                        Check out the best Black Friday deals on iPads right now

                        Posted on by Nadeem Sarwar

                        The iPad lineup has always been a great holiday gift idea, and with the Black Friday deals season in full swing, you can snag Apple’s tablets with some neat discounts in tow. Right now, Amazon and Best Buy are offering some cool discounts on the entire iPad lineup, which includes the vanilla iPad, the Pro model, the third-gen iPad Air, and the pint-sized iPad Mini. Let’s get straight to what’s on the table:

                        iPad 2020

                        Apple iPad 2020

                        Apple’s brand new 8th Gen iPad packs a 10.2-inch Retina display that has gained support for stylus input, with pressure sensitivity and tilt detection in tow. Apple has equipped this machine with the hexa-core A12 Bionic chip that is claimed to offer a 40% boost in processing power and 2x upgrade when it comes to the graphics chops. Not much has changed when it comes to design, but it works with Apple’s own smart keyboard as well as third-party keyboard cases.

                          iPad (2020)
                            Originally launched carrying a price tag of $329, Best Buy is offering a discount of 16% discount on the tablet, bringing the price of the base 32GB model down to just $279.99 at the moment.

                          iPad Mini 5th Gen

                          iPad Mini 5th Gen

                          The 5th Gen iPad Mini made its debut back in March last year, packing a 7.9-inch Retina display with a resolution of 2048-by-1536 pixels with wide P3 color gamut support. On the inside, the A12 Bionic runs the show, and an updated 7MP camera on the front for video calling. There is an 8-megapixel camera at the back and the familiar Touch ID button to take care of authentication.

                            iPad Mini (2019)
                              The 5th Gen iPad Mini arrived last year carrying a price tag of $399, but Amazon is currently offering the tiny tablet at a discounted price of $335, which translates to a saving of 17 percent on its regular price.

                            iPad Air 3rd Gen

                            Apple iPad Air 3rd Gen

                            2019’s iPad Air offers a 10.5-inch Retina display with wide P3 color gamut support. It relies on the A12 Bionic chip that packs a dedicated Neural Engine and also has an M12 co-processor. It packs an 8-megapixel camera at the back that is capable of 1080p video capture and a 7-megapixel front snapper that can also output videos at the same resolution. The design is familiar, and you also get support for the updated Apple Pencil and keyboard case.

                              iPad Air (2019)
                                The iPad Air hit the shelves in March 2019 with an asking price of $499, but Amazon has taken 14% of its asking price and is selling the device for $430 at the time of writing this.

                              iPad Pro 2020

                              iPad Pro 2020

                              The latest iPad Pro features is a truly remarkable device as it came equipped with a dual rear camera setup (wide + ultrawide cameras) and a LiDAR sensor for AR applications. The smaller iPad Pro features an 11-inch (2388×1668 pixels) ProMotion True Tone display, draws power from the A12Z Bionic processor, and also features an octa-core GPU. And oh, it also features a USB Type-C port and Face ID sensors for authentication.

                                iPad Pro (2020)
                                  The 11-inch iPad Pro was launched earlier this year carrying a base price of $799, but at Best Buy, you can score an almost 10% discount on it right now and get it for $729.

Now, if buying a smartphone was on your shopping list, but you don’t want to spend the kind of money a flagship demands, there is an irresistible deal on the OnePlus 7T right now. The flagship killer by OnePlus, which has been selling at $599 for a while now, has received a massive 50% price cut on B&H. 

                                As part of the Black Friday festive deals, the OnePlus 7T is down to just $299.99 for T-Mobile customers. And hey, you can choose between cool Frosted Silver and Glacier Blue color options, in case you were wondering. From my personal experience with the device, I can assure you that the OnePlus 7T was already a great device at its original asking price, but at just $300, it offers the best hardware that you can get on any smartphone under this price bracket.

                                  OnePlus 7T
                                    The OnePlus 7T offers you Qualcomm’s top-tier processor from 2019, a beautiful 90Hz display, reliable cameras and blazing fast 30W charging. Usually up grabs at $600, the phone can be yours right now for just $299.99 this festive season.

For that asking price, you get a 90Hz HDR10+ AMOLED display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 Plus running the show, a triple rear camera setup (48MP primary + 12MP telephoto and 16MP ultra-wide) and a 3,800mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging. On top of it all, you get an assurance of timely updates and a great UI experience with Oxygen OS.

                                  Apple’s new MacBook Air with M1 silicon is already $100 off this Black Friday

                                  Posted on by Nadeem Sarwar

                                  Ever since its debut earlier this month, the new MacBook Air with Apple’s own M1 silicon has received stellar reviews for the performance boost it brings to the table. Pocketnow’s own Jaime Rivera has been mighty impressed with the performance of this fanless machine, especially when it comes to demanding tasks such as exporting high-resolution videos. For all that firepower, many industry experts called it a great purchase at $999. But if you’ve been holding on for a price cut, B&H has already taken a sweet 10% off the device’s usual price, despite it being barely over a month old. 

                                  At the moment of writing this, the base configuration of the MacBook Air with 8 gigs of RAM, 256GB of onboard storage, and the M1 silicon can be yours for $899. Do keep in mind that the Apple M1 silicon version you get on this base configuration has a 7-core GPU, while the higher-end pricier variant has an 8-core GPU. But the base variant that is currently going on for $899 still offers plenty of processing power that can handle anything you throw at it with ease.

                                    MacBook Air with M1 silicon
                                      The new MacBook Air with the M1 silicon has set a new standard for performance that is way higher than what an Intel-powered Mac can offer. And with a $100 discount at B&H that brings its price down to just $899, you should definitely get this as your next machine.

                                    As for the rest of the package, you get a 13.3-inch Retina display (2560×1600 pixels, the M1 chip handling things under the hood, 8 gigs of RAM, and 256GB of onboard storage. The biggest improvement is in the battery department, with Apple claiming up to 15 hours of web browsing and 18 hours of movie playback. Apple has also upgraded the Type-C Thunderbolt port to USB 4.0 standard, of which there are two on the device. The design remains the same as the Intel-powered MacBook Air, but Apple has removed the internal fan for more silent operation.

                                    Read this Twitter thread by Pocketnow’s Jaime Rivera highlighting the insane power of the M1 MacBook Air and decide for yourself:
