The M4 iPad Pro, released a few months ago, has already been discounted a surprising number of times, but this is only the second time the price has dropped this much. As of August 16, you can snag the insanely good 11-inch iPad Pro (M4, 256GB, Wi-Fi) for just $899 instead of the usual $999. As the first Apple product to feature the M4 chip, the 2024 iPad Pro “blew us away with its power efficiency, stunning display, and stunning performance.” It’s also just 0.21 inches thick and weighs less than a pound, making it the slimmest and lightest version yet. More powerful than most PCs and even most MacBooks on the market, it’s our top iPad pick for professionals.
The new Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 were announced at Made by Google 2024 and promise to outperform their predecessors in virtually every way. Of course, like most technology in 2024, they’re AI-powered. The new Tensor A1 chip enables better audio processing and active noise cancellation. Battery life has been increased and the comfort and fit of the earbuds have been adjusted. They’re also smaller, lighter, and more secure than previous versions. They won’t be officially released until September 26, but if you pre-order them now from Amazon, you’ll get a free $30 Amazon gift card to spend on other goodies.
The Anker 622 MagGo portable charger is a solid travel companion. It magnetically attaches to the back of your iPhone and extends battery life without adding much weight. And thanks to the built-in kickstand, you can comfortably hold and view your phone upright while charging. It comes in fun colors to match your iPhone 12 or newer. On sale for just $34.99, you can save 50% for a limited time.
