Black Friday and Cyber Week are technically over and dusted off. But the season of record deals and prices continues for a variety of electronics as we wrap up the year.
Some of the best deals going on include a few iPads, MacBooks, and Apple TVs from Apple. The latest iPad and iPad Air are currently on sale at their lowest prices ever. In our review, we dubbed the iPad Air the best iPad for most people, thanks to its super-fast M1 processor and Goldilocks box price. Especially at this record high $499 price, it’s hard to beat the value of the latest iPad Air.
If you’re an iPhone user looking for a streaming box, the Apple TV is a no-brainer. It’s available in HD and 4K models to save you money on things you don’t need, has the most user-friendly paired interface and widest app support of any box. streaming, and can mirror your Apple devices. It’s also a great place to stream Apple Fitness+. The main strike against them is price, but these current discounts put them at a striking distance from much simpler, less scalable devices like Google’s Chromecast with Google TV. The latest Apple TVs don’t add anything substantial, just HDR 10+ support, if that’s important to you. Alternatively, hook up an Apple TV HD for $63 or 4K version for $80 is sure to keep most Apple users happy for a while.
Elsewhere on the web we have half of the Tile Pro tracker ($50, $100)the Sony WH-1000XM5 ANC headphones for $348 ($400), Xbox Series S for $50 off ($240), an always-running Black Friday Meta Quest bundle, and more. Check out our full list of offers below.
