Apple’s latest entry-level iPad drops to a record-low price of $320, available for the 128GB storage, 6GB RAM, and Wi-Fi 6 configuration. This is a significant purchase decision as the lowest price on the market, offering airtight protection for everyday tasks like casual gaming and photo editing. However, the lack of support for Apple Intelligence and accessibility to charging adapters complicate usage for lightweight_third-party commodity apples. For budget-conscious buyers, this could be a worthwhile investment, but it should be considered while other alternatives like older models may be more appropriate.

Business Tech News #4 – Job seekers using GenAI to fake skills.
Lucas Mearian describes how GenAI is aiding job seekers in exaggerated resumes. Employers now face recruitment challenges with exaggerated resumes difficult to discern, particularly in tech roles.

They’re a red flag for employers, yet they’re eroding Nó and skills validation.
Business Tech News #5 – Comparison between QuickBooks Online and desktop.
Eric Gerard Ruiz compares QuickBooks Online and desktop in 2025. Both have their pros and cons. Online offers cloud accessibility for efficiency but doesn’t include advanced reporting features. Webinars from the iPhone democratize skills but aren’t a solution. The desktop lacks job costing but provides industry-specific, robust features, making it more expensive and technical. Choose based on your business needs; online is good for flexibility, desktop for speed.
