One of the best prices ever means you can score Apple’s 11-inch iPad Pro Magic Keyboard at just $180. It comes joined by a pair of rare deals on cellular Apple Watch Series 9 stainless steel styles, as well as Samsung’s 32-inch AirPlay 2 Smart Monitor at $400 – an all-time low. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Apple’s 11-inch iPad Pro Magic Keyboard at $180
Amazon is now offering one of the best discounts we have ever seen on Apple’s latest 11-inch M2 iPad Pro Magic Keyboard. The first-party accessory drops to $180, down from its usual $299 price tag. It’s the second-best offer we’ve seen at $119 off, and is the lowest for a new condition model since all the way back at the start of last year. This is $20 under the Black Friday pricing last fall, too. Today’s deal comes just after the reveal that Apple will be skipping an actual event for its new iPad reveals this month. You can get a closer look in our hands-on review.
Designed for both of the latest iterations of 11-inch iPad Pro, including the new M2 and original M1 models, Magic Keyboard arrives with the accessory’s signature floating hinge design and Smart Connector support, as well as the dedicated USB-C charging port. The folio form-factor houses a backlit keyboard and the trackpad, which elevate the iPadOS experience. This model comes in both black and white designs, too.
Save $185 on cellular Apple Watch Series 9 stainless steel styles
Amazon is now offering some of the best prices yet on cellular Apple Watch Series 9 stainless steel styles. Pricing on these higher-end wearables now starts at $514 for the 41mm GPS + Cellular configuration. It drops from the usual $699 price tag and is the second-best offer we’ve seen at $185 off. It’s also the lowest we’ve seen outside of a 1-day discount earlier in the year. Today’s savings carries over to the 45mm GPS + Cellular model at $598. This is down from $749 and saves you $151 while marking the second-best price since Black Friday. Go check out our coverage for a closer look.
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 that just rolled out at the end of last year, as well as a build that is the first carbon neutral release from Apple.
Samsung’s 32-inch AirPlay 2 Smart Monitor hits $400
Amazon is now offering Samsung’s previous-generation M80C 32-inch 4K Smart Monitor for $400. Today’s offer marks a $300 discount from its usual $700 price tag and is the first time we’ve seen it this low in months. It matches the best-ever discount which we last saw over the holiday shopping season last fall, and beats our previous mention from CES 2024 by an extra $50. Samsung’s new iteration of the M8 monitor arrives with much of the same design and feature set as last year’s model, just with the upgrades you can read about in our launch coverage.
Samsung’s M8 Smart Monitor arrives with a sleek form-factor that makes this more like an iMac than a secondary monitor, all while housing a 32-inch 4K panel. The smart functionality is another major perk, with onboard AirPlay 2 integration being joined by access to all of the popular streaming services, built-in access to Microsoft Office, and even video calling features with a detachable webcam. There’s also HDR 10+ support for the screen, as well as the ability to configure it in a portrait orientation with a pivoting stand.
Save on Satechi’s new dark grey SM1 Slim mechanical keyboard
Satechi’s official Amazon storefront now offers its new SM1 Slim Mechanical Keyboard for $85. This discounts the just-released Dark Grey style, which launched at the very end of February after the original version debuted at CES 2024 in January. Today’s price cut is $15 off the usual $100 price tag, the only discount on this model, and comes within $5 of the only other price cut that was live at launch for the light grey version. We break down what to expect in our launch coverage, too.
The new Satechi SM1 Slim joins the company’s other Bluetooth keyboards and enters with a very fresh design that’s unlike any of its other peripherals. Most of the previous releases looked to emulate the look and feel of Apple’s own keyboards, and now its newest is taking a more unique approach with a mechanical build. It still works with your Mac just the same, and even has backlighting so you can type in the dark – a feature that can work for 16.5 hours thanks to the built-in battery. Disabling the lighting will net you 2 months of use between charges.
Dock your iPhone 15, Apple Watch, and AirPods on Twelve South HiRise 3
Amazon is now discounting one of our favorite StandBy companions – the Twelve South HiRise 3. This 3-in-1 MagSafe-compatible stand drops to $85 from its usual $100 price tag. It’s the first discount since back at the very beginning of December when it was an extra $5 off in a sitewide sale for 9to5Mac readers. Now it’s $15 off and clocking in at the third-best price for the black colorway. This is a personal favorite in the world of 7.5W MagSafe chargers, which I detail over in my hands-on review.
Designed to accommodate your entire Apple kit, Twelve South’s new 3-in-1 charging stand is centered around MagSafe tech with a 7.5W pad resting on an elevated stand. Right behind the main iPhone 15 charger is a place to rest your new Apple Watch Series 9, all of which sits above a 5W Qi pad on the base for topping off AirPods and the like. It’s one of our favorite budget picks for those who don’t need full 15W speeds, but still want an elegant stand for using StandBy at your nightstand or desk.
