M2 iPad Air, Apple Watch Alpine and Trail Loops, Plus More from Homekit.Blog

Cupertino, October 17, 2024

In addition to the ongoing pre-order deals for the brand new iPad mini 7, which lets you get one starting at $239, Amazon is now also offering its lowest price yet on the most affordable M2 iPad Air configuration, starting at $529 shipped. From there, we move on to all-time lows on Apple's 2024 Dark Green Alpine and Blue Trail Loops, a solid 20% discount on ecobee's SmartCamera with HomeKit Secure Video, Apple Pencil (USB-C) at the lowest prices yet too, a select brand of new MagSafe gear with launch discounts, and much more. Check it all out below.

STILL LIVE: Pre-order the new iPad mini 7 for $239 with an iPad mini 6 trade-in now (at least $260 off). Update: All new iPad mini (A17 Pro) configurations are now available on Amazon starting at $499, but there are trade-in offers available right now. Let's talk about how to get a deal on the new iPad mini. The new Apple iPad mini 7 has now arrived and pre-orders are available. Equipped with the A17 Pro chip, an Apple Pencil Pro-ready design, and support for Apple Intelligence, pre-orders are live and we're here to assist you in getting a deal. Early offers are starting to go live at Apple and major retailers, meaning there's a chance to save hundreds with trade-ins. Today, we're going to look at some options courtesy of Best Buy that can get you up to $260 off the $499 MSRP on the new 7th generation mini, and that's only with a previous generation iPad mini 6. All the details on how to score a deal on the new iPad mini 7 can be found here.

Apple's most affordable 11-inch M2 iPad Air drops to $529 today, Amazon low, more. The iPad mini 7 has arrived with a starting price of $499 (if you don't take advantage of these trade-in deals anyway), but Amazon has just reduced the price of the more powerful 11-inch M2 iPad Air to $528.99 shipped. Normally $599, this is $1 below the best price we tracked for the M2 iPad Air, hitting a new Amazon low. Today's deal is only available on the Space Gray model, but it's the best we've tracked on any of these at Amazon.

New 2024 official Apple Watch Dark Green Alpine and Blue Trail Loops drop to $86 lows. After seeing a short-lived deal on the new black Trail Loop yesterday, another pair of official 2024 Apple Watch bands are now falling to all-time lows on Amazon. These include the 49mm dark green Alpine Loop with natural titanium connectors and the 49mm Blue Trail Loop with a black titanium finish, both for $85.99 shipped. You're looking at a pair of brand new Apple Bands that will run you $99 if you buy them now from Apple or anywhere outside of Amazon, with almost 15% off.

ecobee's SmartCamera with HomeKit Secure Video now back for a Prime Day price of $80 (20% off). Today, Amazon is giving people a chance to launch the ecobee SmartCamera with HomeKit Secure Video support for a price of $79.99 shipped. This is a regularly $100 smart camera solution that's now seeing a solid 20% price drop to the lowest we can find. While we saw this drop to $70 during the 2023 holiday season, today's offer is comparable to both 2024 Prime Day sale events and represents the lowest price in almost a year. While some people weren't happy when the ecobee Smart Video Doorbell Camera dropped without full HomeKit Secure Video support, the SmartCamera we're offering today does. Details on how to set it up can be found here – HomeKit Secure Video “requires a HomeKit Hub iOS device running iOS 13.2 or later and a supported iCloud storage plan to store video clips.”

Journey introduces striking new 3-in-1 MagSafe charging station with wood grain and touch lighting [20% launch deal]

The NOVA 3-in-1 Fast Wireless Charging Pad makes its global debut today, offering 3-in-1 charging, but in a fresh new form factor with a beautiful woodgrain option and built-in lighting. The Made for Apple Watch official endorsement lands alongside the Qi2 15W promotion, as well as a 20% launch deal you can secure before the October 28 release date. View the details here.

Today's Accessories and Charging Deals: One of, if not, the best new MagSafe car charger holders released this year came courtesy of the folks at Satechi and its latest Qi2 model. It normally costs $60, which is what the official site is currently doing, but you can pick one up on the Amazon store for $47.99 shipped. That's 20% off the going price and within a few dollars of the lowest price we've tracked since release. My hands-on example here provides more detail on the user experience, but the short version is that this is a great car charger, it looks fantastic, delivers a simple installation process on all the vent brackets I've tried it on, and is worth considering for anyone who's had enough of those cheap plastic models.

Apple's 1TB 13-inch M4 iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cell is now $200 off at Amazon, up from $899.

The $2,099 regular configuration has now dropped to $1,899, coming with the lovely Space Black paint job to deliver the lowest price we can find and land as a match for the best we've seen since its release in May; this model is still at full price through Best Buy.

Apple's 13-inch M4 iPad Pro Magic Keyboard now for $300 Amazon's lowest price ever, open box from $206. Update: The 1-meter model is now priced at $29 and the 2-meter variant is now down to $39 – that is 26% and 20% in savings, respectively, and the lowest prices we've tracked so far.
