When Apple releases a new operating system for macOS and iOS, it’s an excellent time to evaluate if your current management solution meets your needs. Device management systems are the critical solution in your Apple deployment and play a vital role in ensuring that all devices, whether company-owned or BYOD, are secure, compliant, and easily managed. During an evaluation, there may come a time when your organization needs to migrate to a new MDM solution. This can be a challenging task, but with careful planning and execution, it can be done fairly smoothly.

The SwitchBot Hub Mini is a great place to start, now including Matter support.

I’ve traveled more in the last year than I have in my entire life, and it’s making me yearn for something that Apple has long ignored: cellular enabled Mac laptops. While tethering works fine, it can be cumbersome to reconnect when moving locations. In 2024, as mobile computing becomes increasingly essential, the lack of built-in cellular connectivity feels like an oversight. Here’s why it’s time for Apple to embrace cellular hardware in its macOS devices.

Over the years, enterprises have increasingly leveraged Apple’s Identity Provider (IdP) integration for the macOS login window to create a better experience for employees while simultaneously enhancing security. If you had told me ten years ago that another company could ‘take over’ the macOS login window, I would have said that pigs must be flying. In the enterprise, identity is everything. The rise of SaaS (Software as a Service) tools has only amplified the need for a robust and unified identity system.

They’ve even contributed to the Matter standard, expanding what the Home app can do. But there’s a big problem we need to address: HomeKit Secure Video. Vendors are largely ignoring it, and while this isn’t entirely Apple’s fault, it’s a problem they need to solve.
