Apple’s 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro is now on sale at $200 off

Amazon is now offering Apple’s new 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro Wi-Fi 256GB for $999 in Space Gray. Delivering a new all-time low at $200 off the going rate, today’s offer undercuts our previous mention by $100 to mark the best price to date at Amazon, or any other retailer for that matter.

Apple’s latest iPad Pro provides the most compelling experience yet from iPadOS with a long list of notable features headlined by a Liquid Retina XDR display with 1,600 nits of peak brightness and ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate. The iPad, of course, is powered by an M1 chip that’s backed by Thunderbolt connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, Apple Pencil support, and Face ID. Dive into our hands-on review.

With up to $295 off a series of different configurations on Apple’s latest machines at Expercom, you can secure your order ahead of time.

Headlining the new M1 Pro/Max machines is the latest flagship release in the form of the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Completely refreshed to go alongside the new chips, refinements carry over to just about everyday aspect of the new debut. You’re looking at the new 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display with 1600 nits of peak brightness to provide a brilliant viewing experience while running the latest Apple Silicon. With a choice of either the M1 Pro or M1 Max chip, there’s a versatile selection of I/O that all rests within a redesigned notebook form factor.

Best Buy launches early Black Friday Apple sale

After announcing its holiday shopping plans last week, Best Buy is now rolling out an early Black Friday sale. Delivering the best discounts of the year, everything in today’s sale also comes backed by the new Black Friday Price Guarantee to ensure you get the best price through the rest of the year. 

Our top pick is bundling the Apple HomePod mini with a Nanoleaf HomeKit Lightstrip at $150. Saving you $24 from the going rate on these two products, this package delivers a rare discount on both items and matches the best value we’ve seen to date. 

HomePod mini delivers a compact way to bring Siri, Apple Music, and smart home control to your space in a familiar, fabric-wrapped design. Alongside either white or black colorways, there’s a touchpad at the top to adjust audio playback as well as quick music handoff, thanks to the inclusion of Apple’s new U1 chip. Throw in the bundled lightstrip, and you’ll be able to kickstart your Thread and HomeKit smart home.

Score a new low on Sony’s XM4 ANC Headphones 

Amazon is now offering the Sony WH-1000XM4 ANC Bluetooth Headphones for $248 in several styles. Marking a new all-time low at $100 off, today’s discount beats previous mentions by $50 in order to offer the deepest savings to date.

Sony’s latest pair of headphones deliver improved active noise cancellation alongside up to 30 hours of playback on a single charge. On top of a new Bluetooth audio chip that can pair with two devices simultaneously, there’s also USB-C charging and built-in access to Alexa. You can also get a closer look in our launch coverage.

Grab three Philips Hue color HomeKit bulbs for $100

Amazon is now offering a 3-pack of Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance A19 LED Bluetooth Smart Bulbs for $100. Normally you’d pay $135 with today’s offer matching our previous mention from earlier this spring at 26% off.

A notable package for those just getting started in the Philips Hue ecosystem or expanding their existing setup, these bulbs feature both Zigbee and Bluetooth connectivity for working on their own or with the greater Hue environment. At just $33 each, this is a great way to add some multicolor lighting to your space or take advantage of HomeKit Adaptive Lighting that just rolled out. Other notable features include support for Alexa, Assistant, and Siri as well as full color illumination.
