Firstly, we are not only still tracking a $200 price drop on the entry-level 13-inch M4 iPad Pro but also now the 512GB model at $200 off the price you’ll pay at Apple. From there we move over to all-time low pricing on the 2024 15W Qi2 Trio Wireless Charging Pad from Satechi alongside a solid deal on the upright model as well as ecobee’s HomeKit Secure Video SmartCamera back at the Black Friday price and some ongoing Apple Watch Series 10 offers still shipping before the big day. All of that and much more awaits down below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
