Over at Amazon this week we saw the return of record low prices across the 2022 iPad lineup. You can get both Wi-Fi and cellular models for $50 off, starting at $399.00 for the 64GB Wi-Fi device. There is a sale on every configuration, although not on every color in some cases.

AirTag

  • What's the deal? Take up to $9 off AirTag
  • Where can I get it? Amazon
  • Where can I find the original deal? Right here


We also tracked one of the year's first discounts on the AirTag this week, with the 4-Pack down to $89.99, from $99.00. The individual AirTag is also now discounted to $27.00, down from $29.00. Neither of these are all-time low prices, but given that deals on the AirTag have been rare for months, they're decent second-best options for shoppers this week.

I don’t even understand what’s iMac like about it… it’s a rectangle, has a stand, and… what else, exactly?
You can't spell iMac without the "M" and "A" from Samsung, so there's that.

Really wish they wouldn't say the monitor is "iMac-like," as it's 4K and not 5K. Not really a substitute!
