iPad Mini 7, Apple Watch Ultra, Qi2 Charging Stand, and More: Latest Updates from DMN

This Tuesday brings exciting deals on Apple products and accessories, ready for you below. We’re tracking a $100 discount on the latest iPad mini 7, specifically the mid-range 256GB version, alongside a notable $350 off the 36GB M4 Max MacBook Pro. On top of that, we have OG Apple Watch Ultra models available with a reduction of up to $409 off the original price, as well as an exceptional deal on Twelve South’s new 15W Qi2 HiRise 2 MagSafe Charging Stand and Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones at a compelling $100 off. There’s much more available in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Apple’s upgraded mid-range 256GB iPad mini 7 back down at $499 ($100 off), more from $399

The most budget-friendly 128GB iPad mini 7 is currently priced at $399 over at Amazon, but the mid-range 256GB models had seen a spike back to their original prices during last week’s Amazon Big Spring Sale. Good news—these deals have returned, with each of the four colors now available for just $499 shipped, down from the standard $599.

While I can’t fault anyone for picking the entry-level model and calling it a day—believe me, I understand the desire to save money on Apple storage upgrades—it’s worth noting that the mini 7 starts at 128GB. Compared to the M4 iPad Pro, which begins at 256GB, this option is starting to feel a bit outdated.

Not too long ago, even higher-tier iPads started at 64GB, and I believe that the 128GB models need to phase out like the old 8GB Mac configurations. While 128GB may suffice for some users, it feels increasingly restrictive for me, even on a more budget-friendly iPad. Now’s the time to secure a solid mid-range option from the more affordable current iPad lineup.

If you’re interested in a case or sleeve to protect your new mini, check out our top picks starting from $8.50.

Twelve South’s ultra-clean 15W Qi2 HiRise 2 MagSafe Charging Stand now at $64 Amazon all-time low

As we continue to monitor offers, there’s a new all-time low for Twelve South’s flagship 3-in-1 HiRise 3 Deluxe MagSafe charging stand. However, it’s worth noting the newly introduced 2-in-1 model as well. Last fall, Twelve South updated its range of magnetic charging stands with the Qi2 15W HiRise 2, and we’re currently seeing it at a new Amazon all-time low of $63.99 shipped.

With a regular price of $80, this represents a solid 20% savings and is the best price available right now. It’s worth mentioning that this is the first genuine deal we’ve tracked on Amazon—earlier offers didn’t come close to this discount.

While dedicated Apple Watch users might want to consider the new low we’ve identified for the 3-in-1 variant mentioned earlier, those who prefer a sleek, all-white charging stand that can charge an iPhone and AirPods (or any device that supports Qi) will want to take a look at the HiRise 2 featured here.

This model provides 15W of Qi2 power on the main MagSafe pad, which elevates from the weighted base where a second wireless charger lies. Its clean and minimalist design supports both vertical and horizontal angles with its adjustable main pad, offering a versatile yet straightforward charging experience that I found impressive after giving it a test run.

Get an OG Apple Watch Ultra today for $409 off retail (1-year warranty, refurbished)

In light of Woot’s new Apple refurbished sale, you can find “Grade A Refurbished” OG Apple Watch Ultra configurations, complete with a variety of band choices starting at $389.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). This offer provides a stunning savings of $409 off the original price of $799, bringing it to within $10 of the lowest price we’ve recorded this year, alongside several band options with today’s deal.

Our last observation noted some of these units at $380 through Best Buy, though with a limited selection of band options. Today’s Woot listings include several Ocean Band colors along with different Trail and Alpine Loops, all at the same $389.99 Prime shipped.

While this isn’t the Ultra 2, those who are hesitant to spend over $600 on the newer model may find the original Ultra to be a very familiar option, meeting most essential functionality needs. In my opinion, it offers a premium and aesthetically pleasing wearable experience, even more so than the current Series 10 models. Though personal preference aside, the Series 10 still looks great, particularly in its Jet Black option—a different charm that Ultra models have on the wrist.

Unfortunately, a black case OG Ultra isn’t available, but the black Ultra 2 models are currently starting at $742 shipped on Amazon.

Premium Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones now discounted by $100 from spring sale

Previously available at great prices during both the brand’s spring event and Amazon’s Big Spring sale, the flagship Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones are now even cheaper. Currently, several color options of these regularly priced $429 over-ear ANC headphones are available for just $329 shipped—a discount of $100, marking the lowest price we can find. They remain at full price on the Bose website.

Although these headphones saw price reductions to $349 during earlier sales, Amazon is now offering a more aggressive drop to deliver a solid $100 savings and match last year’s Black Friday price.

We’ve also seen noteworthy refurbished options for less, with some on-page coupons previously reducing prices to $299 during holiday sales last year. However, today’s price represents the best we’ve tracked this year on Amazon.

The current deal is available on the White Smoke, Black, and Lunar Blue colorways over at Amazon. We’ll monitor the situation for additional options and keep you posted on our social platforms.

In summary, this offering presents superb active noise cancellation, the ability to let a bit of sound in if needed, exceptional audio quality from Bose, spatial audio support, and up to 24 hours of wireless playback. I own a pair of these, and they are truly fantastic—there’s a reason they didn’t make it onto our Favorite Things of 2024 list for no good reason!

The $429 retail price seems steep, but the $329 deal is certainly more palatable.

Apple’s new iPad (A16) hits new lows, discounted by up to $50 off, or nearly 50% off with iPad 10 trades

While the significant trade-in deals are still active, allowing you to obtain the new 11-inch iPad (A16) at nearly 50% off, Amazon has also reduced the price of the most affordable model slightly for those without an older device to trade. The 128GB model is now starting at just $327 shipped with standard cash deals still available on upgraded storage options as well. Full details below.

Typically priced at $349, these new releases may not have extreme discounts, but they are currently presented at the lowest prices we’ve seen for what are already competitively priced tablets (for iPads, that is). The greatest discount applies to the silver 512GB model, which has a noticeable $50 off, but you’ll find discounts across all color variations and storage options at this time:

As highlighted earlier, and as we previously mentioned, there are substantial trade-in savings available for those swapping a previous-generation iPad 10 for the new 11-inch model. Indeed, you can get close to 50% off the original list price of $349, and further details on this offer can be found right here.

Though it may not support Apple Intelligence and isn’t the most powerful iPad on the market, it still provides a reasonably priced, current-generation iPad experience that’s ideal for casual browsing and making video calls without overspending.

Our launch report over at DMN thoroughly discusses the new iPad (A16).
