While the Logitech MX Master 3 is a terrific mouse for the Mac, reports claiming that Apple CEO Tim Cook prefers that mouse over the Magic Mouse are false.
The Wall Street Journal last month published an interview with Cook, in which he said he uses every Apple product every day. Soon after, The Verge's Wes Davis attempted to replicate using every Apple product in a single day. During that...

The iOS 18.1.1, iPadOS 18.1.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1.1 updates that Apple released today address JavaScriptCore and WebKit vulnerabilities that Apple says have been actively exploited on some devices.

That awesome $100 iPad Air gift card offer from Target is for the Doorbuster special. No rain checks, quantities limited. I read that as "good luck getting one".
The target gift card of $75 with the purchase of any iPad mini, seems kinda vague and not specific to model. Might get away with that.
"Any iPad mini" refers to any configuration of the old model. If Target truly meant "any" iPad mini, they would've specified the retina version in the box below BUT THERE IS NOTHING. AND seeing how the iPad mini retina wasn't released NOR had a release date during the time these ads were created and printed, I can guarantee you there will be no sales on the iPad mini retina. In fact, they probably won't even be in stock during Thanksgiving.
