Apple’s official silicone cases are some of the best on the market, and now you can score the best prices yet on its new iPhone 15 and 15 Plus styles from $24. The savings are joined by the new Beats Studio Buds+ with the slick transparent design in tow at $130. And if you need a spare MagSafe 3 cable for your MacBook, Apple’s official charger is down to $35. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

iPhone 15 and 15 Plus silicone cases from $24

Amazon is starting off November by rolling out new all-time lows on the new official Apple iPhone 15 and 15 Plus Silicone cases. These MagSafe accessories all normally sell for $49 but are now dropping to the best prices we’ve seen across several colors for each smartphone. Pricing now starts at $24, which can be found on each of the styles’ product pages. These are all some of the first chances to save – period – while marking new all-time lows at upward of 50% off.

Apple’s official silicone cases are easily the company’s best first-party covers these days, delivering the same premium look and feel we’ve come to expect over the years. There are several styles available for both iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, each of which has a soft-touch and grippy finish. You’ll also find built-in magnets for taking full advantage of MagSafe charging to go alongside a raised lip around the front and camera module for keeping your device scratch-free.

Save on the neat new transparent Beats Studio Buds+

Amazon is now offering an all-time low on the new Beats Studio Buds+. These earbuds arrive in one of the three colors – including the slick new transparent model – and they have all now dropped to $129.95 shipped. You’d more regularly pay $180, but today’s offer nets you $50 in savings. This matches the all-time low for only the third time too. We break down just what’s new this time around – dive into the full scoop in our hands-on review.

Beats Studio Buds+ just launched back in May and arrived as the latest listening experience from Beats. Notable features include improved ANC and transparency modes, which are complemented by upgraded microphones and the refreshed form factor. Not all too much has changed with the charging case, which still sports a USB-C port, a Qi coil, and a supplemental 27 hours of listening. But if there had to be just one reason to consider the latest from Beats over other earbuds out there, it would have to be the fun and unique transparent design.

New all-time low discounts Apple’s official MagSafe 3 MacBook cable

Apple just launched new MacBooks with companion MagSafe chargers that now come in a new Space Black color. But if you’d rather just save some cash and need a spare, Amazon now offers the official USB-C MagSafe 3 Cable for $35. This is down from its usual $49 price tag while marking a new all-time low at 30% off. It’s $2 under our previous mention and marks a new all-time low too. You can get a better idea of what to expect in our 14-inch MacBook Pro review.

Apple just recently refreshed its MagSafe 3 connector for the M1 Pro MacBooks, finally bringing back the magnetic charging option after being gone for years. The cable was then introduced for the new M2 MacBook Air, and now, the very same charging cord is on sale, just like the one that came in the box. It sports a woven design and metal connector that can lock onto the side of your Mac. Today’s discount makes for a great chance to score a spare at a discount or outfit your everyday carry with one to always have on hand.

Philips Hue’s Festavia smart Christmas lights see refurb discount to $179

Woot is launching its latest refurbished Philips Hue sale to start the month, discounting a collection of smart lights and accessories in the process. Shipping is free for Prime members, with a $6 delivery fee applying otherwise. An easy favorite has the new Festavia smart Christmas lights on sale for one of the first times at $178.99 for the 250-bulb string lights. This is $41 off the price of the new condition pair and marking a new all-time low as the perfect offer to land ahead of the holidays. Get the full scoop in our launch coverage.

Back in September, Philips Hue relaunched its smart Christmas lights after what can only be described as a soft launch in the year prior. The first thing I did was go order a pair, and I have been loving the new additions to my smart lighting setup for the past few weeks. But as for how that experience actually stacks up, the new Philips Hue Festavia lights arrive with the usual Bluetooth or Zigbee connectivity. There’s also a redesigned build that ensures these are ready to handle decking both the indoor and outdoor halls, too.

Anker’s GaNPrime PowerCore 65W power bank now $30

Anker’s official Amazon storefront is now offering its GaNPrime Power Bank for $69.99 shipped. This is the first discount in several months from its usual $100 price tag, and matching the best markdown of the year from back in March. Our Tested with 9to5Toys review offers a closer look at what to expect, where we noted how it was the Swiss Army knife of chargers. This model wasn’t updated when Anker launched its new Prime series earlier in the fall, so today’s offer is still on the latest release for this form-factor. 

Anker’s GaNPrime PowerCore 65W arrives as a hybrid charger for your Apple set that combines a USB-C GaN wall adapter with a portable battery. Its 65W output can be spread over its dual USB-C ports, as well as a USB-A slot and leverages the built-in 10,000mAh internal battery to refuel away from home. I adore the built-in AC plug that also makes recharging a breeze.
