A spring update may be just around the corner, but in the meantime, you can save on Apple’s latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro from $1,029. It comes with an opportunity to save. $265 on a stainless steel Apple Watch Series 9 and the first discount on Anker’s new 15W, 10,000 mAh MagGo Qi2 Power Bank at $67. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Exceptional deals are coming to the latest 12.9-inch iPad Pros
While everyone waits to see what the new spring update brings to the iPad Pro line, B&H is offering some of the first discounts in months on the latest 12.9-inch M2 iPad Pro. Pricing starts with the 128GB Wi-Fi model at $1,029 shipped. That’s $70 off the regular price of $1,099 and the best price of the year for those who weren’t able to take advantage of Best Buy’s member-only promotions earlier this spring. The 256 GB model is also on sale at $1,119, down from $1,199. We break down what to expect in our feature on Apple’s latest iPad Pro.
We may be expecting new iPads this spring, but being able to save $150 on Apple’s current flagship iPadOS experience at least makes it worth considering now.
The latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro offers all the high-end features we’ve come to expect from its form factor, with the M2 chip and its 8-core CPU with 10-core GPU powering the 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR. show.
There’s also ProMotion for smooth scrolling, True Tone to adjust the tint to your environment, and P3 wide color support so all your content looks as accurate as it should. Making the most of the M2 chip is a Thunderbolt port, as well as Apple Pencil 2 connectivity and support for the new scroll feature.
Of course, Apple is also scheduled to reveal the new M3 iPad Pros any day now.
Ultimately, we hope to see you in May. As we detailed at 9to5Mac, we expect to see new models debut with OLED displays, which will also mean drastically higher prices starting at $1,500.
Today’s discounts mean you can get an already capable iPadOS experience at a price much lower than the expected MSRPs of the upcoming models.
Save $265 on a stainless steel Apple Watch Series 9
Amazon now offers the best price on a premium cellular Apple Watch Series 9 with a stainless steel frame. The price of these high-end wearables now starts at $433 for a 41mm GPS + Cellular configuration. It’s down from the usual price of $699 and is the best deal we’ve seen at $265 off. This is also an additional $9 below our previous mention. Check out our coverage of what’s new this time around.
Now centered around the new S9 chip, the Apple Watch Series 9 arrives with much of the same build as previous models, just with a few improvements. It will still provide the same fitness tracking experience as before, but now includes a 3,000-nit display that can be reduced to 1 nit. There’s a new pinch detection for one-handed interactions with your wearable that launched earlier in the week, as well as a version that’s Apple’s first carbon-neutral release.
Anker’s new 15W, 10,000mAh MagGo Qi2 Power Bank gets first discount
Anker’s official Amazon store is now offering the first cash discount on the new MagGo Qi2 10,000 mAh power bank. Available only in white, today’s offer drops to $67. This is a 25% discount off the usual $90 rate and, in addition to being the first discount we’ve seen, it’s a rare discount on Anker’s latest. I put this power bank to the test in my recent Tested review with 9to5Toys.
The new Anker MagGo Qi2 10,000 mAh power bank is one of my favorite portable batteries on the market. The real headline feature is its 15W magnetic wireless charging speeds for the iPhone 15, enabled by the new Qi2 technology. That alone will make today’s 25% discount even more attractive, but then Anker adds a 10,000 mAh battery, a foldable stand, and a built-in display.
