iPad Air 5 hits $559 in five colors for Thursday’s best deals, Beats Fit Pro $180, more

All of today’s best deals are now headlined by iPad Air 5 at $559 in all five colors. That’s alongside another chance to save on Beats Fit Pro ANC earbuds at $180 and Anker MacBook USB-C hubs from $21. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

iPad Air 5 drops to $559 in all five colorways

Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest iPad Air 5 in all five colorways for $559. Down from the usual $599 price tag, this is the lowest we’ve seen for many colors in the sale, though this discount does come within $10 of the all-time low across the lineup. So at $40 off, you’re at least looking at the second-best price to date. You can also save on the elevated 256GB model at $679, down from $749.

Bringing Apple’s Neural Engine-backed M1 chip to a more affordable form-factor, the new iPad Air 5 arrives with the same same desktop-class performance as its other machines. Its 12MP Ultra Wide front camera packs Center Stage support, and the 10.9-inch display rocks True Tone, P3 wide color support, and an anti-reflective 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.

Beats Fit Pro ANC earbuds with H1 chip drop to $180

Amazon is discounting a pair of Beats true wireless earbuds, with the all-new Beats Fit Pro leading the way. Now dropping in price for one of the first times, the recent debuts sit at $180 in four different styles. Typically fetching $200, this is only the fourth discount for a new condition pair at the retailer, saves you $20, and is the second-best price to date.

Beats Fit Pro just launched last fall as the brand’s latest flagship earbuds and have rarely been on sale since – delivering a workout-ready true wireless design, there’s IPX4 water-resistance and wingtip designs. Those in the Apple ecosystem will find its built-in H1 chip to be the star of the show, enabling Hey Siri support alongside fast pairing and more. Battery life clocks in at six hours, though the companion charging case will bump that up to 24. You can see how all of that stacks up in our hands-on review.

Outfit your M2 MacBook Air with Anker USB-C hubs from $21

Anker’s official Amazon storefront is discounting a selection of its in-house USB-C hubs for MacBooks and more. A top pick is the PowerExpand 6-in-1 USB-C PD Hub at $45. This one more regularly fetches $60, and is now down to the best price of the year at 25% off.

Ideal for the latest M2 MacBook Air, Anker’s USB-C hub packs six different ports to expand the I/O of your machine at the desktop or out and about. This one packs 65W power delivery over the host USB-C cable, and then also packs an additional USB-C slot. There’s a 4K30 HDMI output for connecting to a display, as well as Gigabit ethernet and two USB-A ports to round out the 5Gb/s of throughput. Shop some other options from $25.

Eve’s HomeKit Door and Window Sensor with Thread hits $31

Amazon is now offering the recently-refreshed Eve Door and Window Sensor with Thread for $31. Normally fetching $40, today’s offer amounts to over $8 in savings and marks a new all-time low. This is one of the first discounts to date period and is the first real chance to save since last October.

Updated with Thread connectivity, the refreshed Eve Door and Window sensor unlocks the capabilities of your Siri smart home. Hooking into all of the automations of your HomeKit setup, you can use this sensor to automatically turn on lights when a door is opened, not let the AC turn on if there’s a window open, and countless other things.
