Apple Watch Ultra 2 with Blood Oxygen tracking hits $575
eBay is now offering Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $575. Instead of paying $799 for a new condition model, you can drop this refurbished offering with 1-year warranty down to an all-time low. There’s tons of different styles to choose from – all of which clock in at $224 off. This is easily the best value we’ve seen, and today’s deal also comes complete with Blood Oxygen tracking features. We break down the new addition to Apple’s fitness stable in our launch coverage, and explore what’s different this time around below the fold.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 arrives as the second-generation rugged wearable from Apple with a few upgrades over its predecessor. Everything rests within the same elevated case as before, with a more distinct side module that encompasses the usual Digital Crown, as well as a secondary, customizable action button to round out the form-factor adjustments. There is the new S9 chip at the center of the experience, which also happens to power the new pinch gesture recognition tech for one-handed interactions.
Apple’s latest M2 Mac mini starts from $499
B&H now offers Apple’s latest M2 Mac mini for $699 with 512GB of storage. This slightly elevated configuration normally sells for $799 and is now $100 off. It’s the first discount in 2 months and comes within $9 of the all-time low. Today’s offer is the second-best price we’ve seen to date and even though there’s no M3 version yet, the M2 Mac mini is still one of the best values in the current macOS stable. The entry-level model at $499 doubles down on that even more at $100 off. We detail what to expect from the experience in a hands-on review.
Apple’s M2 Mac mini refreshes a beloved form-factor to feature its now previous-generation in-house silicon. So while this isn’t powered by the new M3 chip, it does mark the latest release from Apple in the lineup. There’s that same compact build that has made previous versions so popular amongst first-time Mac owners, as well as streamlined workstation users and homelabbers alike. The improved performance of the M2 chip also pairs with dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, a pair of USB-A slots, an HDMI output, and Gigabit Ethernet. You’ll also find Wi-Fi 6E, and at least an 8-core CPU backed by a 10-core GPU and at least 256GB of storage.
Apple’s 24-inch M1 iMac has never sold for less at $800
Apple’s 24-inch M1 iMac has dropped another $50. Best Buy now has it down to $800 after we saw it drop from $1,299 down to $850 earlier in the month. Now, you can score a new all-time low at $499 off. This discounts the 256GB model with 8GB of memory and 7-core CPU lower than ever before. It comes joined by a price cut over at B&H that has the 8-core GPU model with 512GB of storage down at $1,499 from its usual $1,899 price tag. This is $400 off and a new all-time low on this elevated configuration. It’s rare to find a model on sale with more than 8GB of memory, and now today’s sale means you can also lock-in the best-ever discount. It features extra memory for multitasking, improved graphics, and Gigabit Ethernet, which is built into the power brick.
This might not be the latest version, but that just means Apple’s 24-inch iMac is an even better value. It packs an integrated M1 processor with its sleek design including a 4.5K Retina display with True Tone, as well as a 1080p FaceTime camera. Other notable features include 256GB or more of onboard storage, at least 8GB of RAM, and six speakers capable of supporting Spatial Audio. Get a closer look in our launch coverage.
