A new iPad mini deal knocks a sweet $100 off the cost of the 7th-generation tablet. That’s up to 20% off, even though it’s only been on the market a few months. And the sale includes a range of colors and storage capacities.

Many people prefer this smallest of Apple tablets. It’s lighter and more portable than other models, but still offers the full iPad experience.

While the AirTag is a handy tool to keep track of things like your car keys or luggage, there are things that Apple’s tracking tag isn’t designed to keep tabs on, such as a wallet or your office card key. That’s precisely why the KeySmart SmartCard wallet tracker makes a terrific addition to your tech arsenal.

Like the AirTag, the SmartCard works seamlessly with Apple’s Find My app. Unlike the bulkier AirTag, the SmartCard’s discreet form factor ensures it can be tucked away easily. The tracker’s ultra-slim, credit-card-like design makes it incredibly easy to fit into tight wallet slots, small compartments or the narrowest of pockets. And for a limited time, you can get a KeySmart SmartCard for just $34.99.

While Apple’s AirTag is an incredible invention, helping you locate misplaced keys or luggage in seconds, the tracking tag’s circular design leaves an awkward lump if you cram one in your wallet. Luckily, the MagTag — a credit card-size wallet tracker that will slide right in — also works with Apple’s Find My network.

Yes, the MagTag functions much like an AirTag, giving you an easy way to find a lost wallet. And yet its sleek design won’t leave an unwanted bulge. It’s cheaper than an AirTag, too, and it’s even more affordable with an exclusive discount from Cult of Mac Deals.

For a limited time, you can get a MagTag for just $19.99 (regularly $59.99, or 66% off).

As a Cult of Mac review writer and a proud owner of Apple’s top-notch AirPods Pro 2 earbuds, I often compare other wireless noise-canceling earbuds to them.

Ready for sublime headphone sound? Get my top Prime Day Sennheiser deal. [Still going!]

Prime Day Sennheiser
$305 off is a great deal on these phenomenal wired headphones.

I’ve long been a fan of great sound. But I hesitate to call myself an “audiophile” simply because I’m not a wealthy man. And yet even I can dabble in solid audio because so many affordable products continue to up the ante — including my favorite personal headphones. Behold the Sennheiser HD660S2 open-back cans. An audiophile of means might scoff at spending only several hundred bucks, but the joke’s on them. Thanks to Amazon, this Prime Day Sennheiser deal gets you these great wired, open-back cans for a mere $375 (as of Wednesday evening; the fluctuating price went up about $14 as of Thursday morning).

That’s not nothing, obviously. But it’s a lot more affordable than the $1,000 or more that many audiophile cans command.
