Apple’s 12.9-inch M2 iPad Pro now starts at best price of the year
As the weekend rolls in, Amazon is now offering the most affordable price of the year on Apple’s latest 12.9-inch M2 iPad Pro. Now on sale starting at $1,000, you can secure the Wi-Fi 128GB configuration for a new 2023 low. It typically fetches $1,099 and now lands within $1 of the all-time low from November. Today’s price cut is $50 under our previous mention, as well, and comes joined by $99 discounts on two other storage capacities detailed below.
Apple’s latest flagship iPadOS experience comes powered by the new M2 chip and backed by an 8-core CPU with 10-core GPU. The latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro delivers all of the high-end features we’ve come to expect from the form factor, with a 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display being complemented by ProMotion for smooth scrolling, True Tone for adjusting the tint to your surroundings, and P3 wide color support so all of your content looks as accurate as it should. Taking full advantage of the M2 chip is a Thunderbolt port, as well as Apple Pencil 2 connectivity and support for the new hover feature you can read all about right here.

Twelve South’s new HiRise Pro MacBook stand is a 9to5 favorite
Just after walking away impressed in our hands-on review, Amazon is now offering a chance to save on Twelve South’s new HiRise Pro. This MacBook stand normally sells for $100, but now you can drop the price down to $84. This is one of the first chances to save across the board, particularly a new all-time low courtesy of Amazon at $16 off. We last saw it sitting at $88 in a limited-time sale back on April Fools’ Day, which marked it down for the first time.
The HiRise Pro MacBook stand is Twelve South’s latest addition to the lineup and can adjust from 2.5 inches all the way up to elevating your machine 6 inches off the desk, with a tilted design. On top of being able to hold everything from M1 MacBook Airs to 16-inch M2 Pro MacBook Pro models, there’s also an integrated spot in the base that hides below the metal and vegan leather-trimming for putting a MagSafe charger. This helps streamline your workstation with a hidden iPhone 14 charger. Best of all, this is the second chance to save since first hitting the scene earlier this year and is a new all-time low. We further break down what to expect in our hands-on review.
Beats Studio Buds come in six colorways
Amazon is now offering Beats Studio Buds for $100 in all six colors. Down from its usual $150 going rate, regardless of which colorway catches your interest, today’s offer lands at 33% off. It’s $20 under our previous March mention and comes within $10 of the year’s best price last set back in January. Beats Studio Buds arrive as some of the brand’s latest workout companions, delivering a true wireless form factor that’s ideal for tagging along on workouts as well as your typical daily wear, with active noise cancellation joining the feature set on top of a transparency mode. Other notable inclusions like Hey Siri support, a compact charging case with USB-C that brings battery life up to 24 hours, and IPX4 water resistance complete the package. Dive into our hands-on review for a closer look.
If you’re still smitten with the exercise focus on the featured pair of earbuds but would also like to save some extra cash, the Beats Flex Earbuds are certainly worth a look instead. Right now, you’ll pay $50 at Amazon with these workout companions delivering a corded design that yields up to 12 hours of listening time on a single charge, sweat resistance, and a more affordable fitness experience. Now on sale from the usual $70 going rate, these land at the second-best price of the year at within $1 of the 2023 low.
Eve Room monitors spring temperature shifts with HomeKit at $75
With warm weather now rolling in across much of the country, knowing just how warm your space is can help you monitor when it’s time to turn on the AC. Or at the very least get a fan blowing. Eve’s Room Air Quality sensor is one of the best options on the market for embedding that functionality right into your smart home. Right now, Amazon is marking the HomeKit accessory down to $75. That’s down from $100 and delivering $25 in savings alongside a new 2023 low. It’s $5 under our previous mention, too.
Much the same as the original version, Eve Room delivers all of the same air quality monitoring and HomeKit support as before, just with Thread integration built in alongside Bluetooth connectivity. With an E-ink display packed into its aluminum frame, you’ll find temperature and humidity tracking on top of being able to keep tabs on airborne particle readings. Eve also just started rolling out Matter support back in December, too. Dive into our launch coverage for some additional info.
This 10,000mAh MagSafe power bank pairs iPhone 14 with a translucent design
Translucent tech has been all the rage as of late, as accessory makers all look to bring back that late 90s and early 2000s aesthetic. MOMAX is one of the more recent brands to tap the nostolgic design cues, with its 10,000mAh MagSafe Power Bank now on sale courtesy of Amazon. Dropping down to $25, today’s offer is down from its usual $46 going rate. Marking the first time we’ve seen it fall under $30, today’s offer amounts to 45% in savings in order to deliver a new all-time low.
This MOMAX MagSafe power bank comes centered around an internal 10,000mAh battery which can refuel your iPhone 14, as well as previous-generation 12 and 13 series handsets, with 7.5W speeds. That’s the standard for MagSafe power banks across the board, but the brand does supplement the experience with a 20W USB-C PD output, as well as an origami-style foldout stand. Though the big draw is its transparent design that shows off all the internal charging tech.
