A new iPad Air means the iPad Pro is no longer the only Apple tablet with an M1 chip and that the price of the 2020 Air model has taken a dip. So if you want to save some cash, don't want to pay full price for a new iPad, and are perfectly happy with an A14 chip, then we recommend nabbing the 2020 model at its lowest price ever while this deal lasts.

Why we like it

On April 4, we saw the Series 7 hit its lowest price ever at $329 thanks to its status as an Amazon daily deal. We thought the price would be back up by today, and reader, we've never been happier to be wrong. You can still take advantage of this record-low price and grab Apple's latest smartwatch with its bigger watch face, improved charge time, increased durability, and added support for biking. And it's still available in multiple colors.

Why we like it

Check out Mashable's official review of AirPods (second generation).

Even non-Apple fans probably know these aren't the newest earbuds on the scene. Despite their 2019 debut, they still have great battery life, nice audio quality, and best of all, won't cost you an arm and a leg. This kind of price dip doesn't come often, and we've only seen these buds hit a slightly lower price at $89 over Black Friday. In other words, if you want great earbuds that are a great value, this deal is worth acting on.
