I miss the iPhone 13 mini. I just prefer smaller iPhones. If you are using an iPhone 17 Pro Max, holding it with one hand for extended periods can get uncomfortable. A lot of people rely on permanent grips, but sticking something directly to the back of your phone ruins the ability to use wireless chargers. The SUPERONE MagSafe phone grip solves this by giving you a secure hold and an impromptu stand that you can easily remove whenever you need to. Read on to learn more. more…

Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that Apple was looking to host the much-delayed new Siri models on Google servers, rather than Apple’s Private Cloud Compute. The Information is reporting a similar story this morning, saying that Google has been tasked with running Siri servers inside its data centers, while adhering to Apple’s privacy standards. The Information goes on to detail how Private Cloud Compute is not up to task. As well as being underpowered, it is also reportedly underutilized in its current state, with the company only using about 10% of its capacity on average, leading to some already-manufactured Apple servers to be sitting dormant on warehouse shelves. more…
Apple has kicked off its big product launch week today, and one of the unveilings is a new iPad Air with M4 chip. Here are the details. more…

You may recall that way back in 2017, the WPA2 encryption standard used by most Wi-Fi routers at the time was cracked and had to be replaced with a new version, WPA3. Now a new attack method dubbed AirSnitch means that Wi-Fi encryption on most networks can be bypassed in order to access all of the traffic passing through the router. Almost all routers are vulnerable, so there are three steps you should take in order to protect yourself, with the greatest risk occurring through use of public Wi-Fi hotspots … more…
My personal view is that macOS 26 is a decent upgrade on balance, despite a few embarrassing mistakes.

However, if you’ve decided not to upgrade, you’ll be pleased to know that you can stop your Mac nagging you to do so … more…

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple believes it’ll be an ‘incredible value,’ and may even convince a lot of Windows and Chromebook users to switch. more…

Request your EXTENDED TRIAL today and understand why Mosyle is everything you need to work with Apple. Much like the infamously useless “close door” button in an elevator, reporting spam on an iPhone or Mac often feels like a placebo. This skepticism isn’t exclusive to Apple either. There is widespread distrust of reporting features in general. The issue largely stems from a lack of transparency. Because users rarely see a noticeable decline in junk mail after hitting “report,” many assume the button does nothing and eventually stop using it altogether. While Apple does provide a great support document for how to make reports, it doesn’t explain exactly what it does with these reports to improve its security prowess. Allow me to shed some light here… more…
As soon as next week, Apple is set to unveil its cheapest MacBook to date. It’ll be powered by an A18 Pro chip, offer a 12.9-inch display, and come in a plethora of colors. It’ll also have a couple key compromises to bring it down to a lower starting price. That raises the question: will it be worth it compared to the MacBook Air? more…

There are a ton of smart trackers flooding the market right now, especially with Apple’s Find My network continuing to grow and the recent release of the Gen 2 Airtags. But those new AirTags still have the same issues that the first gen had, which is that their form factor makes it awkward to put in wallets, and they use disposable batteries. KeySmart’s new SmartCard aims to alleviate all of that. It is just 1.7mm thin compared to the 8mm thickness of the AirTag, and it recharges wirelessly! There is a lot to like about the new SmartCard, and I think anyone who uses a wallet should consider getting one. Here is what you should know. more…

If you have walked into a conference room with a MacBook Air in the last five years, you know the struggle. You look for the cable, realize it does not fit your laptop because it’s HDMI, hunt for a USB-C dongle, find one that is broken or doesn’t do the handshake right, and eventually just join the Zoom call from your laptop screen. Owl Labs has been a staple in small conference rooms for a while with their 360-degree cameras. I really saw them take off during COVID and remote work. They look unique, but they solved the camera angle problem of getting everyone on the screen. Recently, they announced the Meeting Owl 5 Pro. While the camera specs are improved, the real upgrade story for Mac users is the connectivity that this new model brings. more…
