Delivering all of the same features as the original pair, the new AirPods Pro 2 now arrive with some improvements like enhanced audio playback to pair with the upgraded ANC and new adaptive transparency mode tech.

Apple Watch Ultra style hit second-best prices at $749
With just under a week until Christmas arrives, we’re starting to see the final round of deals go live on Apple’s latest releases that’ll arrive in time to wrap up under the tree. The latest of these enters as the brand’s most rugged wearable, the Apple Watch Ultra which drops down to $749 in several styles. Marking one of the first discounts still, you’ll be able to save on all three band designs in several colorways each. Normally fetching $799, this $50 discount is the second-best we’ve seen at within $10 of the all-time low from Thanksgiving Week.

Apple’s new 11-inch M2 iPad Pro now $99 off
Apple just released the latest generation of iPad Pro last month and now you can finally save on the latest iPadOS experience. This time around, everything with the latest M2 iPad Pro comes centered around a familiar form-factor as previous models with all of the staples like Apple Pencil 2 support, Wi-Fi 6E, Face ID, all-day battery, and integration with Magic Keyboard. Though there are some notable improvements, like the M2 chip which powers its 11-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion, True Tone, and P3 wide color support. Circling back on the Apple Pencil 2 support, there’s a new hover feature that offers another way to interact with the interface, which you can learn more about in our coverage.
LG’s just-released DualUp 16:18 Monitor sees second discount
Straight out of the 1990s, the vertical form-factor comes backed by one of LG’s popular Ergo mounts for attaching to your desk and adjusting the height or position. Alongside its dual HDMI 2 ports, there’s also a USB-C slot that makes this ideal for MacBooks, especially thanks to its 90W power delivery capabilities. If you’re somehow not yet sold on the quirky form-factor, our hands-on review walks you through its place on your macOS desktop.
