The company kicked off the season with an eagerly awaited September event, followed by the launch of the iPad mini 7 in mid-October and a flurry of announcements at the month’s end. Alongside these new offerings, Apple has opted to retire various older products, presenting consumers with a combination of fresh choices and chances to find bargains on last-generation devices.
## 1. iPad mini 7
The newly released **iPad mini 7**, which debuted in October, introduces several upgrades, such as support for Apple Intelligence and compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro. Importantly, it resolves the jelly scrolling issue that affected the previous **iPad mini 6**.

Currently, the iPad mini 7 is available for **$459**, making it an appealing option for those in search of a compact tablet.
## 2. FineWoven iPhone Cases
Alongside the iPhone 15 last year, Apple launched its debated **FineWoven** cases, aiming to provide an eco-friendly alternative to leather. However, these cases have garnered criticism due to their vulnerability to scratches and overall quality concerns. In response to this feedback, Apple has retired FineWoven cases for the iPhone 16 models, although FineWoven MagSafe wallets and Apple Watch bands continue to be available. For iPhone 15 users, discounts on FineWoven cases can still be found, such as one for the iPhone 15 Plus priced at approximately **$29**.

The **M3 iMac** was refreshed last month, now featuring the M4 chip, additional Thunderbolt ports, and Center Stage capabilities. It also comes standard with 16GB of RAM while maintaining a starting price of **$1,299**. Presently, a deal allows for a $100 discount, lowering the price to **$1,199**.
