Marko Stojkovic/Getty Images The tech world was outraged -- outraged, I tell you! -- when Microsoft attached strict compatibility requirements to the launch of Windows 11. Those new rules meant some PCs that were only six or seven years old would be effectively abandoned, no longer eligible for security updates, and unable to upgrade to the newest OS version.

Apple Fitness could benefit greatly from one simple expansion

Apple has definitely built up quite a compelling ecosystem around the Apple Watch. Between all of its fitness challenges, activity rings, and competitions – Apple has certainly found a way to make exercise fun for a lot of people. The problem? Some people simply don’t like the form factor of a smartwatch. The proposal To put it short, I think Apple should allow third party health trackers to integrate with the Apple Fitness app. The catch?

A short while ago, I was browsing Apple deals on Amazon (as one does) – and something stuck out to me. High-end iPad Pros, particularly 12.9-inch models, are surprisingly cheap. I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for under $700. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share.
