Best Mac mini deals this month
Macworld Apple announced Mac mini models with M2 and a brand new Mac mini with M2 Pro back in January 2023. Since the standard model already has a low price we don’t tend to see huge discounts. Apple introduced the M3 and M3 Pro chips at the end of October 2023. While not yet in the Mac mini, it probably won’t be long until Apple updates the M2 and M2 Pro Mac mini to take advantage of these new chips.

Best MacBook Pro deals this month
Macworld Apple announced new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips at an event on October 30. The upgraded MacBook Pro models arrived less than a year after Apple launched the M2 Pro and M2 Max variants of the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro (in January 2023). The late-2023 MacBook Pro update also marks the demise of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which has been replaced by a 14-inch model with the standard M3 chip, unfortunately at a higher price than the discontinued model. If you want to buy a MacBook Pro you will be able to save money if you choose one of the M2-series models, which will now be discounted by resellers as they sell off the discontinued stock. However, you should keep in mind that, with a mixture of price rises and declines across the range in comparison to the previous generation, it could be hard to spot a really good deal. Luckily we are here to help. Our team of Apple experts search the web all year round for the top deals, offers, and discounts for the MacBook Pro–seeking out the best money-off offers to save you time. We are focused on the MacBook Pro here, but there are some great deals for the MacBook Air too. The MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro have a lot in common, so you might also be interested in reading our MacBook Air deals article as well. And make sure you check out our complete round-up of the best Apple deals. Below you will find price comparison tables that show the best prices right now for each standard model of MacBook Pro. You will also find deals on MacBooks that Apple has now discontinued, as long as stockists still have them available. For more information and more help choosing the best Apple laptop read our buying guide where we cover all the models. We also have a Mac buying guide that covers the whole range. We also explain the differences between the MacBook Air and Pro. Best MacBook Pro deals right now Here are some of the best deals we are seeing right now.

Popular Mac App Bartender's New Owner Has Burnt Years of Good-Will With a Lack of Transparency
An anonymous reader shares a report: Popular app Bartender was quietly bought, and a shady certificate replacement, insertion of invasive telemetry, and a lack of transparent responses by the new owners has shaken confidence in the Mac community. Menu bar organization tool Bartender has been around for a long time. For most of its life, it had an excellent reputation, and a responsive developer who communicated clearly with users. That appears to have changed, recently. It all started with a quiet pair of app certificate shifts which went mostly unnoticed. That is, until app monitoring service MacUpdater found out, and started asking questions. They posted a warning about the app, saying that "The company and developer behind Bartender was replaced in a silent and dubious matter." But, there's a lot more to the story than just that warning. CoreCode, the developer of MacUpdater, did a great deal of research on the new owners and the app situation prior to posting the warning. They detailed their discoveries in a Reddit thread on the matter. Research performed before the warning pointed out that blog entries on the Bartender website shifted to heavily search engine optimized content. This is in contrast to the prior informational entries previously posted by original developer Ben Surtees. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
