Apple has effectively abandoned HomeKit Secure Routers
This is why I recommend to my clients more advanced, professional routers, like the ones from Netgate, running pfSense software. Combined with VLANs and separate Wi-Fi access points that allow the configuration of multiple SSIDs, I set up my clients’ main LAN, a guest network and an IoT network. Unfortunately, I am not sure, whether having full access from the main LAN to the IoT subnet and none in the reverse direction is sufficient firewalling. I would like to see Apple provide concrete guidance.
Isolating IoT from the rest of your home network is a best practice and should be standard in this day and age. Apple, let’s be open about it, so that any router manufacturer can implement these best practices without requiring certification. -
Apple pauses iOS 18, macOS 15 work to stomp bugs now
There are several bugs I have been dealing with, which I hope get fixed every time there is a new release. But then they aren’t. I can’t imagine that a week of concentrating on bug fixes can really be enough.Contacts: Adding contacts from the right pane to one of the lists in the left pane ceases to work after the app has been open for a day or so.
Contacts: Clicking and dragging across the name of a contact in the right pane only works, if I start clicking in the lower half (maybe lower third) of the name.
Contacts: Adding contact details in the Messages app will lead to that new contact showing up in the Contacts app only after 30 s or so. I do have a lot of contacts (> 5,000), but still…
Calendar: Can’t add coordinates to an appointment’s location, anymore. It’s been years…
Mail: Clicking on the down-caret to the immediate right of an address in the To: field of a message being edited requires the selection of “Edit Selection” twice, before I can actually edit the address. This has been a problem for years, now, too. -
