Last week Apple announced iPadOS 26. When it is released this fall, it will bring with it a powerful new windowing system that allows users to fluidly resize app windows, place them freely, and open multiple windows simultaneously. This new system offers a more Mac-like multitasking experience with resizable windows, overlapping views, and the ability to switch between apps easily.

If you hate change, you will be able to turn this feature off. :-). We'll say more about that later this year once iPadOS 26 is released.

We'll post links to the newer iPads capable of running iPad 26 in the comments. The nice large 13" iPad Air (on Sale for $749) should make these new features VERY interesting: https://amzn.to/4l4SYaN

The BRAND NEW 2025 M4 MacBook Air with 256GB has dropped (at least temporarily) to $849 at Amazon. The 512GB model is also $150 off at $1049.

The M4 is TWICE as fast as a Late 2020 M1 Air which in turn was TWICE as fast as the 2018 MacBook Pro.

The 13-inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip lets you fly through work and play. With Apple Intelligence, a brilliant Liquid Retina display, up to 18 hours of battery life, and a strikingly thin and light design, it’s built to last and can take on just about anything, anywhere.

If you have an early 2020 MacBook or before that needs a new screen or new logic board, consider moving to this M1 MacBook Air on SALE at Walmart.com instead. It is faster than ALL previous MacBook Pros and Airs and has better battery life than ALL of them.

At $629 it is only a few dollars more than a major repair (screen or logic board) to those Intel Macs.

This model has 256GB of storage, so make sure your stuff would fit on that amount first. We will link to higher capacity Macs in the comments. https://walmrt.us/3D4Oj7T

🌍 A Huge Thank You! 🌍

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been recycling with us recently! After we wipe the data, if we can’t give machines away because they’re too old or not worth repairing, we strip them down into smaller components for recycling. The extra revenue we generate from recycling really helps us out!

This year, we’re excited to announce that we plan on lowering our prices! It’s vital that we increase our recycling efforts to offset expenses and pass those savings onto you, our valued customers.

We have so many great ideas on how to make our services more cost-effective and DIY-friendly for you. Remember, we accept all types of electronics for recycling!

📦 We want your cassette players, quirky printers, old cameras, alarm clocks, cellphones etc it’s crucial to keep all kinds of electronics out of landfills. If you have a small business or if your school who needs to recycle please reach out if you’d like to arrange a pick up. 

Thank you for supporting our recycling efforts! Together, we can make a difference. ♻️

Another stocking stuffer idea:
If you have ever tried a MagSafe charger for iPhone, you'll probably never go back to a regular USB-C or Lightning cable, especially if you have MagSafe stand. See the first comment for an inexpensive but durable stand (that Tom Q recommends).

The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The perfectly aligned magnets attach to your iPhone 12 or later. The MagSafe Charger provides faster wireless charging up to 25W when paired with a 30W power adapter. The MagSafe Charger is compatible with Qi2 and Qi charging, so it can be used ...
