9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-08-01 19:31:21

Apple has updated its list of obsolete and vintage products with a variety of fresh additions (via MacRumors), including the 2013 Mac Pro, 2019 Macs, 2018 iPads, and more.

Over the last 20-plus years, I have diligently followed her wisdom, and writing has been crucial in distilling my thoughts. This tendency also influences my inclination towards devices that let me use a pen-like contraption on digital screens — the Galaxy Z Fold being one of them.
