HomeKit is living large in 2022

January 07, 2022

Home automation is about to get simpler, thanks to a couple of new initiatives Apple is embracing.

The two emerging technologies -- dubbed Matter and Thread -- will help smart home devices play nice across platforms and work better in general.

This renewed interest in interoperability means even more smart gadgets will arrive to help us trick out our homes in 2022.

Read today's top post for more on Matter and Thread, and a closer look at the most interesting HomeKit-compatible gear coming out of this year's CES tech showcase.

There was a lot to get HomeKit fans excited at this year’s CES. Quite a few companies announced products that’ll support Apple’s home-automation system, including lights, door cameras and more.

Two monumental events happened this week. Apple became the first U.S. company to be worth an astonishing $3 trillion. And a day later came the official end of BlackBerry, which is proof that today’s winners aren‘t inevitably tomorrow’s.

Elago's awesome accessories for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods are now available at 15% off in our big New Year's sale.

Several upgrades will help users who vowed to get fitter and healthier in 2022.

Like a lot of companies showing their wares at CES 2022 in Las Vegas, Anker is addressing today’s hybrid WFH culture with new gear.

This year’s refresh is expected to add 5G connectivity and beefier internals, but it probably won’t look any different from the current budget model.

One more thing ...

"There's nothing wrong with big companies. A lot of people think big business in America is a bad thing. I think it's a really good thing. Most people in business are ethical, hard-working, good people. And it's a meritocracy. There are very visible examples in business of where it breaks down but it's probably a lot less than in most other areas of society." – Steve Jobs on big business
