The iPhone Duo is eSIM-only worldwide, but so is every iPhone 16 and 17 sold in the US. Here is what to test with your carrier and in Intune before October, and where the tooling is thinner than you would like.

The iPhone Duo's inner display reports regular size classes in both dimensions — the one assumption a decade of iPhone code takes for granted. Apple's developer guidance is out, the device ships 23 October, and here are the five questions to send your app owners now.

AI desktop apps want Accessibility, Screen Recording and sometimes Full Disk Access. Here's what a management profile can still grant, what it never could, and what changes when Apple removes the PPPC route for Accessibility in macOS 27.

A shell script pushed through Intune runs as root on every Mac in scope, and nothing in that pipeline reads your logic. Here is the three-layer review order that catches the mistakes — and exactly where AI review stops being trustworthy.

Apple's 25 August desktop refresh debuts M6 silicon in the $899 Mac mini and pushes Mac Studio to M5 Max and M5 Ultra. Past the benchmark multipliers, here's what a Thunderbolt split, a 32GB ceiling and a 22 September ship date actually mean for a managed Mac fleet.

A bash-native Mac admin's setup for querying Intune device data with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK — the install that actually belongs on a fleet, four queries worth keeping, and how to catch the cmdlets AI invents.

The Mac has always been the developer's machine of choice. In 2026, it's also become the best platform for AI-assisted development — not because of any single tool, but because of how well a handful of them work together. Here's a practical breakdown of the AI stack serious Mac developers are running right now.
