit Weekly: A look into the first Matter certified camera from Aqara

作者 Bradley C

When Aqara first announced the Camera Hub G350, the headline that caught my eye was the claim that it is the first Matter-certified camera on the market. Matter, while not perfect, is a huge part of what I want out of the smart home industry: freedom from vendor lock-in. Let’s take a look at the new Aqara Camera Hub G350 and see how it works with Matter and HomeKit.

MagSafe Monday: Scosche’s 2-in-1 Qi2 mount is the perfect car companion for summer travel

作者 Bradley C

When you are looking for a MagSafe car mount, you usually have to make a hard choice right at the start of your shopping decisions. Do you want a vent mount or a dashboard mount? Vent mounts are great because they are easy to move between cars and avoid the need for adhesives on your car’s dash, but they can sometimes block your airflow. Dashboard mounts offer a more permanent feel but can be harder to get right.

Scosche decided to skip that debate entirely with the Scosche MagicMount Charge Pro, which includes both options in the box. I prefer the vent mount because I love helping keep my iPhone cool on summer trips, where it can overheat by letting my AC keep it cool while it’s keeping my car cold.
