A few weeks ago, MacRumors shared news of exclusive sale partnerships with Twelve South and RAVPower, both of which will be ending this Friday, June 15. Each sale offers savings on useful Apple accessories, including desk organization products from Twelve South and charging devices from RAVPower. As a friendly reminder we'll briefly recap the sales below, so be sure to check all of the items discounted with our exclusive promo codes and then place your orders before the end of June 15.
Our collaboration with well-known accessory company Twelve South allows you to enter the promo code MacRumorsSetups to get 20 percent discounts on five items that are aimed at decluttering your Mac workspace.

I am impressed that MacRumors went into such detail listing all this when they don’t get any compensation. I would expect only a general reminder of the sale, but they went above and beyond. Of course MacRumors is not compensated in any way else they would have clearly stated that this was a sponsored post and not an actual article.
