Friday’s best deals! 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro refurb $399 off, Twelve South gear, much more

If you can believe it, it’s Friday once again! We’re of course rounding up all of the best discounts heading into the weekend, and today we have three notable Apple offers. First up, a $399 discount has arrived on Apple’s 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro in a rare refurbished sale. That fits in perfectly with Twelve South’s versatile HoverBar Duo iPad stand at $39, and is joined by this ongoing price cut on the refreshed Apple TV Siri Remote at $50. Hit the jump for all of the best deals and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Apple’s 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro sees $399 refurb discount

Woot is now discounting an assortment of certified refurbished previous-generation iPad models. All starting with some ultra-affordable offerings from $120, our top pick however is marking down the 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro 256GB to $799.99. Down from its original $1,199 price tag, this $399 discount is delivering a new all-time low. For comparison, the new M2 counterpart sells for $1,169 right now, making today’s price cut a more affordable option to consider for a flagship tablet.

Even now that the new 2022 model has arrived, the now previous-generation iPad Pro still provides a compelling iPadOS experience centered around 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 the differences between the new M2 and older M1 models aren’t all that important, today’s discount is a notable way to bring home a flagship tablet for far less. Dive into our hands-on review.

Save 35% on Twelve South’s versatile HoverBar Duo iPad stand

The official Twelve South Amazon storefront is currently discounting its HoverBar Duo iPad Stand to $39. Down from the $60 it typically fetches these days, you’re looking at 35% in savings. This is the second-best price to date at within $1.50 of the all-time low from back in November, and the best we’ve seen since. This is also $9 under our previous holiday mention. Ready to pair with everything from Apple’s flagship 12.9-inch M2 iPad Pro to the compact iPad mini 6, Twelve South HoverBar Duo arrives as quite the versatile tablet accessory. As we’ve come to expect from Twelve South, there’s a premium build that in this case pairs with three points of articulation to help adjust the viewing angle of your device. And living up to its name, HoverBar Duo also has a 2-in-1 design that props up an iPad on a desk or clamp underneath a cabinet. Get a closer look in our launch coverage. 

Give your old Apple TV the refreshed Siri Remote with a discount to $50

Woot offers the latest Apple TV Siri Remote for $50. While you’d more regularly pay $59, today’s offer marks the first price cut in over a month and the lowest we’ve seen in roughly 10 months. It’s a rare chance to save in any case, but also delivers $9 in savings to mark the second-best price. Arriving as the latest companion to the Apple TV lineup, the new Siri Remote refreshes the home theater controls with an all-new design that ditches the touchscreen-enabled offerings of the past. If you’re still rocking one of Apple’s previous-generation set top boxes, this is a great way to upgrade the experience without replacing the entire unit.

ESR’s latest HaloLock MagSafe power banks for iPhone 14 on sale

ESR’s official Amazon storefront now offers the HaloLock Kickstand 10,000mAh MagSafe Battery Pack for $49. Normally fetching $60, today’s offer amounts to $10 in savings while delivering one of the first chances to save to date. This accessory just launched back alongside the iPhone 14 series last fall and arrives with an array of integrated magnets that enable the MagSafe charging tech at the second-best price ever. Just like Apple’s official model, it sports a 7.5W output for 14 series handsets, but then steps up with a 10,000mAh internal battery and built-in kickstand. There’s also a 5,000mAh model available for $36, down from its usual $46 going rate to also mark the second-best price yet. 

Ditching the built-in kickstand, ESR also has a recently-released HaloLock MagSafe Battery Pack that’s a bit more affordable. Dropping down to $38 for the larger 10,000mAh capacity, this is one of the first price cuts from the usual $50 going rate. It’s $3 under our previous mention and marking a new all-time low. Those who only need 5,000mAh of portable power can also score the smaller capacity version at $30, down from $40. Each of these pack much of the same features as the lead deal, just without the ability to prop up your device. They’re of course less expensive, too.

Score Shargeek’s classic Macintosh-themed 35W USB-C GaN Charger at $32

Shargeek’s official Amazon storefront is now offering its Retro 35 USB-C GaN III Charger for $32. Normally fetching $59, this charger just recently dropped to $53 and is now down an extra 40% in order to deliver a match of the Amazon all-time low. This is still one of the first times we’ve seen it anywhere close to this low, too.

Featuring a 35W output, this USB-C GaN III charger sports a single port that can top off everything from iPhone 14 to iPads and even the latest MacBook Air. Its design is clearly inspired by the classic Macintosh, with a nifty little faux screen on the front that glows different colors based on the charging status.
