These include two iPhone X cases, two Lightning cables, a 7.5-watt Qi-compatible charger, two USB wall outlets, and one surge protector.
All of Anker's products are sold on Amazon, so if you're interested in any of the accessories simply add one to your cart, proceed to the checkout screen, enter the relevant promo code into the Gift cards & promotional codes field, and then click "Apply." As usual, Amazon Prime customers can get free two-day shipping on all orders.

Apple's online store in the U.S. is suddenly offering a pack of four AirTags for just $29, which is the same price as a single AirTag.
This is likely a pricing error, and it is unclear if orders will be fulfilled. Apple has not discounted the AirTag four-pack in any other countries that we checked.
Delivery estimates are already pushing into late November to early December, suggesting...

The future of Apple Fitness+ is "under review" amid a reorganization of the service, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In the latest edition of his "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that Apple Fitness+ remains one of the company's "weakest digital offerings." The service apparently suffers from high churn and little revenue.
Nevertheless, Fitness+ has a small, loyal fanbase that...

Using six iPhone 12 models, the channel set up a system to drain the batteries from five percent and charge them to 100 percent over and over again. Three were fast charged, and three were slow charged.

Normally, when an iPhone connects to a new Wi-Fi network, it automatically shares the network credentials with the paired Apple Watch. This allows the watch to connect to the same network independently – for...
I recently bought their braided USB-C to USB-C cable for my MacBook Pro as well as 2 Micro USB to USB A cables and I can say, they are some of the best cables I've ever owned. Great quality. Quite cheap as well. The USB-C cable is better than Apple's one in my opinion.
Wooo hoo - Go Anker! I have countless products for them. Highly recommend their batteries, charging bricks, and cables. I use all of them myself. Very cool to see Macrumors do this!
If it's too much trouble to look into this, no worries, but I just noticed that the RUMORS52 discount code does not work for the 3ft Lightning Cable in Black. It works for the red cable, but not the black. Is the code designed to only work with certain colors?
Again, thank you for bringing these discounts and brand awareness to MacRumors members....it's much appreciated!
I had the same issue. I was trying to buy the white one. Thanks for posting the update! Saved me a lot of frustration.
Hey guys, sorry for the late reply. Yeah, so I should have been more specific in regards to the colors of the cables (post now updated), and I'm now realizing that's what wasn't working for some of y'all earlier.
So yeah, just to be clear: the 6ft cable promo code can only be used for Black, and the 3ft code can only be used for Red. Sometimes vendors place certain limitations on codes because of Amazon's own Lightning Deals and it can get confusing.
Dang, I'm sorry it's bugging out, it's all working for us on this end.

Thanks for the update and thanks for all of the great deals and bringing us my favorite site on the web! (MacRumors!)
Thank you MacRumors and Anker! I didn't realize Anker sold a few of these products and I just ordered some because of this promotion. Much appreciated!
