Wednesday deals: iPhone markdowns from $170 unlocked, Mac Accessory sale, iPad Air $400, more

Limited-time iPhone deals start at $170 fully unlocked, plus Amazon’s Gold Box offers Mac accessories, and iPad Air returns to $400. You can find all that and more in the latest edition of the 9to5Toys Lunch Break down below.

Woot’s refurb iPhone deals include recent models

Today only, Woot is offering various refurbished iPhone models from $170. You can pick up the iPhone XS from $500 or the larger XS Max starting at $550. Both are at least $100 less than our previous mention and down from the new condition starting price of $999. Both devices offer a Super Retina display with OLED HDR panels. Inside, you’ll find Apple’s A12 Bionic chip with support for FaceID. There are 12 and 7 MP cameras alongside support for wireless charging on the long list of notable specs. A 90-day warranty is included with purchase. Check out the entire sale here.

Mac accessories abound at Amazon today

Today only, Amazon is offering up to 40% off Mac/PC and gaming accessories. Starting from just below $25, everything in the sale ships free. Today’s sale includes a number of Mac accessories and game-streaming gear including Blue Yeti microphones as well as Razer’s Seiren Emote mic and more. You’ll also find some great prices on popular Audio-Technica recording gear as well as its ATH-series headphones starting from just $34.50. All that plus even more accessories for your Mac and gaming setups can be found in our coverage at 9to5Toys.

Latest iPad Air returns to $400

Best Buy is currently taking $99 off Apple’s 10.5-inch iPad Air, dropping the entry-level Wi-Fi 64 GB model down to $400. That’s a match of our previous mention that sold out quickly earlier this month, and the best we’ve seen since Cyber Monday. Apple’s latest iPad Air sports a 10.5-inch Retina display, 8 MP, and 7 MP cameras, and support for Apple Pencil. All are powered by the new A12 64-bit SoC processor. iPad Air beautifully bridges the gap between affordability and a larger display.

Pacsafe’s theft-proof Mac backpack falls to $72

Amazon is offering the Pacsafe Metrosafe 15-inch Laptop Backpack (LS450) for $72. That’s $47 off the typical rate there and beats the lowest Amazon offer we have tracked by $13. This bag sports a streamlined appearance that aims to keep your gear protected thanks to a theft-proof design. This is achieved by using lockable zippers and cut-proof materials. A built-in credit card pocket features RFID blocking to keep your accounts protected. The interior of this bag is ready for a 16-inch MacBook Pro, iPad, and more.

This Philips Hue Play light bundle includes $200 in value for $120

Best Buy is offering the Philips Hue Play Starter Kit with a $50 Best Buy gift card for $120. For comparison, Amazon has just the two Hue Play lights for $130 right now without the extra gift card or Hue Bridge. All-in-all, you’re getting around $200 worth of gear here. If you’re not in the Hue ecosystem yet, this starter kit includes the required Hue Bridge that’s HomeKit, Assistant, and Alexa compatible. Plus, with the bonus $50 gift card, you can pick up some extra gear to bolster your smart home even further.
