Some Mac retailers offer great discounts on Apple products and Apple accessories, so you should be able to save a few hundred pounds off some iMac configurations. Beware, though. The Mac listed by the reseller may be an older model than the one Apple currently sells. We’ve seen resellers advertising Macs with money off based on the price they were previously sold at by Apple, even after Apple has started selling a newer Mac at the same price – so the deal often looks better than it actually is. So be careful to check the age and spec of the machine being sold, and don’t automatically assume that it’s current. To get an idea of what the old model should be worth, take a look at Apple’s refurbished store to see what Apple is selling the older version for (and remember that buying from Apple, even if it’s refurbished, will mean you get a full year’s warranty). And for another way to save money on a new Apple product read about how you can trade in old products at Apple and other resellers and get money off.

Apple is now openly chiding the European Union for demanding better user privacy under the Digital Services Act — while mandating Apple remove privacy features under the Digital Markets Act.An EU flag with the App Store logoApple and the European Union have long gone from claiming cooperation over the Digital Markets Act (DMA), to arguing the case in the Luxembourg General Court. A key disagreement has always been that Apple claims the EU's enforcement of the DMA radically harms users by demanding that rivals get unfettered access to private data.Now Apple has revealed that, separately, the EU has recently complained that it is not protecting users under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This is a different act which is concerned with online privacy rather than the DMA's requirements over interoperability and giving rivals free access to Apple technology.
