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

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.

DJI Mini 3 Pro drone just got a big price cut for Prime Day 2023

There are a lot of great drone deals flying around during Prime Day, and you'll be happy to know that there's an excellent deal on the DJI Mini 3 Pro, which is easily one of the best drones you can grab right now. Amazon has discounted the DJI Mini 3 Pro to $729 from the usual $888, which is a massive $159 discount and well worth grabbing if you want an excellent drone.

Why you should buy the DJI Mini 3 Pro (DJI RC)
As legislation makes the number of flyable drones without a license smaller and smaller, the DJI Mini 3 Pro sits right at the edge, with a total weight of 249 grams. Yet, for such a tiny drone, it still packs a ton of features, such as the ability to record up to 4k at 60FPS, capture 48MP RAW photos, and even have dual-native ISO for HDR capture, which isn't something you see on a lot of smaller drones. It's also quite speedy, being able to hit 35mph, which, granted, isn't as fast as some other drones, but that does work in its favor, especially if you're crash-prone. You can pick three speeds: Cine (slow), normal, and sports (fast), although the latter has collision avoidance switched off, so be careful at that speed.
