March 2025

Welcome to March—my birthday month!

This month, we can expect the iPhone 16e to become more widely available. Rumours also suggest that the MacBook Air may receive the new M4 chip, so I’ll be keeping an eye out for that. It’s shaping up to be an exciting month!

After setting up several of the new M4 Mac minis, I have to say - they’re an impressive little machines. Despite their compact size, they pack a lot of power. Paired with a 27” monitor, they make a fantastic replacement for the iMac 27”.

On another note, I’m excited to announce my new venture: eBooks Online - more details are provided below. 

Enjoy your March!

eBooks Online - your source for Digital eBook’s ‘Down Under’

After quietly working on a new venture since mid-last year, I’m excited to announce that it’s now live! 

The first eBook—"Avoiding Scams Down Under"—is available now, with more titles to come.

With scams on the rise in recent years, this eBook is a valuable resource to help you stay informed and protected. It covers key warning signs, practical steps to safeguard yourself and your finances, and crucial advice on recovering if you’ve been scammed.


Sadly, I’ve seen too many people fall victim to scams, which is why I hope this eBook will make a real difference by equipping more people with the knowledge they need.


Head over to my new site to grab your copy today!

MacBook Air M4 announced

Apple have followed on from the iPad upgrades with the MacBook Air upgrade - now with the M4 chip. Also with an upgraded camera and a new colour - Sky Blue (though discontinued the Space Grey colour). With a new display engine it now has support for up to two external 5K monitors in addition to the built in monitor. We also saw the price drop by $100. You can read more about it here.

Mac Studio upgraded

If announcing the upgraded MacBook Air wasn’t enough, Apple also announced an upgrade to the Mac Studio as well. It now has a choice of the M4 Max chip or an M3 Ultra chip, Thunderbolt 5 ports and more.

Some pretty impressive specs on both. You can read more about it on MacRumours page here, or Apple site here.

Still a powerful little workhorse - now even more powerful!

iPad Air upgraded

Apple have just upgraded the iPad Air to the M3 processor.(which should see a 20% improvement on the M2 models. They also updated the Magic Keyboard for it as well, with a larger Trackpad and Function keys. It still comes with 12-megapixel Center Stage front camera, 12-megapixel Wide rear camera, Touch ID power button, USB-C port with up to 10 Gbps data transfer speeds, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3.

Be aware of “Fake webpages” advising you need to update.

So there is a bit of a rise on the number of webpages or fake links that will try to trick you into calling a number or clicking a link to “update” some piece of software.

I’ve written a page with a bit more info on it here or check out my new eBook on Scams here.
