It’s iPhone 14 pre-order day, and we’re notably tracking quite a few first-party accessory discounts to kick things off.

And for those eagerly awaiting Apple Watch Series 8 models to arrive, official Sport Bands start from $25. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
MagSafe Charger drops to $30 for iPhone 14 pre-order day
It’s iPhone 14 pre-order day, and for those upgrading to Apple’s all-new handsets, Verizon is marking down one of the must-have first-party accessories. Right now you can score the official Apple MagSafe Charger for $30. Also available for the same price at Woot. Down from the usual $39 price tag, today’s offer amounts to $9 in savings, matches our previous mention, and is the best price in months.
Whether you have a shiny new iPhone 14 series handset arriving next Friday or just want to finally try out the tech with an existing 12 or 13 series handset, Apple’s MagSafe Charger is quite the notable buy on sale. It provides 15W charging speeds and will magnetically snap right onto the back of your device.
Outfit your iPhone 14 with Apple’s Leather MagSafe Wallet
Alongside the official MagSafe charger, Woot is now also offering the original Apple Leather MagSafe Wallet for $30. Originally fetching $59, today’s offer amounts to $29 in savings while delivering one of the best prices to date at $10 under our previous July mention.
While not the latest models with Find My integration, this official Apple MagSafe Leather Wallet sports much of the same features otherwise for iPhone 13 and 12 series owners. The specially tanned and finished European leather build pairs with built-in magnets to snap right onto the back of your device, and can hold two different IDs or bank cards in place. Get a closer look in our hands-on review.
Official Apple Watch Sport Bands are Series 8-ready from $25
Amazon is now discounting a selection of Apple Watch Sport Bands in several colorways. Headlining is the Midnight style at $37, which is matched at Best Buy and drops down from its usual $49 going rate. Delivering a new all-time low, this is one of the first discounts we’ve seen on this specific colorway and arrives as that best price status with 25% in savings in tow. There are also other offerings detailed below starting at $25.
Comprised of a soft, breathable high-performance fluoroelastomer material, the official Apple Watch Sport Bands arrive in a variety of colors to either mix up the daily stylings of your wearable or refresh an aging option. Already ideal for working out and other tasks, the Nike+ editions which are also on sale double down on the fitness-focused design with compression-molded holes for added comfort. Check out all of the options here.
Save $100 on M2 MacBook Air
Amazon is now offering one of the very first price cuts on Apple’s all-new 13-inch M2 MacBook Air. Right now the entry-level 8GB/256GB Midnight model has dropped to $1,099 shipped. That’s down from the usual $1,199 it typically fetches and marks the only time we’ve seen Amazon offer up any savings. At $100 off, today’s offer is a new all-time low overall, as well.
Apple’s all-new M2 MacBook Air comes powered by its latest in-house chip and pairs with a refreshed form-factor. The 13-inch Liquid Retina Display sports a 500-nit brightness to complete the P3 wide color support and pairs with a 1080p FaceTime camera with three-mic array and Spatial Audio-enabled speakers. Though the real highlight has to be the return of MagSafe charging, which pairs with other I/O like dual Thunderbolt ports. Learn more about the entry-level configuration’s performance.
Wemo’s HomeKit Stage Scene Controller with Thread falls to new $40 low
Amazon is now offering the Wemo HomeKit Stage Scene Controller with Thread for $40. Normally fetching $50, this is one of the first overall discounts to date at 20% off. We’ve seen some quite small discounts so far, but this is the first sizable one and a new all-time low at that.
Proving a unique way to command your smart home, the Scene Controller can be configured to set off nine different scenes or automations in your HomeKit setup. Depending on whether you just click the light switch-like design or long press and double tap, you’ll be able to control smart lights and other accessories. We also found it to be a must-have for those in the Siri ecosystem in our HomeKit Weekly feature from earlier in the year.
