Heading into the weekend, all of the best Apple deals are now live with some pre-order iPad Air 5 discounts up for grabs.

Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Apple’s all-new iPad Air 5 sees pre-order discounts
Apple’s new iPad Air 5 arrives in the same 10.9-inch form-factor 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.
M1 MacBook Air on sale for only second time this year
Lately all of the M1 Mac deals have been focusing on the more prosumer side of Apple stable, with this MacBook Air offer finally delivering a chance to save on its entry-level M1 experience. Centered around a 13-inch Retina display with Apple Silicon under the hood, there’s also a pair of Thunderbolt ports supplemented by Wi-Fi 6 as well as 256GB or more of storage and 8GB of RAM. Get a better idea of its performance in our hands-on review.
Nanoleaf Shapes Mini Triangles HomeKit set hits $80
Much like the larger Shapes lights, Nanoleaf’s Mini Triangles integrate with the brand’s whole lineup of on-wall accessories and deliver all of the same modular, multicolor lighting, just with smaller modules. In total, you’re getting five of the lighting panels in the set alongside the controller and power supply that will integrate with your Siri, Alexa, and Assistant setup.
Score an ESR iPhone SE 3 Clear Case at just $7
Delivering a slim design that won’t add too much bulk to your handset, this clear case will still keep your iPhone SE 3 scratch-free while showing off whichever colorway you choose. It has some more rugged corners for added drop protection and a raised lip around the front to keep your screen safe when placed into a table or other surface.
