It's been a busy week in the world of Apple! From new product announcements to tips and tricks for getting the most out of your devices, here's a roundup of the latest news you need to know.
Refurbished M4 Macs: Are They Worth It?
Apple is now offering certified refurbished M4 Mac and MacBook models in its online store. This gives consumers a chance to snag the latest releases, like the 24-inch iMac and the MacBook Pro, at a slightly discounted price. It's tempting, right? You get an "officially certified" Apple product for less.
However, before you rush to buy, consider this: While you can save a few hundred dollars by going through Apple's refurbished store, you might find even better deals elsewhere. So, do your research and compare prices before making a decision!
Unlocking Productivity with Apple Shortcuts
Is your Mac feeling sluggish? Are you tired of repeating the same steps on your iPhone? Then it's time to dive into Apple Shortcuts! This powerful automation feature can dramatically improve your speed and accuracy across all your Apple devices.
Shortcuts allow you to combine multiple steps into a single tap or click. Imagine opening a dozen documents, converting them to PDFs, emailing them to clients, and playing your favorite music—all with one command. It's a game-changer for productivity.
"Shortcuts take one, ten, or a hundred different steps and have your Mac, iPhone, and iPad instantly do them all for you, after you've tapped or clicked a single button."
AppleInsider is even doing a deep-dive series on Shortcuts, so stay tuned for more tips and tricks!
