If you have kids returning to school or college, the back to school sales are great timing to equip them with tech that can help them carry out their study assignments.
Apple last month launched its own back to school promotion, offering a $150 gift card with qualifying Mac and iPad purchases, and you can also pick up some great deals on Amazon, too.
We’ve rounded up a number of perfect tech options for kids returning to school below.
inateck AceTouch — the ultra-light, colorful keyboard case for iPad
If you’re looking for an affordable way to add a protective case, screen, stand, and keyboard to an iPad, inateck has you covered with the AceTouch. It transforms your iPad into a travel-ready laptop for work anywhere, anytime.
A keyboard is the single best productivity accessory for an iPad, and the AceTouch is a full-function model with a Mac-like design, featuring function keys and clickable trackpad (98x55mm) supporting all of the Apple shortcuts. You can use the trackpad to drag, scroll, zoom, swipe between full screen apps and more. Palm Rejection guards against accidental touches.
Attach for laptop mode. Detach for tablet mode.
The magnetic detachable design means the keyboard attaches automatically and takes just a second to detach. Pair it with the 20-70° flexible kickstand, which supports both horizontal and vertical viewing angles, offering a wide range of scenarios, all in one case.
The AceTouch is 200 grams lighter than other full function keyboards at just 450g and only 0.3 inches thick, while the scissor switches with 1.5mm short key travel ensure fast and comfortable typing. This makes it light enough for daily carry in any bag.
It’s compatible with the iPad (A16) 11th Gen, 10th-gen iPad, 10.9-inch iPad Air (4th & 5th gen), 11-inch iPad Air (M2 to M4), and 11-inch iPad Pro (1st to 4th gen).
Find your color. Find your style. Designed with a modern minimalist aesthetic, nine vibrant colors, and a lightweight profile, this keyboard adds a touch of personality to your iPad.
Available now in a wide range of colors from $41.99 (30% off!)
Anker Nano Power Strip
The Anker Nano Power Strip is a super-neat 10-in-one unit to keep a whole range of Apple devices powered while at a desk.
A clever clamp mechanism enables you to position it exactly where you want it, keeping it safely in place while hiding the main bulk underneath your desk. The visible part of the unit is smaller than an iPhone 17 Pro Max and thinner than AirPods Pro 3.
You can use it to simultaneously charge a MacBook, monitor, iPad, iPhone, AirPods, and more using a combination of power outlets and USB ports. The GaN charging technology delivers up to 70W while built-in surge protection and overload protection with instant cut-off keep all of your devices protected.
ESR 3-in-1 Charging Station
If you’re looking for a compact bedside setup to keep your essential Apple devices charged, the ESR 3-in-1 charging station handles an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods case.
The Qi 2.2 charger delivers up to 25W for the latest iPhone models and is of course compatible with all earlier MagSafe iPhones. Built-in CryoBoost cooling keeps your phone temperature lower during charging to help extend battery life. The fan can be switched off for silent running at night.
All Apple Watch models and all AirPods cases with wireless charging capabilities are supported. The device is also ideal as a travel charger, folding down to 4.33 x 2.44 x 0.62 inches.
Apple AirPods Max 2
The AirPods Max 2 are the latest generation model of Apple’s top-end over-ear headphones with ANC, adaptive audio, personalized spatial audio, live translation and more.
Designed with a breathable knit-mesh canopy, memory foam, custom textile ear cushions, and telescoping arms, the headphones are designed to combine comfort with a perfect fit. You can choose between five vibrant colors.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 5
There’s no doubt that AirPods are among the most popular in-ear headphones out there, but if you’re looking for a more affordable alternative, the Anker Soundcore Liberty 5 noise-canceling earbuds are a great choice.
They combine real-time adaptive ANC with fast charging and long battery life. When listening to music, hi-res audio, LDAC, HearID Sound 4.0, and Dolby Audio work together to optimize quality and add depth. For phone calls, a combination of six microphones and AI-enhanced active noise cancellation make for clearer calls. Multipoint connectivity makes it quick and easy to switch between devices.
The headphones offer up to twelve hours on a single charge, boosted to 48 hours with the case. A ten minute fast charge provides five hours of use.
4-pack of 2nd-gen AirTags
AirTags are a great way to keep track of bags, cameras and other expensive or important possessions while on the move. This deal gets you a great price on a four-pack of the latest second-generation model.
MagSafe PopSockets
One of the most popular iPhone accessories of the moment, the PopSocket grip provides a safe and secure way to hold an iPhone with one hand while also doubling as a stand.
The metal enamel finish provides a clean, premium look – with a wide range of colour and pattern options.
Oeli XTREM iPhone Case with E-ink screen
Finally, a fun option. The Oeli XTREM is an iPhone case with a difference: it offers a built-in e-ink display, customizable via a companion app.
It requires no battery, but is instead charged from the phone via NFC. As with all E-ink displays, no power is needed to show the photo, only to update it, meaning absolutely negligible impact on your phone’s battery life.
Choose between your own photos and designs created by others in the app community. You can also use it to mirror your iPhone screen to take selfies with the rear cameras.
