When installing macOS 27 (Golden Gate), Rosetta is automatically removed. If you manage a fleet with any legacy Intel-only software still in use, you need a plan in place before your users start experiencing issues. Here is what I’m doing, and I have some thoughts on vendors who are waiting until the last minute to deploy Apple Silicon-native tools.

It’s time to get your Halloween decorations out and automate them because the gear you buy for October is the same gear you’ll use in December. Set it up once now, and all you’ll do in November is swap what’s plugged into your gear. My first real Apple Home project years ago was automating Christmas lights, and it’s still the easiest win in your entire smart home, and it’s really one of the most useful things you can do.

Fleet announced today that it has joined Project Glasswing, Anthropic’s controlled-access program for its Claude Mythos Preview. Fleet will use the access to evaluate how frontier AI can strengthen the security of device management systems, protocols, and the infrastructure around them, with a focus on closing the gap between how quickly threats emerge and how quickly IT teams can respond.

I’ve been on a spree of trying out new MagSafe wallets that look more like traditional wallets. Vinich’s MagSafe wallet is the latest one I’ve tried. It comes in 15+ colors, looks like a traditional foldable wallet built to sit on the back of a leather iPhone case without clashing with it. It’s designed to look more like an extension of your iPhone case.

For my entire IT career, software updates have operated on a predictable schedule. IT administrators have been conditioned to build workflows around quarterly point releases or monthly patching cycles (Patch Tuesday). However, as AI tools become very proficient at automatically discovering software vulnerabilities, threat actors are moving faster than ever before. With that being said, I very much miss 18th-month macOS/OS X releases.

We are rapidly entering an era in which software updates will look less like traditional operating system updates and more like continuous cloud updates. To survive this shift, IT teams must understand the three prongs of modern patch management.

Water damage is one of those problems where a single sensor can save you a major repair bill on your floors, cabinets, etc. Leak sensors have been among the best values in the smart home for years, and Shelly’s new Flood S Gen4 makes it even easier to get started. It’s under $30, Matter-certified, and works with Apple Home out of the box.

Apple recently confirmed it has capped the number of open vulnerability reports that researchers can submit through its portal, with a 30-day cool-down period once you hit that cap. The reason is that a surge in AI-generated bug reports is flooding the review pipeline. I understand the instinct, but I think it’s the wrong response at exactly the wrong moment.

My door has had a smart lock on it for 5-6 years, and I’ve tried plenty of options. The ULTRALOQ Bolt Fingerprint is a great option for almost anyone thanks to its Apple Home integration, built-in Wi-Fi, and plenty of ways to lock and unlock your door. Whether you’re looking for fingerprint ID unlock or a simple PIN, this lock has almost everything.

In this episode of Apple @ Work, I go solo as I talk through the good and bad of ChromeOS and macOS deployments after spending a lot of time with each.

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.

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.

As I write this article, I am about to head out for a quick trip up north, and when I hit the road, there are a few key types of gear of my smart home setup I fully rely on to keep things running smoothly. Just remember that you will need a dedicated Apple Home hub, like an Apple TV 4K or a HomePod, to access your devices remotely to take full advantage here.

Apple’s latest earnings call included some K12 sales numbers around the MacBook Neo that are super interesting, considering how pricing is progressing in electronics. MacBook Neo is beginning to displace Windows and Chromebooks in K-12 in a rapid fashion.

When deploying digital signage across a corporate or retail environment, IT teams often face a choice between buying premium boxes like an Apple TV or saving money upfront with cheap Android devices. The new State of Digital Signage 2026 report from Kitcast provides compelling telemetry data on this exact situation, and the results clearly show that Apple TV is the superior choice for enterprise reliability (especially at scale).

Most of your smart home lights are smaller bulbs and outlet adaptors, but the market is maturing to the point where we are seeing full hardwired fixtures that integrate natively with Apple Home (via Matter). SwitchBot just recently released the new SwitchBot RGBICWW ceiling light. It brings incredibly bright illumination and native Matter support directly to your overhead ceiling lights.
