Best Buy currently has a great deal on the Apple Watch, which has been reduced by $100 to start at $250; but if you’ve had your eyes on a new iPad or iPhone, then Best Buy is still worth a visit. Starting December 10, the retailer has cut between $100 and $125 from the price of a new iPad, and is offering a $100 discount on a newly activated iPhone 6 or 6S model.

If you’re interested in the iPad Air 2, there’s $125 off at the moment. This means the 16GB Wi-Fi models are now yours for $375, down from $500. If you add 4G connectivity to the tablet, the price has also been dropped by $125, resulting in a final cost of $505. In other words, you can grab a 4G iPad Air 2 for the same price as the Wi-Fi only version.

Opt for the 64GB model — and in our opinion, it’s absolutely worth spending the extra — and the Wi-Fi version costs $475, or $605 with 4G. Go with the top-of-the-range 128GB Wi-Fi iPad Air 2 and you’ll hand over $575 and not $700, or if money is no object, a 128GB 4G iPad Air 2 is $705, down from $830.

Perhaps the 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 is a little too large, and the smaller iPad Mini 4 appeals more? Best Buy has $100 off all those models as well, resulting in a starting price of $300 for the 16GB Wi-Fi, but we’d say spending $400 on the 64GB model is the better deal. Models with 4G connectivity start at $430, down from $530.

Finally, Best Buy wants you to buy an iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, or the slightly older iPhone 6 and 6 Plus versions. To encourage you to do so, it’s offering a $100 discount on the price of any purchased with a two-year Sprint or Verizon contract.

We’re waiting to hear if these are limited time offers, or if they’ll run for longer, but for now we’d say it’s worth taking advantage of Best Buy’s Apple price blitz.

One of the most iconic iPhone accessories is back — and it’s great
Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 15 Pro.

In the early days of the iPhone, one of the most popular accessories was the Mophie Juice Pack battery case. This was one of the first and original battery cases for the iPhone that would extend the battery life of your phone to help you get through the day. It was essential when traveling, as you’d likely go through your iPhone’s battery much faster and might not be near an outlet.

The Mophie Juice Pack became a staple for many people and spawned numerous copycats, but once Apple introduced MagSafe with the iPhone 12 line, it seemed like the need for battery cases dissipated. In fact, it has been a few years since Mophie last released a Juice Pack case for the iPhone. But the Mophie Juice Pack has finally returned, and it’s currently available for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

If everything goes according to plan, Apple is set to unveil new iPads on Tuesday, May 7. It's been a while since the last iPad release in October 2022, so expectations are incredibly high for those eagerly waiting to buy a new Apple tablet.

I typically purchase the iPad Pro and own the current 11-inch model, and I am curious about Apple's plans for this product line. However, most people are probably more interested in the upcoming iPad Air lineup in 2024. Both lineups are getting a refresh next week. In recent years, the iPad Air has been positioned between the budget-priced iPad and the top-of-the-line iPad Pro, making it a popular choice for many.

The news comes as a big surprise as everyone had been expecting a routine upgrade to Apple’s current silicon, the M3, from the existing iPad Pro's M2 chip.
