Apple AirPods Pro, iPad Mini discounted ahead of Labor day

By

A few weeks before the Labor Day sales officially kick off, we are already seeing a bunch of fantastic AirPods deals and iPad deals online. Case in point: The Apple AirPods Pro and iPad Mini currently have their prices slashed on Amazon by up to $50.

AirPods Pro

 – $234, was $249

Digital Trends

Apple kick-started the true wireless earbuds craze in 2016 with its first-ever pair of AirPods and the device has only gotten better since then. The latest members of the family, the AirPods Pro, boast a bunch of enhancements that significantly set them apart from all the previous models. For starters, their design has been beefed up with the inclusion of different-sized silicone ear tips. This upgrade equals a more secure fit and better ear canal seal that further elevate sound, bass delivery, and noise cancellation.

The addition of a noise-canceling feature to these AirPods also makes for a delightful listening experience. It can shut background noise off as effectively as if a mute button has been switched on. There’s also a Transparency Mode ready for activation in case you want to let ambient noise in to stay aware of your surroundings. The earbuds’ sound quality is equally impressive: Audio is astoundingly clear and is accompanied by a punchy, tuneful bass response.

Combining power and portability, the iPad Mini is a great machine for productivity on the go. Its 7.9-inch screen may lack the edge-to-edge design of the newer iPads, but it’s nonetheless a pleasure to consume media or read on. It boasts a stunning 2,048 x 1,538 resolution along with Apple’s True Tone technology to deliver rich details, vivid colors, and natural-looking imagery.

Despite its small build, the iPad Mini packs a punch under the hood. It uses the A12 Bionic processor which guarantees buttery smooth performance whether you’re watching a movie, playing a game, or browsing the web. You can even bang out some light editing work on Adobe Photoshop or Premiere Rush. Apple further expands its functionalities by tossing in support for the first-generation Apple Pencil.

The iPad Mini truly is a beast of a tablet and is the best in its size category. Normally sold for $399, the Wi-Fi version with 64GB storage is up for grabs on Amazon for only $350.

Don’t miss this chance to get the Apple AirPods 3 for $99
Apple AirPods 3 in their case..

Apple fans who are on the hunt for true wireless earbuds deals probably have their sights set on AirPods. If you don't mind getting an older model, you can currently buy the Apple AirPods 3 for a very affordable $99 from Walmart, following a $70 discount on their sticker price of $169. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this offer, but with more than 1,000 units sold over the past 24 hours, we don't think the limited stocks for these wireless earbuds will last long. Proceed with your purchase now if you don't want to miss this bargain.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods 3
While the Apple AirPods 4 was released last year, alongside the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC, we still highly recommend the Apple AirPods 3, especially at this discounted price. The wireless earbuds are more than three years old, but their sound quality remains impressive, and they also support personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive experience when listening to compatible content. The Apple AirPods 3 also come with the line's trademark ease of pairing with an iPhone -- just place them near your device, open their charging case, and tap the onscreen instructions to pair them.

For great iPad deals, Amazon is generally an excellent place to head. That’s certainly the case today, as it has reduced the price of the latest Apple iPad mini to its lowest ever level. The tablet was only released a matter of months ago and usually costs $649. Right now though, it’s down to $549 for a limited time and it has never gone that low before. This is easily one of the tablet deals you should pay attention to as it’s a great device at an equally great price. If you still need to know more, read on while we tell you all about it. It’s the iPad I’m tempted to upgrade to.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad mini
The form factor of the Apple iPad mini is one of its main selling points in a world where many of the best tablets are increasingly large and potentially cumbersome. With this Apple iPad mini, you get a sleek and fairly lightweight build with its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display looking gorgeous. Much of that is thanks to its use of technologies like P3 wide color, True Tone, and ultralow reflectivity, so it looks great. It’s perfect for watching movies, playing games, or whatever else you have planned.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad mini
While this is the older Apple iPad mini, you get what we called in our review, a “little powerhouse.” It’s “big enough to perform most tasks” while still being “compact enough to travel easily.” It also offers “powerful performance” thanks to its A15 CPU being pretty potent where it counts. For many, this will be the best iPad for their needs because it ably combines portability with strong performance.
