Apple Configurator est un outil gratuit qu'Apple fournit aux écoles et aux entreprises pour préparer des iPhone par paquets de cent. Si ça vous dit quelque chose, c'est parce que c'est aussi l'outil que j'ai utilisé pour mon tuto sur le pair locking . Mais cela ne veut pas dire que vous ne pouvez pas l'utiliser pour votre propre plaisir ! En effet, rien n'empêche de le lancer sur le vôtre, et ce qu'il vous permet alors de faire est plutôt radical : faire disparaître l'App Store de l'écran d'accueil.

Vous branchez l'iPhone sur un Mac en USB, vous le passez en mode supervisé, puis vous vous fabriquez un profil de configuration que vous lui poussez. Cela permet par exemple de limiter la présence de certaines app pour ainsi transformer votre téléphone en dumbphone . Ça permet donc de lutter contre vos démons de la perte de temps que sont par exemple les réseaux sociaux.

La case à décocher dans Configurator s'appelle "Autoriser l'installation d'apps à l'aide de l'App Store". Une fois que c'est fait et que le profil est déployé sur le téléphone, l'icône de l'App Store n'apparaît plus sur l'écran d'accueil, et l'utilisateur ne peut plus installer ni mettre à jour ses apps (snif).

Les trois sous-cases de l'installation d'apps, toutes marquées "appareils supervisés"

Ensuite, reste à empêcher le propriétaire du téléphone (c'est-à-dire vous) de retirer ce profil 5 minutes plus tard. Ça se règle dans l'onglet Général du profil, avec un menu qui contrôle quand celui-ci peut être supprimé, et que vous basculez sur "Jamais".

Sauf que Jamais ne veut pas vraiment dire jamais. En effet, Apple documente lui-même la sortie de secours... Pour virer ce profil, il faut effacer l'intégralité du contenu et des réglages, ce qui arrête la supervision, et le profil s'en va avec. Ce n'est donc pas une vraie prison, mais plutôt une grosse friction, et son prix c'est le contenu entier de votre téléphone.

Les apps déjà installées, elles, ne bougeront pas d'un pixel. Elles gardent leurs notifications et leur compte connecté, parce que la restriction n'efface rien du tout... Elle vous retire seulement la possibilité d'en réinstaller une. Le ménage se fait donc avant, pas après. Et avant même ça, il y a un péage puisque la supervision ne s'active que sur un iPhone neuf ou entièrement effacé, avant que l'assistant de réglages n'apparaisse pour la première fois.

La première étape consiste donc à vider votre téléphone, sauvegarde comprise. Ensuite, tant que le profil tient, plus une seule app ne se met à jour, correctifs de sécurité compris. Et une app supprimée par mégarde (votre appli bancaire, votre générateur de codes à deux facteurs) ne reviendra pas avant que vous soyez rentré rebrancher le Mac. Ça peut être problématique en voyage, donc je vous conseille aussi de décocher la case "Autoriser la suppression d'apps (appareils supervisés)" pour justement empêcher aussi la désinstallation des apps.

L'idée de mettre en place un profil comme ceci nous vient de Stepan Parunashvili, qui raconte sur son site être passé de 4 à 2 heures d'écran par jour en deux mois. Sa bidouille ne s'arrête d'ailleurs pas à l'App Store, puisqu'il y ajoute aussi un filtre de contenu réglé sur les sites autorisés uniquement, sans quoi les services dont on vient de retirer les applications resteraient accessibles par le web.

Si ça vous chauffe de mettre ça en place pour gagner du temps de vie, comptez deux heures d'installation environ, une remise à zéro complète de votre smartphone, et deux bonnes semaines avant que votre liste d'apps soit la bonne.

Maintenant, si ça vous semble disproportionné, ça l'est un peu. Dumb Phone , que je vous présentais en janvier, vise le même résultat avec les API de temps d'écran et sans rien effacer... mais il se désactive aussi super facilement.

Bref, c'est la méthode brutale, pour ceux que les méthodes douces n'aident pas.

Concept Image

Apple and the gaming crowd have always had one of those relationships where you nod at each other across a party and never actually walk over. Apple makes the chips, brags about them beating a PS5 in some benchmark slide, then goes right back to talking about spreadsheets and stargazing apps. Gamers, meanwhile, buy a Steam Deck or a Switch and never think about the iPhone in their pocket as a gaming device at all. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman just reported that Apple wants to finally cross the room, having spent over a year quietly developing its own gaming controllers for the iPhone. The bigger twist is who gets to wear the name tag. Rather than an Apple logo, the hardware is reportedly launching under Beats, the audio label Apple has been slowly turning into its lifestyle catch-all since buying it in 2014.

Code unearthed in a leaked macOS 26.7 build gives the rumor real teeth, naming two unreleased devices, T6502 and T1057, each carrying its own dedicated controller profile instead of placeholder code. Both come with the standard gamepad vocabulary, sticks, triggers, a D-pad, face buttons, the stuff every controller on the planet already has. T6502 keeps things simple and wired. T1057 adds Bluetooth, motion sensors, and a noticeably different haptic engine, suggesting more than one idea is being tested at once. Nothing is priced, dated, or confirmed, but the code alone says this has moved well past a mood board.

Designer: Apple

Gurman’s sourcing on the branding is the part I keep chewing on. He says Beats executives are leading both the engineering and the product concept, not just slapping a logo on something Apple’s industrial design team already finished. His reasoning is that the culture and lifestyle around gaming controllers fits Beats better than it fits Apple, and that the sub-brand gives the company room to use cheaper materials and a louder design without dragging down the premium finish people expect from anything wearing the actual Apple logo. Read between the lines and that is Apple admitting its own aesthetic has a ceiling. Titanium and glass photograph beautifully, but nobody wants to grip a cold slab for a three-hour Genshin Impact session. Beats, with its glossy plastics and its very unserious relationship with color, is a far more honest home for an object designed to be squeezed, dropped, and thrown in a backpack pocket.

There is a decent trade-off lurking here too, and it is worth naming before anyone gets too excited. T6502, the wired one, is basic by design, which means it will likely be the cheaper, more disposable option with none of the motion sensing or richer haptics that make a controller feel alive. T1057 sounds like the one worth wanting, but Bluetooth controllers introduce pairing friction and battery anxiety that a simple USB-C plug-in never has to deal with. Apple will have to pick a lane, or price the two far enough apart that the choice makes sense, and so far there is no signal on either price or release window. History also isn’t fully on Apple’s side. The company has floated controller ideas for years without shipping one, and it once required developers to support the Siri Remote’s accelerometer as a de facto gaming input before quietly dropping that mandate. A leaked profile in a beta build is not a keynote slide.

Where this actually matters long term is the software Apple has already built around it. iOS 26 shipped a dedicated Games app that pulls your library, your Game Center friends, and Apple Arcade into one hub across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, and Arcade itself has quietly grown past 250 titles for $6.99 a month. A first-party controller, even a scrappy Beats-branded one, gives all of that infrastructure something physical to plug into, which is a very different goal from just selling more hardware. It also puts Apple in the odd position of competing with its own shelf space, since the Apple Store already sells the Backbone One and the SteelSeries Nimbus, and we covered how Backbone’s own Pro model already chases full-size ALPS sticks and forty-hour battery life at a premium price. Razer’s brand new Prio takes the opposite approach entirely, folding down to credit card size for people who would rather not carry a controller-shaped commitment at all. Apple showing up now, later than everyone, wearing someone else’s logo, says less about gaming and more about how Apple treats every category it enters late. Quietly, sideways, and only once it has found a version of itself that does not feel like Apple at all.

The Apple ecosystem runs deep, but the devices themselves only go so far. The iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad are remarkable pieces of hardware on their own, and yet a small category of accessories has figured out exactly what each one is missing. Not cases that just protect or cables that just charge, but objects that change the way a device feels, sounds, looks, or works from the moment you pick it up.

These five accessories do exactly that. They come from different corners of the Apple world, covering the watch, the phone, the iPad, and the kind of audio experience Apple never built its own hardware around. Each one earns its place not because it carries a name worth recognizing, but because it solves a specific frustration that was always there waiting to be noticed. Here are the ones worth knowing about right now.

1. NightWatch

Most Apple Watch docks are functional and forgettable, a plastic puck with a magnetic charger and no ambition beyond getting your watch off your wrist for the night. The NightWatch is not that. It is a clear glass orb, roughly the size of a generous paperweight, that you set your Apple Watch inside at night. The result transforms the watch’s nightstand charging face into a magnified, glowing clock that is genuinely easier to read from across a dark room than the device alone would ever allow.

The dock works by treating the Apple Watch display as a light source and the glass sphere as a lens, drawing the time out of a small wrist-bound rectangle and spreading it into a real visual presence on the nightstand. It also includes a built-in audio amplifier that boosts the sound of your alarm, so quiet mornings stay that way until you actually need them not to be. At $69.99, it is priced more like a considered object than a cable management solution, which is exactly the spirit it deserves to be received in.

What we like

• The magnification effect turns the Apple Watch display into a legitimate bedside clock without additional screens, apps, or setup
• The built-in audio amplifier addresses the one genuine weakness of relying on Apple Watch nightstand mode as a morning alarm

What we dislike

• The orb form factor is visually dominant enough that it will not suit minimalist nightstands where a small footprint matters
• At $69.99, it costs more than several competing dock designs that handle charging equally well without the visual statement

2. Rock Paper Pencil 4.0

The Apple Pencil is a precision instrument that has never quite figured out how to feel like one. The glass surface beneath it is smooth and frictionless, and while that works fine for certain tasks, illustrators and note-takers spending hours drawing have always wanted something closer to real paper. Astropad’s Rock Paper Pencil addresses that gap directly: a removable, reusable nano-texture screen protector paired with custom Apple Pencil tips, and version 4.0 makes the system meaningfully better than it has ever been.

The upgrade introduces a new graphite POM tip alongside the existing steel ballpoint option, and the difference is immediately legible. The graphite tip mimics the toothy drag of a 2B pencil, a sensation that makes expressive sketching and shading feel deliberate and controlled rather than slippery and approximate. Each kit now ships with four tips in total, two graphite and two ballpoint, alongside a screen cleaning kit that should have been included from the beginning. The protector attaches via NanoCling static cling rather than adhesive, meaning it lifts off without residue and goes back on without a bubble.

What we like

• The NanoCling system is genuinely removable and reusable, giving iPad owners a paper-feel surface on demand without permanently altering the display
• Having both graphite and ballpoint tips in a single kit covers two distinct working styles without requiring a separate accessory purchase

What we dislike

• The graphite tip wears down noticeably faster than the ballpoint option, which will matter to anyone putting in long, intensive drawing sessions regularly
• The friction that makes sketching feel natural also makes smooth, fast swiping across the screen feel slightly resistant during ordinary everyday use

3. Battery-Free Amplifying iSpeakers

Every speaker you own asks something of you before it makes a sound. The Bluetooth speaker needs charging, and the charging case needs its own cable. The smart speaker needs a wall outlet, a WiFi password, and a company’s servers to stay online on a random Tuesday. The Battery-Free Amplifying iSpeakers, designed by Ooi Masato of Pit-A-Pat for Shimawa and made in Japan, need none of it. They need your iPhone and the physics of a sound wave moving through precision-machined metal, and that is the complete brief.

The design is straightforward: a Duralumin metal body with a slot for the phone and golden-ratio speaker apertures that channel and amplify sound through acoustic resonance, the same principle that powered phonographs before electricity reached most homes. There is no pairing, no app, no battery level to check. You set your phone in the slot, and your music gets louder and fuller, immediately.

Click Here to Buy Now: $179.00

What we like

• Zero setup and zero charging requirements make it the simplest speaker in any room, with no ritual standing between you and better sound
• The precision-machined Duralumin construction means there is nothing to break, replace, update, or charge, ever

What we dislike

• At $179, it competes on price with capable Bluetooth speakers that offer far more volume, range, and flexibility for larger spaces or outdoor use
• The phone slot is sized for specific handsets, so case thickness and phone dimensions will determine how well it actually cradles your device

4. Nomad Leather Folio

Phone cases tend to fall into two camps: those that protect the device and those that try to say something. Nomad’s Leather Folio attempts something harder: a single object that does both without looking like it is trying to do either. Crafted from Horween leather inside and out, with MagSafe compatibility and RFID blocking built in, it folds over the front of the iPhone Duo and turns what is already an expensive device into a combination that reads less like a phone and more like something a person who still carries a leather notebook would reach for without thinking twice.

Priced at $129, it is not a cheap case, but it is not pretending to be. The leather cover closes over the screen, which is either a feature or a nuisance depending entirely on how you use your phone, though for anyone who already drops it face-down out of habit, the protection is real and the payoff is legitimate. MagSafe integration means the phone charges normally through the case, and the RFID blocking handles the handful of situations where that actually matters. The overall effect is a device that feels deliberately considered in a way most cases never manage to pull off.

What we like

• Horween leather develops a patina with use rather than aging badly, which gives the case a genuinely long useful life most materials cannot match
• MagSafe compatibility and RFID blocking are both included without any visible hardware bulk or added thickness to the profile

What we dislike

• The full front flap adds a step to every screen interaction that will feel like friction until the habit settles, and that adjustment can take longer than expected
• At $129, it sits in an awkward price band between affordable everyday cases and truly premium leather goods, which makes the value case harder to land cleanly

5. RePod C1

The click wheel was never just an interface. It was a tactile experience that gave early iPods a sense of ceremony that touchscreens have never quite replaced, a physical scroll mechanism that made navigating a playlist feel like it was worth doing slowly. Techpod’s RePod C1 is a $60 Apple Watch case that wraps the watch in an iPod-style shell and brings that wheel back, and what keeps it from being a novelty is one mechanical detail: the click wheel connects directly to the Apple Watch’s Digital Crown, so turning it actually does something real.

The case uses an open-back design that leaves all of the watch’s sensors fully accessible, meaning heart rate monitoring, ECG, and Apple Pay all continue to work normally. Antenna cutouts preserve Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular connectivity without compromise. The more interesting side effect is what it does to the device’s identity: sliding the watch into a pocket during a run or a commute and navigating with the Crown from inside the shell turns the Apple Watch into something that feels far more like a small, deliberate music player than a wrist-worn notification machine.

What we like

• The mechanical connection between the click wheel and the Digital Crown makes the nostalgia functional rather than cosmetic, which is a meaningful distinction
• The open-back design keeps every sensor and connectivity feature fully intact, so nothing about the watch’s capabilities changes when the case goes on

What we dislike

• Adding any case to the Apple Watch introduces bulk to a device whose appeal partly depends on being thin and unobtrusive on the wrist
• The iPod aesthetic lands clearly for one generation and reads as entirely opaque to anyone who came to Apple after the click wheel era ended

The Best Accessories Are the Ones Apple Didn’t Think to Make

Apple’s hardware is precise enough that the accessories worth paying attention to are the ones that noticed a gap the company chose not to fill. The NightWatch saw a dim nightstand clock. Astropad saw a frictionless drawing surface. Ooi Masato saw a speaker that required too much setup before it made a sound. Nomad saw a phone that could carry itself differently. Techpod saw a scroll mechanism nobody had brought back with anything real underneath it.

None of these are essential in the way a charging cable is essential. They are optional in the best sense, the kind of thing that makes a device feel more considered in the hands of whoever chose it. Whether your Apple device is a watch, a phone, or an iPad, something on this list has already figured out what was missing before you had the words for it.

Samsung has had the folding phone conversation to itself for six years now, tweaking hinges, shrinking creases, and figuring out what a cover screen is even for. Apple waited, watched, and let its rival make every mistake first. That patience shows in the iPhone Duo, a first-generation foldable that skipped straight past problems Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8 still hasn’t fully solved.

None of that comes cheap, though. The Duo starts at $1,999 and costs more than the Fold8’s $1,899.99, weighs in at roughly nine ounces against the Fold8’s seven, and folds up thicker in your pocket, besides. Samsung still wins those arguments outright, and we’ll get back to that later. But set weight and price aside, because here are five places where Apple’s first foldable actually beat Samsung’s eighth attempt.

Designer: Apple

The Camera That Disappears

A foldable phone’s whole pitch is the screen, one continuous surface that opens up into something closer to a small tablet. Every notch or punch-hole cut into that surface breaks the illusion a little, reminding you that the software is still working around a sensor buried in the glass. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8 has never quite escaped that compromise, even eight generations in.

The Galaxy Z Fold8 carries a 10-megapixel camera punched into both the inner and cover displays, a hole you notice every time the screen lights up. The Duo takes a different route entirely, tucking its inner selfie camera under the panel itself so nothing interrupts the display when you’re watching a movie or scrolling through photos with both halves open. The outer screen keeps a single, smaller cutout.

A Stylus Samsung Gave Up On

Samsung built its whole Note legacy around the S Pen, then carried that stylus into the first few generations of the Galaxy Z Fold before quietly dropping it this cycle. Neither the Galaxy Z Fold8 nor the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra bring it back, leaving a gap for anyone who used to sketch, sign, or jot notes onto that big inner display. It’s a strange retreat for a company built on that exact feature.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6

Apple Pencil support changes that, working on both the 5.4-inch cover screen and the 7.6-inch inner display, once it arrives. Dual-screen support lands through a software update later this year rather than at launch, so early buyers will have to wait a bit for the full experience. Still, it means signing a document or sketching an idea won’t require unfolding the phone first, something Samsung’s lineup can no longer offer.

Built to Survive the Mess

Dust is the part of durability testing everyone forgets about until it’s too late, and a folding hinge is the worst possible place for grit to sneak into. Water resistance ratings get all the marketing attention, but the dust half of an IP rating tells you whether sand at the beach or fine construction dust will actually make it past the seals and start scratching at the mechanism underneath.

The iPhone Duo carries an IP68 rating, meaning the seal is dust-tight; nothing gets through, full stop. The Galaxy Z Fold8 only manages IP48, which covers water fine but leaves that dust digit low enough that fine particles, sand, and powder aren’t actually kept out. For anyone who takes their foldable to a beach, a workshop, or just a dusty backpack, that gap matters more than it looks.

Room for Everything You Shoot

A foldable’s bigger inner screen practically begs you to shoot more video and drag around heavier files, whether that’s 4K footage, a stack of RAW photos, or a library of apps you’d never bother installing on a regular phone. Storage stops being an afterthought pretty quickly once you’re using the extra screen real estate the way it’s meant to be used, for actual creative work instead of just bigger icons.

Apple tops out the iPhone Duo at 2TB of storage, double what the Galaxy Z Fold8 offers at its 1TB ceiling. That’s the difference between planning around your camera roll on a long trip and simply forgetting storage exists as a problem. For anyone who treats their foldable as a mobile production tool rather than a bigger email client, that extra headroom ends up mattering more than the megapixel count.

Fighting the Fold’s Oldest Flaw

The crease down the middle of a folding screen has been the one problem no manufacturer has fully cracked, Samsung included, no matter how many generations they’ve shipped. Apple’s approach to the Duo’s hinge stacks a nano-texture matte layer over glide-adhesive glass and backs the whole assembly with a titanium plate, an engineering answer to a problem that’s mostly been treated as unavoidable elsewhere in the industry.

Early impressions from outlets with briefing access suggest the crease is still visible. Nobody’s claiming otherwise, but it doesn’t catch your finger or your attention the way it does on most rivals, the Galaxy Z Fold8 included. That’s worth flagging as an early read rather than a verified result, since neither phone has landed in reviewers’ hands yet. Outdoor glare handling gets similar praise, though the real test comes once these ship.

What Samsung Still Gets Right

None of this makes the Galaxy Z Fold8 a bad phone, and Samsung still wins the arguments that matter most to plenty of buyers. It’s $99.01 cheaper, noticeably lighter at roughly seven ounces against the Duo’s nine, and thinner whether it’s folded shut in your pocket or opened flat on a desk. Those are real, measurable advantages, not consolation prizes.

Apple iPhone Duo

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8

What you’re really choosing between is a phone that’s been refined for eight generations and one making its very first attempt, price and weight included. A first try that already beats its rival on a camera, a stylus, a durability rating, storage, and a hinge design is a strong opening argument, whatever it costs to get there. Samsung’s turn to respond comes next year.

The folio case for smartphones remains an entirely boomer product offering. Having a case with a flap that covers your screen and needs to be folded open like a book to answer calls or use your phone is an innately ‘old-soul’ experience. The flap protects your screen but it also obscures it. Fold the flap to the back and it reveals your screen but blocks your camera. It isn’t for millennials or Gen-Z phone owners, but for anyone who wears reading glasses, this folio style case is as addictive as their generation’s Candy Crush habit. With Apple launching the iPhone Duo just yesterday, Nomad developed a similar folio style case for the Apple foldable.

Nomad’s Folio case for the Duo is a strange little thing. While most folio cases turn candybar phones into bifolds, Nomad’s case sort of turns it into a trifold, if you will… or a bifold with a partition. The case is a single-piece leather and plastic design, created to wrap your phone not just from the back but also the front. The front flap magnetically snaps to your phone’s outer display, and lets you open your phone in two ways – firstly, by just disengaging the flap to see the outer screen, but also by disengaging the flap and outer screen together to see the inner screen… and like any good folio case, the flap’s inside packs a card-holder for your payment, ID, and access cards so you don’t need a MagSafe wallet ruining your iPhone Duo’s design.

Designer: Nomad

Like all of Nomad’s leather cases, this one’s made from Horween leather, crafted from a single piece of hide that’s been tanned, bent, crimped, and buffed to absolute beauty. The leather gracefully wraps around the edges, keeping the buttons exposed and accessible, while also covering the hinge in a way that creates that bifold feeling. The leather then transitions upwards ever so slightly before cutting off to a plastic lip around the camera bump, cushioning your phone’s precious shooters from accidental drops and bumps.

On the inside, the leather’s reinforced by a microfiber layer that protects the iPhone’s glass panels from damage. Sure, Apple touts Ceramic Shield on both the front and back, but nothing breaks your heart faster than seeing a cut or a scratch running down the glass body from abrasive action caused by objects in your pocket or even your table. Meanwhile, a slot on the front stores two cards from the looks of it, so your iPhone Duo doubles as a card holder beyond what Apple Pay already lets you do.

Like all good leather cases, this one’s designed to age gracefully with time. Chances are, if you’re an iPhone Duo buyer, you will probably use this phone as your ride or die for another 2 years. In that time, Nomad says the case will patina gorgeously with time, aging uniquely based on how you use the phone. Luckily, the case isn’t too expensive. Priced at $129, you can grab the Nomad iPhone Duo Traditional Folio in one of three colors – Saddle, Rustic Brown, and Black, with global shipping starting November 14th.
