A new week is underway, and all of today’s best deals are following suit with the ongoing launch day iPad Air 5 discount. That’s alongside a fitting Apple Pencil 2 price cut to $104 and the refreshed AirPods Pro with MagSafe case at $74 off. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Apple’s new iPad Air 5 arrives in the same 10.9-inch form-factor as we saw last time around, with some notable internal improvements to justify the refresh. Now powered by Apple Silicon for the first time, there’s an M1 chip with Neural Engine at the center of the experience. Its 12MP Ultra Wide front camera comes backed by Center Stage support, and the 10.9-inch display rocks True Tone, P3 wide color support, and an antireflective coating. Staples from last time like Touch ID in the power button and Apple Pencil integration are onboard, as well. Learn more about iPad Air 5 over in our coverage.
