Alongside all of the World Backup Day discounts that are now live today, all of the best Apple deals kick off with the latest 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro. That’s alongside a chance to save on previous-generation iPad Pros from $400. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Apple’s latest 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro now $250 off
Amazon is now offering Apple’s 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16GB/1TB for $2,249. Normally fetching $2,499, today’s offer amounts to $250 in savings alongside a match of the Amazon all-time low. This is the first notable Amazon discount we’ve seen on the higher-end configuration, as well.
Apple’s all-new M1 Pro MacBook Pro arrives with an almost entirely redesigned package that refreshes everything from the screen to the internals. Its 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR 120Hz Display pairs with all of the power from the new M1 Pro chip, alongside the return of MagSafe charging. Not to mention there’s also up to 17-hours of battery life and improved I/O like three Thunderbolt ports, HDMI, and an SD card slot. There’s also an upgraded 16-core GPU. See why it was our Apple product of the year.
Best World Backup Day storage discounts now live
Happy World Backup Day folks! Amazon has a notable selection of storage deals featuring microSD cards, portable and internal SSDs, and more from WD, SanDisk, Samsung, and others starting at $14. We have listed some of our top picks down below but one standout is the SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable Solid-State Drive at $200. This carried a $290 to $320 price tag for most of last year before dropping down to the $250 range during the holidays.
Today’s offer matches the 2022 low and is the lowest price we can find on one of the best 2TB portable SSDs out there. Data transfers at up to 1,050MB/s with support for USB 3.2 Gen 2 over USB-C and a protective rubber frame make this a solid choice for any EDC. It also has a two-meter drop rating, IP55 water and dust resistance, and a handy carabiner loop in the top corner. Head below for plenty of notable storage deals on hard drives, microSD cards, SSDs, and more. Plus, you can save on a collection of NAS, too.
Apple’s prev-gen. iPad Pros starting at $400 (Refurb)
Woot is now offering the deepest discounts yet on Apple’s 2018 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Right now models start at $480 for the 64GB Wi-Fi configuration. That’s down from the original $999 price tag and well below previous offers. Alongside higher capacity models and even Wi-Fi + Cellular offerings, Woot also carries the savings over to the 11-inch iPad Pro starting at $400, down from $799. You’ll find a 30-day warranty in either case.
Despite not being one of the latest iPad Pros, these 2018 models still arrive with many of the features you’ll have come to expect like Liquid Retina edge-to-edge displays with ProMotion, USB-C connectivity, Face ID, and support for iPadOS 15. Each come powered by Apple’s A12X Bionic chip and supplemented by 64GB or more of storage, four speakers, and a 12MP camera on the back. Like other 9to5 writers, I still regularly use one of these 2018 iPad Pro and can vouch for how solid of it an experience it still provides even without the new M1 chip. Dive into our hands-on review for a closer look.
Save $80 on stainless steel Apple Watch Series 7 at Amazon lows
Amazon now offers the Apple Watch Series 7 Stainless Steel GPS + Cellular 41mm at $619. Normally fetching $699, this is a grand total of $80 in savings while matching the all-time low at $30 under our previous mention. You can also score similar savings on other stainless steel styles, too.
Centered around the new refreshed casing that comes in a slick steel design, the new Apple Watch Series 7 backs that with a display that’s 20% larger and brighter than before. Paired with an equally elegant band, these higher-end styles pack all of the same exercise, heart rate, ECG, and blood oxygen tracking, not to mention the new fast charging mode that turns 8 minutes of juice into enough charge for overnight wear. Here’s how it compares to the previous generation models
Save $50 on Bose QuietComfort 45 ANC Headphones
Through the end of today, Adorama is now offering the all-new Bose QuietComfort 45 ANC Headphones for $279 in two styles. Down from the usual $329 price tag you’d normally pay, today’s offer is marking only the third discount to date at $50 off while matching the all-time low set before Black Friday.
These over-ear headphones from Bose arrive as the brand’s latest flagship offering yet with a series of notable specs to match. First up, there’s enhanced active noise cancellation which pairs with an Apple-style transparency mode as well as Active EQ for balanced listening. You can also rely on 24 hours of playback before needing to recharge the QuietComfort 45 ANC, and plugging in a USB-C cable for just 15 minutes will net you 3 hours of usage in a pinch.
