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...

In a research note with Hong Kong-based investment bank Haitong today, obtained by MacRumors, Apple analyst Jeff Pu said he agrees with a recent rumor claiming that the so-called "iPhone 17 Air" will be around 6mm thick.

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.
With the JavaScriptCore vulnerability, processing maliciously crafted web content could lead to arbitrary code execution. The WebKit vulnerability had the same issue with maliciously crafted...
I’d rather get the M1 iPad Pro from Apple refurbished for cheaper. Besides, what is this 50% off? The price from when it was released? False advertising if you ask me.

This seems like a very good deal, but I don't know what I'd do with an iPad. The MacBooks seems a lot more convenient with the built-in keyboard that also serves as a stand.

It does say "up to 50% off" which OneBar addresses which model gets it.
Just curious why you would prefer the refurb over a brand new model including a folio for only $20 more.. what am I missing?
$30 is $30 for the iPad itself (base storage). Plus, refurbs (from Apple) are indistinguishable from new. I personally wouldn’t spend anything on a folio but that’s just me.
New is indistinguishable from new. Why would refurbs from Apple be better than new?
EDIT: Oh you're saying you can get the Apple refurb cheaper? Ok that makes sense... but not true for the higher storage models like 2TB as others have pointed out.
