November 2026

Welcome to November - blue 24-inch iMac and illuminated Apple logo on MacBook Pro with Perth evening skyline

Welcome to November

After a busy release of updated products just before the end of October, we're now moving into November. As the weather warms up, the month starts to get busier as we look towards December and Christmas - trying to get everything completed before things start to wind down.

We should start to see all the new products beginning to ship over the next week or two, so it'll be interesting to see some real-world tests once they're in people's hands.

As we head into the last couple of months of the year, now is a good time to book in any last-minute appointments - whether you're after a general clean-up, security check, backup check, or simply want to make sure everything is running smoothly before the “silly season”.

I hope everyone has a productive November!

Original white Apple iPod with click wheel and monochrome screen

25 Years Since the Original iPod First Went on Sale

Today, 10th November, marks 25 years since the original iPod first became available to buy. With Apple’s famous “1,000 songs in your pocket” message, it quickly became one of Apple’s most recognisable products.

The original model was a great little music player for its time, featuring a mechanical scroll wheel, 5GB of storage and a FireWire connection. It went on to start a long line of iPod models and revisions before the range was eventually discontinued in favour of iPhones and Apple Watch models with music support.

I still know of people using some of the old white iPod models today — which says a lot about how well they lasted. And for a bit of fun, if you visit music.apple.com/us/ipod, Apple has a fully interactive online iPod where you can spin the wheel, click through the menus and even play a song. A nice little walk down memory lane.

OLED iPad Air Could Finally Arrive in Early 2027

Apple is once again rumoured to be preparing an OLED iPad Air, with both the 11-inch and 13-inch models tipped to receive the upgraded display sometime in the first half of 2027.

This rumour has been circulating for quite a while without anything actually eventuating, but it may finally be getting a little closer. If it does happen, it would be a welcome display improvement for the iPad Air range.
