Anker Gold Box takes up to 40% off iPhone accessories

The official Anker Amazon store is now offering up to 40% off a range of its charging gear and USB-C cables. One standout is the Anker Wireless PowerWave Magnetic 2-in-1 Stand Charger at $34. While we have seen this one the $40 range, it can go for as much as $50 or more at Amazon and is now up to 32% off the going rate.

Compatible with iPhone 12 and 13 models, it provides a magnetic perch for smartphone as well as a charging pad on the base for your AirPods and other Qi-ready gear. The stand itself supports both horizontal and vertical orientations with an adjustable viewing angle while the included USB-C charging cable connects to all of your compatible wall chargers (there are also some of those on sale today, too.)

Apple’s latest M1 iMac starting at $1,199

Amazon is currently discounting Apple’s latest M1 iMac starting at $1,199 for the entry-level 7-core/8GB/256GB model. Normally fetching $1,299, you’re looking at only the second Amazon price cut on this configuration as well as the best price in months. The elevated 8-core model is down to $1,599, saving you $100 in the process and marking a new all-time low. 

Apple’s latest M1 iMac was refreshed last year with Apple Silicon under the hood alongside a drastically redesigned exterior to match. Rocking a 4K Retina display with True Tone and a 1080p FaceTime camera, there’s also six speakers capable of delivering Spatial Audio playback. Not to mention, a pair of Thunderbolt ports and up to 512GB of storage to round out the package with 8GB of RAM. Get a closer look in our first impressions coverage.

Apple’s Magic Keyboard for 11-inch iPad Pro drops to $229

Alongside these ongoing M1 iPad Pro discounts, Walmart today is now offering the Apple 11-inch Magic Keyboard for $229. Down from $299, you’re looking at the best discount since August at $70 off. Apple’s Magic Keyboard brings an improved typing experience to your iPad Pro or latest iPad Air centered around a unique floating hinge design that allows for an adjustable viewing angle.

That’s alongside Smart Connector support and a built-in USB-C port that’s dedicated for supplying power to your device. There’s also backlit keys and a built-in trackpad that pairs with iPadOS for a compelling on-the-go workstation. On top of working with previous-generation iPad Pros, this will also work with the latest M1 device, as well. Get a closer look in our hands-on review.

Philips Hue’s White Ambiance smart starter set hits $60

Philips Hue is currently offering its White Ambiance Smart 4-Bulb HomeKit Starter Set for $60. Normally fetching $120, you’re looking at 50% in savings and a new all-time low. Including everything you need to get started with the popular Philips Hue ecosystem, this starter kit packs four white LED smart bulbs. 

On top of just being dimmable, each of these White Ambience bulbs have adjustable lighting temperatures for cool illumination in the morning and warmer hues at night. That’s alongside the HomeKit-enabled bridge, which allows the entire package to work with Siri, Alexa, and Assistant right out of the box.
