Apple Deals: Save big on AirPods Pro and iPad Mini today

There are plenty of reasons why everyone wants to get their hands on anything Apple. Despite being a wee bit expensive, Apple devices scream luxury and high quality and are extremely user-friendly. Luckily, we were able to spot a couple of Apple deals at Amazon and Verizon that you wouldn’t dare miss. Get the Apple AirPods Pro and iPad Mini today for as low as $220.

Apple AirPods Pro

— $220, was $250

Thinking of upgrading to the AirPods Pro but not sure if they’re worth it? Don’t worry. They’re absolutely the best true wireless earbuds to get for iOS users, delivering tremendous improvement in sound quality, active noise cancellation, sweat-resistance, and a more ergonomic fit. The AirPods Pro are no longer in danger of falling off of your ears. That’s because they’re now attachable to three pairs of differently sized silicone eartips that guarantee you’ll find the snuggest yet most comfortable fit. The touch controls remain ridiculously easy to operate. A simple tap on the one of the AirPods would allow you to play/pause music or activate/deactivate noise canceling (the best we’ve encountered on a pair of true wireless earbuds). Siri also remains on board so you can summon her to skip songs on your playlist, adjust the volume, or ask her any question. Battery life remained unchanged, though, a middling 4-5 hours on a single charge. An IPX4 rating ensures you can take these to the gym without having to worry they’d get damaged. Finally, Apple’s new H1 chip has noticeably improved sound quality. These AirPods no longer sound bland, and now offer a distinct emphasis on vocals and bass that’s absolutely divine. Get the AirPods Pro at Verizon today for just $220 instead of the usual $250.

Apple iPad Mini

– $350, was $399

Don’t let the Apple iPad Mini’s size fool you into thinking it’s not a powerful device. It may be tiny but it’s actually outfitted with the same A12 Bionic processor found inside the iPhone XR and XS and iPad Air, which all cost hundreds of dollars more. That means you’re getting the same level of speed and performance. Furthermore, with iOS 12 on board you’d be able to multitask using Split Screen, although things look hilariously crammed on such a small panel. Even though it’s already in its fifth iteration, design-wise almost nothing has changed in the iPad Mini. You’re still getting massive bezels surrounding a 7.9-inch screen, although it’s worth noting that this tablet remains as sturdy and premium-looking as ever. The Retina display is gorgeous though. It’s vibrant, sharp, and bright so you’ll enjoy watching movies and working it. For the price point, we would have preferred Apple Pencil 2nd Gen support (you can only use the Apple Pencil 1st Gen on it), as well as the Apple Magic keyboard compatibility. But for just $350 (down from $400) at Amazon, this is the second cheapest iPad that you can buy and is ideal for people who are on a budget but still require a powerful tablet.

Best Mac Mini deals: Save over $100 on an Apple desktop
Apple Mac Mini 2018

One of the big problems that you might find with a traditional tower desktop is that it can be hard to fit in a smaller home or office space, especially if you consider the fact that it needs to have space around it for ventilation. Luckily, there is a solution in the form of mini-Pcs, and if you're in the Apple ecosystem, that means you'll want the Apple Mac Mini. It's a great little computer that still has a surprising amount of power under the hood, including the M1 And M2 chips, which you might be familiar with from their inclusion in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Of course, the Mac Mini can be pretty pricey, which is why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite deals on it.

Of course, if you don't find what you're looking for here, you could check out these other excellent Apple deals. Also, if you want a more traditional experience, take a look at these iMac deals and MacBook deals deals as well.

Apple announced new AirPods Max colors, so the old models get a discount
Apple AirPods Max with USB-C in Orange.

With Apple's announcement of the Apple AirPods Max with USB-C that comes in new colors, Amazon has slashed the price of the Apple AirPods Max with the Lightning port. From their original price of $549, you can currently get them for only $459 for savings of $90. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this bargain, and since it may already be gone by tomorrow, we highly recommend taking advantage of this offer within the day. They don't often appear in regular headphone deals, so don't miss this opportunity to get them at 16% off.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning port
The Apple AirPods Max with USB-C preorders have opened, and Amazon was quick to launch a discount for the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning port. In addition to the switch from Lightning to USB-C, the new Apple AirPods Max with USB-C comes in five new colors: midnight, blue, purple, orange, and starlight. There are no other upgrades such as hi-res audio support or an improved case, so if you're fine with skipping these changes, the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning port remains a viable option.
