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).

While macOS is inherently secure by design, hackers/scammers are increasingly relying on social engineering to bypass native protections. A new report published by Netskope Threat Labs details a new and highly sophisticated macOS ClickFix campaign. This attack tricks people into deploying an AppleScript-based information stealer and a persistent remote access trojan.
