Samsung rang in the new spring season with its "Discover Samsung" event this week, which will continue through March 26.

In the middle of the week, Verizon opened up one of the year's first big sales across nearly every AirPods model. You can get the AirPods Pro 2 for $199.99 ($50 off), the AirPods 3 with Lightning Charging Case for $149.99 and AirPods 3 with MagSafe Charging Case for $159.00 (both $20 off), and the AirPods 2 for $89.99 ($39 off). Across the board, these are the best prices of 2023 so far on each model.

iPad

  • What's the deal? Take $50 off 2022 iPad
  • Where can I get it? Amazon
  • Where can I find the original deal? Right here




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!
