Ahead of this afternoon’s Apple event, all of the best deals are now up for grabs. Leading the way, we have a pair of rare 10.2-inch iPad discounts starting at $309. That’s joined by Anker’s latest iPhone gear sale from $13 and new lows on Logitech’s Combo Touch iPad Pro Keyboard Folios. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Apple’s latest 10.2-inch iPad discounts start at $309
Amazon is now offering the latest Apple 9th-generation 10.2-inch iPad Wi-Fi 32GB for $309. Normally fetching $329, this is a rare chance to score the most recent entry-level iPad in stock period, as it has been sold out for months now. This is the second-best price to date, too. You can also save $50 on the elevated 256GB version, which is down to $429.
Sure, this may be Apple’s entry-level iPad, but it still packs notable features like the new A13 Bionic chip that’s said to be 20% faster than its predecessor. That extra power enters in some additional features like True Tone support for the 10.2-inch screen alongside Center Stage in the new 12MP ultrawide camera that automatically adjusts the crop and zoom of your selfie camera depending on who and where they are in the shot. While we’re expecting to see the new iPad Air 5 debut this afternoon, these 10.2-inch iPad discounts provide notable price cuts for those who don’t need as capable of a machine. Get a closer look in our launch coverage.
Anker rolls out Apple event sale with iPhone gear from $13
It’s Apple event day, and Anker is now celebrating by rolling out a new selection of discounts via its official Amazon storefront. Our top pick is the recent Anker 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Station at $50. Typically fetching $60, this is only the second discount to date and a match of the all-time low.
With room to refuel your entire Apple everyday carry, this charging station is headlined by a 7.5W MagSafe mount. Resting underneath is a 5W Qi pad for topping off AirPods and the like, with a slot to place in an Apple Watch charging puck off to the side rounding out the package.

You can also save on the 11-inch model for $160.
Delivering a more affordable alternative to Apple’s in-house solutions, the Logitech Combo Touch keyboard packs a folio design that protects both the front and back of your device. Relying on Apple’s Smart Connector for power and pairing, there is a backlit detachable keyboard supplemented by a trackpad. You can get a better idea of what to expect in our hands-on review of the 10.2-inch model.
Philips Hue HomeKit Color Lightstrip Plus set hits $82
Amazon is now offering the Philips Hue Lightstrip Starter Kit for $82. Normally fetching $129, today’s offer is $5 below our previous mention in order to deliver the best price of 2022 at 36% off.
Delivering everything you need to get started in the Philips Hue ecosystem, this bundle delivers the latest iteration of Lightstrip Plus alongside the bridge that enables HomeKit, Alexa, and Assistant control. With both Bluetooth and Zigbee control, this is a great way to bring 6-feet of multicolor illumination to your space, be it for some ambient lighting on a shelf or to make for a more immersive home theater experience.
Outfit your Apple Watch Series 7 with a leather band for just $7
Marge Plus via Amazon is now offering its Leather Apple Watch Band for $7. Normally fetching $11, it just dropped to $9 with today’s offer coming within cents of our previous mention at 32% off.
Compatible with 42, 44, and 45mm Apple Watch models, this leather band is a great way to class up your look from the silicone style that was likely bundled with your wearable out of the box. It features a genuine leather build alongside stainless steel lugs for a sophisticated look.
