Apple’s new White Magic Keyboards for M1 iPad Pros see rare open-box discounts

Best Buy is currently offering the very first discounts of any kind on Apple’s all-new White Magic Keyboards for the latest M1 iPad Pros. Headlining is the 12.9-inch model at $300. You may need to scroll down to the Buying Options section in order to select the Open-Box Excellent condition model on sale. Normally fetching $349, you’re looking at $49 in savings in order to deliver a new all-time low on the recent release. The 11-inch model is also discounted to $257, down from the usual $299 going rate.

Apple’s Magic Keyboard was just refreshed alongside the all-new M1 iPad Pros with a tweaked design to accommodate the slightly thicker tablets.

The unique floating hinge design pairs with Smart Connector support and a built-in USB-C to refuel your device, as well as a backlight keyboard and built-in trackpad to complete the feature set.

iPhone 12 mini arrives as Apple’s latest take on a more compact smartphone centered around a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR display. Inside, you’ll get all of the power of the larger iPhone 12 series, handsets thanks to the A14 Bionic processor, which comes backed by 64GB of storage, 5G, and Face ID. Returning to that refreshed form factor, there’s now an updated design reminiscent of the beloved iPhone 4 that’s complemented by Ceramic Shield glass on the back and a dual sensor camera array.
