Apple’s M1-equipped iPad Air is down to its best price yet

Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference may be right around the corner, but we don’t expect to see a ton of news on the tablet front outside of the next version of iPadOS. That means now is a good time to collect Apple’s latest iPad Airwhich is currently matching its all-time low of $499.99 ($100 off) at Amazon and Best Buy on the 64GB/Wi-Fi configuration.

Apple’s mid-range tablet, in our eyes, is the best iPad for most people. The 2022 fifth-generation Air packs a high-resolution 10.9-inch display, Apple’s speedy M1 processor, all-day battery life, and the same modern design we received with the 2020 model. The featherweight slate it’s also compatible with the same keyboard and stylus accessories as the latest iPad Pro, which means you can pair it with the second-generation Apple Pencil or use it as a sort of ad hoc laptop should you really want to work. made.

Admittedly, you can’t take advantage of some of the bells and whistles found on Apple’s higher-end tablets; however, it’s still the best value in Apple’s current lineup of tablets, even with the ninth-generation model still available and the arrival of the new 10th-generation iPad in October.

Given the myriad of device categories out there (smartwatches, phones, wireless headphones, etc.), I’d like to think that versatility is at the top of everyone’s list when it comes to choosing a wireless charger for travel and domestic use. . And if you’re an iPhone user who prioritizes flexibility over price, Anker 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe is a great option to consider, one that Edge readers can buy direct from Anker for $134.96 (about $15 off) when they use promo code VERGE10.

Anker’s foldable 3-in-1 charging hub can deliver up to 15W of power to MagSafe-compatible iPhones (a first for an Anker device) and supports fast charging on newer Apple Watch models via a slide-out drawer. . The Angled Charger also comes with a 30W USB-C power adapter and features a wireless charger on the back, providing just enough space for you to charge up a pair of AirPods or another Qi-enabled device. Plus, Anker is currently adding a six-foot USB-to-Lightning cable with every purchase, just in case the discount isn’t incentive enough.

Unfortunately, streaming is only getting more expensive. As Netflix begins to crack down on password sharing in an effort to boost revenue, Paramount Plus is taking a different approach, raising its monthly subscription fees across the board. However, if you want to dig deeper into the Paramount Plus catalog without shelling out over $4.99 for the ad-supported Essential plan, you can currently sign up for a one-month free trial using promo code CHEERSATX.

The current promotion, which is limited to new subscribers and is intended to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Healthfinal episode — extends what is usually a one-week trial, giving you unrestricted access to the Essential or Premium tier of Paramount Plus. Both plans offer access to a treasure trove of movies and TV shows, including several star trek spin-offs and pretty much everything under the Taylor Sheridan umbrella (read: yellow stone), but the ad-free Premium tier takes things a bit further with access to your local CBS station, additional sports coverage, and offline downloads. Just be sure to cancel your subscription before the promotional period ends, unless you want to renew at the standard rate.
