Amazon just slashed $100 off of this 13-inch Apple iPad Pro

By Jennifer Allen December 15, 2020

If you’re looking for the most powerful Apple iPad Pro out there at a great price, we’ve got a great deal for you. Right now, Amazon has slashed $100 off the new Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch, bringing it down to $999. It’s a great price cut on an already high-end device. Even better, it’s expected to arrive before Christmas so it could be an ideal gift for you or a loved one. It’s one of the better iPad deals out there with many more to check out, too.

In our iPad Pro review, we examined the slightly smaller 11-inch model but the consensus was still the same — this is the best version of the best tablet you can buy right now. That’s thanks to its amazing screen, comfortable design, great performance, and convenient operating system in the form of iPadOS.

We broke things down a little further by checking out which was best between the Apple iPad Pro 11-inch and iPad Pro 12.9-inch, and mostly found them to be pretty similar in quality, with the Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch winning out due to its superior and bigger screen. If you’re going to go for the high-end iPad solution, it makes sense to go big and enjoy the full benefit of that slightly larger screen.

That screen we’re raving about is an edge-to-edge Liquid Retina display with ProMotion, True Tone and P3 wide color technology. It looks a delight and is backed up by an A12Z Bionic chip with Neural Engine. There’s also 256GB of storage, a 12MP wide camera, 10MP Ultra Wide camera, and a LiDAR scanner for any time you want to take photos. A 7MP TrueDepth front camera is useful for video calls, too.

The Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch has everything you could want from a high-end tablet right down to support for the Magic Keyboard, Smart Keyboard Folio, and Apple Pencil, so you can soup up what you can do with it.

Normally priced at $1,099, the Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch is currently enjoying a nearly 10% price cut, bringing it down to $999. This is an ideal time to upgrade your tablet experience, ensuring you’ve got a powerful slate with you wherever you go.

Apple AirPods Max are $100 off in Amazon’s weekend flash sale

A woman wears Apple AirPods Max.

We don't often see excellent deals on Apple products, especially its higher-end stuff like the AirPods Max. That's exactly why we're so happy to see this deal from Amazon that discounts the AirPods Max down to $450 from $549, a whopping $100 discount we rarely see.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
There's a lot to say about the Apple AirPods Max, the least of which is that they have excellent audio thanks to Apple's H1 audio chip, which each cup has. Having so many chips on there means you get some fancy features, such as spatial audio and industry-leading ANC. As for audio fidelity, it's very clear, although not as punchy as something like the Sony WH-1000XM4, which isn't to say it isn't as deep; it has excellent bass, but it doesn't have the same mid-range boost as the XM4. As for the treble range, it's similarly clear and sparkly without being too tinny sounding, which makes it easier when listening to brass instruments, so it's great if you're into jazz or classical music. One thing to note is that you might get different listening experiences depending on whether ANC is on or off, but that seems to vary significantly by person.
