That’s joined by a midweek Anker iPhone accessory sale from $14, as well as a notable refurbished discount on iPhone 12 Pro Max $487 off.

Save $1,600 on Apple’s maxed out 14-inch M1 Max MacBook Pro
Whenever we share MacBook deals, some of the most frequent replies end up asking where all of the higher configuration models are. Well today we’ve got you covered, with a nearly maxed out M1 Max MacBook Pro dropping to its best price yet. Courtesy of B&H, you can now bring home the higher-end M1 Max model with 32-core GPU, 64GB of memory, and 2TB of SSD storage for $2,499 shipped. Down from its original $4,099 price tag, you’d pay the same price right now for the same configuration of Apple’s newer M2 Max model. Today’s offer delivers $1,600 in savings while marking the best discount we’ve seen by a long shot. It’s at least $200 under our previous mention and delivering as notable of a chance to save as we’ve seen.
Delivering the previous-generation of Apple’s most capable portable machines to date, the higher-end M1 Max series provides even more value than the new debuts. Everything starts with the same 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display as its M2 counterpart that’s backed by the higher-end chip as well as ProMotion 120Hz refresh rates and 1,600-nit peak brightness. Special about this model isn’t just being able to score last year’s machine for less, but also be able to bring home a nearly maxed out configuration with elevated 32-core GPU, 64GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage. That should ensure it’s ready to handle just about anything you can throw at it. And to help with that, you’ll also find 17-hour battery life and the triumphant return of MagSafe charging all packed into an updated frame. See why it was previously our Apple product of the year over at 9to5Mac.

Anker is now back today with its latest sale, discounting an assortment of iPhone and Android accessories, workstation upgrades, and everyday carry must-haves. Shipping is free across the board.

Today we’re finally seeing one of the first chances to save on the new release, with the brand’s official Amazon storefront offering the Anker Nano 3 GaN charger for $18. Down from $23, you’re looking at one of the first chances to save on the entire lineup of styles. That’s 20% off and matching the all-time low for only the second time.
Anker’s new GaN charger arrives as the Nano 3, which comes in one of five colorways. Launching right beside the iPhone 14 series last fall, the power adapter has some matching designs that can dish out 30W of power to Apple’s latest devices and plenty of other gadgets over the single USB-C port. It sports a folding plug design for easily stowing away in your everyday carry, and packs other features like Anker’s ActiveShield tech to defend against overheating while maxing out its charging capacity on MacBooks and more.
