All of Wednesday’s best deals are now up for grabs and headlined by a clearance sale on some of Apple’s M1-powered devices. Headlined by $200 off 12.9-inch iPad Pros, you’ll also be able to save the same amount on the M1 MacBook Air with a $799 all-time low attached. Then Twelve South’s leather BookBook iPad Pro cover rounds out the savings with the first discount to $56. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
M1 iPad Pro see deep clearance after new models launch
Apple just revealed its new lineup of iPad Pros yesterday, and if you’re not convinced by the latest-generation, Amazon is offering a rare chance to score one of the best prices to date on the M1-powered iPadOS experiences. Starting at $999, the 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro Wi-Fi 256GB is now sitting at the second-best price to date with $200 in savings attached. There’s also the very same $200 in savings applied to a wider collection of storage capacities and connectivity offerings in order to deliver near all-time low discounts.
Even with the new 2022 model just being announced, Apple’s previous-generation iPad Pro provides a compelling experience 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. That’s of course alongside an M1 chip to power the experience which is backed by Thunderbolt connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, Apple Pencil support, and Face ID. So if Apple’s newer and less-capable iPadOS device won’t cut it, today’s price cuts make it a little more affordable to step up to the pro side of the lineup. Dive into our hands-on review.
Save $200 on Apple’s M1 MacBook Air
Amazon now offers Apple’s 13-inch M1 MacBook Air 256GB for $799 in three different colors. Normally fetching $999, today’s offer amounts to $200 in savings while marking a return to the lowest price of the year for one of the first times. This is also the best price to date overall, delivering some added savings over the latest releases in the macOS stable.
While it isn’t that all-new version of Apple’s most portable MacBook, there is still something to be said for just how good of a value the original M1 MacBook Air still is, especially with as steep of a discount attached as you’ll find. Centered around a 13-inch Retina display with Apple Silicon under the hood, there’s also a pair of Thunderbolt ports supplemented by Wi-Fi 6 as well as 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. Get a better idea of its performance in our hands-on review.
Twelve South’s leather BookBook cover stylishly protects your 11-inch M2 iPad Pro
Amazon now offers the Twelve South BookBook Vol 2 for 11-inch iPad Pro at $56. Normally fetching $70, this accessory for both M1 and M2 iPad Pro is now on sale for the very first time. The 20% in savings deliver a new all-time low and for comparison, this is $1 under the only discount we’ve seen on the matching 12.9-inch model. Covering your iPad Pro in Twelve South’s signature handcrafted leather, this BookBook case lives up to its name with a design that draws inspiration from old school book covers. There’s room inside for your 11-inch iPad Pro as well as the companion Magic Keyboard, with a zippered design for keeping everything in place. Dive into our launch coverage of the newer cream interior style for a better idea of what to expect, and then head below for some additional info.
Apple’s latest AirPods 3 see first discount in over a month at $150
Walmart is now offering the first discount in months on Apple’s latest AirPods 3 with MagSafe charging case. Clocking in at $150, you’d more regularly pay $179 with today’s offer delivering a match of our previous menton. This is the lowest since further back in the summer and a rare chance to bring these home for less than retail thanks to the $29 discount.
If you’re not sold on the new AirPods Pro 2, Apple’s latest entry-level earbuds just launched back in October and most notably arrive with a redesigned casing that takes a page out of the pro version’s book. While you’re ditching the silicone eartips, AirPods 3 arrive with much of the same Spatial Audio support, as well as added water-resistance for tagging along on runs or workouts. Plus, there’s the nifty new MagSafe charging case that provides 30 hours of listening to complete the package.
Apple’s 10.2-inch iPad is an even better value at $269
Yesterday, Apple revealed its new 10th generation iPad with an increased price tag to go alongside the rest of its updated feature set. So for those who want something a bit more entry-level, the previous-generation 10.2-inch iPad is a much better buy and Amazon is making that even more the case thanks to a discount today. Dropping the entry-level Wi-Fi 64GB model down to $269, you can now score a match of the all-time low. This is down from the usual $329 price tag while delivering $60 in savings and a match of the best price set only once before.
While not the latest entry-level iPad experience, the 10.2-inch model on sale today still comes powered by the A13 Bionic chip that’s said to be 20% faster than its predecessor. As for how Apple is applying all that extra power, you’ll enjoy additional features like True Tone support for the 10.2-inch screen alongside Center Stage in the new 12MP ultrawide camera that automatically adjusts the crop and zoom of your selfie camera depending on who and where they are in the shot.
