Apple’s new Retina 5K iMacs fall to Amazon all-time lows

Amazon is currently taking up to $109 off Apple’s all-new 2020 Retina 5K 27-inch iMac headlined by the 3.1GHz/8GB/256GB model for $1,700. Typically you’d pay $1,799 for this just-released machine, with today’s offer saving you $99, marking the first price cut at Amazon, and beating our previous mention by $6. This is also the best price to date.

Apple’s new Retina 5K iMac delivers a 27-inch display and comes powered by 10th Gen. Intel CPUs with an AMD Radeon Pro 5300 graphics card. This model is outfitted with 8GB of RAM and boasts a 256GB solid-state drive. Alongside two Thunderbolt 3 ports, there are also four USB-A slots, Gigabit Ethernet, an SD card reader, and more. Ideal for being ready for the upcoming online school semester, web browsing, content creation, and more.

Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular gets $50 discount

Sam’s Club is currently offering Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular at $249 for the 38mm version or $279 on the 42mm style. Both equate to $50 off and a rare discount from the regular going rate. Just about every other retailer online is currently charging full price and today’s deal is the best we’ve seen in 2020. The standard GPS version is still on sale at Amazon from $169, which is a $30 savings from the regular going rate.

iPhone X Leather Folio Case at new low of $38

Amazon is currently offering the Apple iPhone X/S Leather Folio Case for $38 in Berry. Having originally retailed for $99, we’ve more recently seen it trending around $65. Today’s offer amounts to over 40% in savings, beats our previous mention by $8, and marks the lowest we’ve seen to date in any style. Apple’s Folio case wraps your handset in finished European leather that “fits snugly” around your iPhone with machined aluminum buttons to complement the design. There’s also two card slots, so you can store your ID, credit cards and more. Plus, the case will wake up your iPhone when opening the folio. Learn more in our hands-on review.

iPhone XS for just $1 per month on AT&T

AT&T is currently offering customers the Apple iPhone XS 64GB for just $1 per month for 30-months. This device has to be on a plan of at least $75 per month to qualify for the discount. For comparison, this phone sold for $999 new and goes for $699 refurbished at Apple right now. In total, you’ll save $870 over its retail price and pay just $30 total for the phone. The iPhone XS has a 5.8-inch Super Retina display with OLED HDR support, the A12 Bionic chip, and packs a dual 12 and 7MP camera setup. Face ID and Qi wireless charging are also available, delivering a well-rounded experience. Get a closer look in our review.
