All of today’s best deals are now up for the taking and headlined by a collection of official Apple iPhone 12 series MagSafe cases on sale from $20. That’s alongside a refurbished iPhone 11 sale at up to $499 off and this Apple Pencil 2 discount at $110. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Official Apple iPhone 12 series cases on sale from $20

Now that the all-new iPhone 13 has dropped, Amazon is clearing out previous-generation iPhone 12 series MagSafe cases. Delivering the second-best prices across much of the lineup, there are also some new all-time lows in the mix, too, starting at $20. Ranging from clear cases and silicone covers to leather offerings and more for your iPhone 12/Pro/Max/mini, there’s up to 60% in savings to be had across the lineup of MagSafe accessories.

Apple’s official MagSafe case covers your iPhone 12 or 12 Pro in a specially tanned and finished leather that’s complemented by machined buttons to round out the premium stylings. Alongside magnets that allow it to snap right onto the back of your device, there’s also support for Apple’s MagSafe charging features as well.

Save up to $499 on iPhone 11/Pro/Max

Today only, Woot has launched its latest iPhone sale with a series of certified refurbished unlocked handsets starting at $170. Most notably, we’re seeing new all-time lows across the iPhone 11 series starting at $440. Down from its usual $699 price tag, this is as much as $259 in savings while undercutting our previous mention by $20 in order to mark the best price yet. You’ll also be able to score iPhone 11 Pro from $590 alongside iPhone 11 Pro Max from $680, with as much as $499 in savings.

While much of the focus as of late is on upgrading to the newest handset from Apple, there’s still something to be said for the value offered by the iPhone 11 series. Starting with a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD display and going up from there, you’re also looking at other staples across the handsets like Face ID, the A13 Bionic chip, and two or more cameras around back. You can get a closer look in our hands-on review.

Apple Pencil 2 drops to $110

After seeing the new iPad mini go up for pre-order for last week, a fitting discount has arrived on the must-have Apple Pencil 2. Right now at Woot, you can score the accessory for $110. Normally fetching $129, you’re looking at the third-best price to date that’s the best since the end of August, when it had dropped to $99.

Whether you just pre-ordered the latest iPadOS experience from Apple or are finally ready to take its stylus for a ride, this discount makes Apple Pencil 2 even more of a must-have. Alongside a refreshed design that magnetically snaps onto the side of your iPad for charging and storage, it’ll also upgrade your digital art game alongside note taking and more.

Save $40 on Apple’s new iPad mini 2021 with launch day delivery

After shipping delays have started to set in, you can still score Apple’s all-new iPad mini 2021 with launch day delivery on sale. Dropping to $459 for the 64GB model in all four colors, you’re saving $40 from the going rate on Amazon while marking the best discount yet.

The latest iteration of the iPad mini arrives with the same full-screen edge-to-edge display that we’ve come to expect from all of the other recent iPads, just in an even more compact package. Its 8.3-inch display packs Touch ID into the power button and now comes powered by the A15 Bionic chip. Alongside up to 256GB of storage, there’s also the added perk of 5G connectivity on select models and Apple Pencil 2 support to round out the package.

Apple’s iPad Pro Magic Keyboards on sale from $257

Amazon is now offering some of the very first discounts on Apple’s new White Magic Keyboards for the latest M1 iPad Pros headlined by the 12.9-inch model at $330. Down from $349, you’re looking at the first Amazon discount to date at $19 off and a rare chance to save. Best Buy shoppers who don’t mind going the open-box route can also pick one up from $300. Apple’s Magic Keyboard was just refreshed alongside of the all-new M1 iPad Pros with a tweaked design to accommodate the slightly thicker tablets. Though the most notable of changes is that the accessory now comes in white, delivering a sleek appearance to complement your tablet. Otherwise, the entire experience is much the same as before. 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. Get a closer look in our hands-on review.

If you’re rocking the 11-inch version of Apple’s M1 iPad Pro, you can also take advantage of much the same savings noted above on the compatible white Magic Keyboard. Right now, Amazon has the accessory marked down to $290, which is only the second notable discount to date. You can also go the open-box route at Best Buy for $257, as well. Other than being designed for the smaller of Apple’s latest iPad Pros, this one has all of the same features as the lead deal.

SanDisk’s 1TB Extreme 1050MB/s USB-C SSD now $140

Amazon is now offering the SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable USB-C Solid-State Drive for $139.99 shipped. Also matched at Best Buy as part of its Deals of the Day. Originally $250 and still regularly going for up to $240 at Best Buy, this model has for the most part sold for between $160 and $170 at Amazon for most of 2021. Today’s offer is $10 below our previous mention and is the lowest we can find. The SanDisk Extreme portable SSD can move your files around at up to 1050MB/s, making for a great a daily back up machine. But it is also a notable EDC storage solution with a “durable” silicon shell, up to 2-meters of drop protection, as well as IP55 water- and dust-resistance for peace of mind when out and about. You’ll also find a handy carabiner-ready loop, USB-C connectivity (USB-A adapter included), and 256‐bit AES hardware encryption.
