In the middle of the week, Verizon opened up one of the year's first big sales across nearly every AirPods model.

iPad

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!
