Apple's current version of macOS, Monterey, might not be everyone's cup of tea. As a result, there are certainly still some Mac users out there in the wild who are running the previous version, Big Sur, on their machine(s). In an effort to help keep those folks safe and secure while using the desktop operating system, Apple's released a software update with security fixes in tow.

Did you get or give an Apple gift this year?

It's that time of year again, when gifts are received and given. Which means it's a busy stretch of time for companies like Apple and Google and Microsoft (and so many others), all hoping for some of (or a lot of) your money. And while Apple itself doesn't necessarily go out of its way to offer up the greatest deals during the holidays, there are plenty of resources out there to get a pretty worthwhile discount in time for the holidays.
