iPad Air 5 falls to new low at $70 off in Thursday’s best deals, MagSafe car mounts $34, more

All of today’s best deals are headlined by Apple’s just-released iPad Air 5 at a new low of $70 off. That’s alongside a pair of Tesla-ready Spigen MagSafe car mounts at $34 and a $300 discount on the DJI FPV Drone. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Apple’s just-released iPad Air 5 now $70 off

Amazon currently offers the new Apple 10.9-inch iPad Air 5 Wi-Fi 256GB for $679. Normally fetching $749, this is a new all-time low at $70 off while beating our previous launch day offer by $41. You can also save on 64GB models at $570, down from $599. Apple’s new iPad Air 5 arrives in the same 10.9-inch form-factor as we saw last time around, with some notable internal improvements to justify the refresh. 

Now powered by the same desktop-class architecture as other new Apple releases, there’s an M1 chip with Neural Engine at the center of the experience. Its 12MP Ultra Wide front camera comes backed by Center Stage support, and the 10.9-inch display rocks True Tone, P3 wide color support, and an antireflective coating. Staples from last time like Touch ID in the power button and Apple Pencil integration are onboard, as well. Learn more about iPad Air 5 over in our coverage at 9to5Mac.

Bring MagSafe to your Tesla with these Spigen OneTap mounts

Spigen’s official Amazon storefront is now offering its OneTap MagSafe Mount for Tesla Model 3/Y/S at $34 – you can also score a dashboard version for $34, as well. Down from $40 in either case, these $6 discounts are marking only the second price cuts of the year and matching the Amazon all-time lows set once before.

Designed to fit into different places of your Tesla, each of these Spigen mounts will allow you to mount an iPhone 12 or 13 series smartphone right on your dashboard or above the built-in touchscreen thanks to MagSafe. Either form-factor won’t charge your handset, but will provide a more convenient place to mount it in your Model 3/Y/S/X. 

DJI FPV Drone bundle with goggles returns to all-time low

Joining all of the other ongoing spring DJI discounts still up for the taking, Adorama currently offers all-new DJI FPV Drone Combo for $999. Taking $300 off the usual $1,299 price tag, this one is matching the all-time low while delivering the best price in nearly two months.

As one of the latest additions to the DJI stable, the FPV Drone delivers a more unique take that focuses more on getting action shots instead of your typical aerial photography. One of its more eye-catching stats is the 60MPH top speed that allows the drone to keep up with cars and capture footage in scenarios that DJI’s other offerings couldn’t. Dive into our hands-on review.

Apple Watch bands see rare discounts from $20

Amazon is now discounting a selection of official Apple Watch bands that were just updated for the new Series 7 models. Ranging from more sporty and workout-friendly additions to your wearable to some premium stylings and the like, shipping is free across the board. A highlight would have to be the Leather Link 45mm Apple Watch Band for $84.97. Down from $99, this is only the second notable discount to date and the second-best yet. Comprised of handcrafted Roux Granada leather made in France, this is certainly one of the more premium bands in Apple’s official stable. Alongside its stylish appearance, the Leather Link band also features a magnetic design that locks in place without having to fuss with a clasp. 

HYPER’s Sanho Duo 7-in-2 USB-C hub hits $66

HYPER’s official Amazon storefront is offering its 7-in-2 Sanho Duo USB-C Hub for Mac on sale at $66. Down from $100, you’re saving nearly 34% here and today’s deal marks one of the best prices of the year so far. This hub packs just about everything one could want in a modem adapter.

You’ll find 4K60 HDMI output, a USB-C 40Gb/s port capable of 100W PD charging passthrough and a USB-C 5Gb/s port with 60W PD charging. On top of that, there’s both microSD/SD support and dual USB-A ports to round things out. Plus, this hub features a magnetic grip that ensures it stays connected to your MacBook and there’s even an extension cord that reduces it down to a single cable to use with MagSafe charging, an iPad, or even a Windows machine.
