Apple AirPods Pro, iPad Mini discounted ahead of Labor day

By

A few weeks before the Labor Day sales officially kick off, we are already seeing a bunch of fantastic AirPods deals and iPad deals online. Case in point: The Apple AirPods Pro and iPad Mini currently have their prices slashed on Amazon by up to $50.

AirPods Pro

 – $234, was $249

Digital Trends

Apple kick-started the true wireless earbuds craze in 2016 with its first-ever pair of AirPods and the device has only gotten better since then. The latest members of the family, the AirPods Pro, boast a bunch of enhancements that significantly set them apart from all the previous models. For starters, their design has been beefed up with the inclusion of different-sized silicone ear tips. This upgrade equals a more secure fit and better ear canal seal that further elevate sound, bass delivery, and noise cancellation.

The addition of a noise-canceling feature to these AirPods also makes for a delightful listening experience. It can shut background noise off as effectively as if a mute button has been switched on. There’s also a Transparency Mode ready for activation in case you want to let ambient noise in to stay aware of your surroundings. The earbuds’ sound quality is equally impressive: Audio is astoundingly clear and is accompanied by a punchy, tuneful bass response.

Combining power and portability, the iPad Mini is a great machine for productivity on the go. Its 7.9-inch screen may lack the edge-to-edge design of the newer iPads, but it’s nonetheless a pleasure to consume media or read on. It boasts a stunning 2,048 x 1,538 resolution along with Apple’s True Tone technology to deliver rich details, vivid colors, and natural-looking imagery.

Despite its small build, the iPad Mini packs a punch under the hood. It uses the A12 Bionic processor which guarantees buttery smooth performance whether you’re watching a movie, playing a game, or browsing the web. You can even bang out some light editing work on Adobe Photoshop or Premiere Rush. Apple further expands its functionalities by tossing in support for the first-generation Apple Pencil.

The iPad Mini truly is a beast of a tablet and is the best in its size category. Normally sold for $399, the Wi-Fi version with 64GB storage is up for grabs on Amazon for only $350.

Before the stocks that are up for sale run out, secure your own by pushing through with the purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
The Apple AirPods Max on sale are the original release with the Lightning port, not the Apple AirPods Max update with the USB-C port, but that's not likely going to be a problem for Apple fans who still have some devices using the brand's proprietary connector. You're still getting a device that appears in our roundups of the best headphones as our pick for iPhone owners and best noise-canceling headphones as our recommend choice for Apple users. It all begins with the amazing active noise cancellation of the Apple AirPods Max, their fantastic transparency mode when you want to hear what's going on around you without having to take them off, and support for spatial audio for an immersive listening experience.
