Hyper

Hyper is discounting a wide variety of USB-C hubs and accessories that pair perfectly with the newest MacBook Pro models. Sales on these devices are hitting at $20 off across the board, although the HyperDrive 4-in-1 USB-C Hub is seeing only a $10 discount.

Hyper's hubs plug into one (or both) of the MacBook Pro's USB-C ports, providing extra ports like HDMI, microSD, USB-A, and more. There are also options that connect to the iPad Pro and provide similar port additions, and even include a 3.5mm headphone jack.


MagSafe Charger

Apple launched the MagSafe Charger last year alongside the new iPhone 12 line of smartphones. The device is a wireless charger that aligns perfectly with the latest iPhones, but it'll still work with iPhone 8 and later devices.

Today on Amazon we're seeing one of the first discounts on the accessory, priced at $34.00, down from $39.00.

Although this is just a $5 discount, Apple's first party accessories typically don't see steep markdowns this early in their lifespan.

Apple Watch Series 6

Next, you can get the (Product)RED 40mm GPS Apple Watch Series 6 for $339.00, down from $399.00. The Space Gray and Blue color options are slightly higher at $349.00, but all are in stock and ready to ship today.

This is $10 off from the lowest price that we've ever tracked for this model of the Apple Watch Series 6, so it's a solid deal if you're shopping for the wearable in February. In regards to 44mm GPS models, you'll find about $49 off the Blue and (Product)RED color options.

Magic Keyboard

Lastly, Amazon is still discounting a few of Apple's keyboards for the iPad Pro and iPad Air, with the best sale centering on the Magic Keyboard for 11-inch iPad Pro at $199.00, down from $299.00. This is still the lowest price we've ever tracked for this Magic Keyboard, which can also be used with the fourth generation iPad Air.

You can also get the Magic Keyboard for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, but this discount isn't quite as steep. It's priced at $329.70, down from $349.00. Both versions of the Magic Keyboard provide a full keyboard with a trackpad, backlit keys, and a new floating cantilever design that lets you adjust the iPad Pro to find the best viewing angle.

When will USB Type A connectors finally be out of sight in our rear view mirrors? They might as well provide RS-232 or SCSI ports. USB-A won’t be a historical fact until it’s no longer marketed.

So, just fill the junk yard with billions of USB-A flash drives that are still perfectly useful for their intended purpose. Yukikey and the like, as well. Mice, keyboards. What's the harm in keeping a USB-A port around?
 
Before buying any hub from HYPER, I strongly suggest you read the comments on Kickstarter regarding their USB-C hubs. They are a disaster. And their customer service horrendous.

The happy medium is to encourage peripherals and computers to no longer use USB-A connections, and instead offer USB-C connections. Adapters could be used until EOL of legacy USB peripherals. As long as we continue to produce new USB-A peripherals, the junkyard will continue to fill up.
 
Does the discount on the Magic Keyboard suggest that they will bringing a new one out with the new iPad Pro this Spring/Summer? I know it’s a steep price to pay, but it is an amazing accessory, especially on the 12.9. BackLit keys, USB-C port, trackpad, and case for $350 or now $330 is a fair price to pay for those features.
 
I picked up a magic keyboard to test on my ipad air b/c of the discounted price. I have to say it's 100 times better than i expected. I couldn't imagine going back to the onscreen keyboard.

It's a great keyboard.... but the design leaves a bit to be desired with the angles you can move things. I hope a version 2 gives it more flexibility like the logitech one has.... and that price is just unforgiveable. Even $199 was hard for me to swallow. Bought mine open box for $205 at Best Buy and never really could justify that price tag, especially with it's lack of movement. But the keyboard is great and the track pad is awesome
