Apple Watch Series 9 45mm cellular styles see first discounts
Amazon is now offering some of the first chances to save on the new Apple Watch Series 9. This time applying to 45mm GPS + Cellular styles, pricing drops down to $490 across a series of different designs. Each one is down from the usual $529 price tag while marking new all-time lows at $39 off. These are the first chances to save on this configuration, and comes joined by markdowns on the standard GPS editions in both 41mm at $390, and 45mm at $420.
Now centered around the new S9 chip, Apple Watch Series 9 arrives with much of the same build as previous models – just with some enhancements. It’ll still provide the same fitness tracking experience as before, but now packs a 3,000-nit screen that can turn all the way down to 1-nit. There’s newfound pinch detection for one-handed interactions with your wearable, as well as a build that is the first carbon neutral release from Apple.
Apple’s latest M2 Mac mini now just $499
Apple’s latest M2 Mac mini didn’t go on sale over the fall Prime Day festivities earlier in the week, but now that changes as we head into the weekend. Courtesy of B&H, Apple’s latest and most portable machine is now discounted to $499 for the 256GB model. It’s down from the usual $599 price tag while saving you $100. This is the first chance to save in over a month as well, while matching the all-time low. We detail what to expect from the experience in a recent hands-on review.
Apple’s all-new M2 Mac mini refreshes a beloved form-factor to feature its latest-generation of in-house silicon. There’s that same compact build that has made previous versions so popular amongst first-time Mac owners, as well as streamlined workstation users and homelabbers alike. The improved performance of the M2 chip also pairs with dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, a pair of USB-A slots, an HDMI output, and Gigabit Ethernet. You’ll also find Wi-Fi 6E, and at least an 8-core CPU backed by a 10-core GPU and at least 256GB of storage.
ZAGG’s new Pro Stylus 2 with magnetic charging for iPad Pro
Amazon is now offering one of the first discounts on the new ZAGG Pro Stylus 2. It’s now dropping down to $56 from its usual $80 price tag. This is only the second chance to save so far at 30% off, coming within $4 of the best discount ever from a sitewide sale. The new Pro Stylus 2 from ZAGG arrives as a more affordable alternative to Apple Pencil 2. It comes in one of five fun styles that add a bit more color to your iPad Pro setup, with the same magnetic charging tech. On top of support for standard Qi chargers, there’s also full support for every iPad going back to 2018 – so it’ll work with more than just the Pro series. There’s palm rejection, tilt recognition, and six hours of use on a single charge.
