This Friday is Black Friday, but the sales are already being announced, and some of them are available now. Apple announced the same promotion that it has run for the past few years: when you buy certain products starting this Friday through Monday, you can get an Apple Store Gift card for up to $200. That can be a good deal, but make sure that you check other stores such as Apple products on Amazon because you can often find an even better deal on Apple products when you buy them elsewhere.
I've always been very impressed with iPhone and iPad accessories made by Anker. I see that you can get up to 47% off of many Anker products being sold on Amazon, and this sale has already started. For example:
- Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD with 30W Power Delivery Charger - a high-capacity external battery that can charge a phone up to seven times with support for both USB and USB-C, normally $129, now only $67.99.
- Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 Portable Charger - a similar product but a little less capacity and only USB, normally $49.99, but only $39.79 when you click "apply coupon" on Amazon.
- PowerLine II USB-C to Lightning Cable (3 ft) - you can use this cord to power an iPhone with a Lightning port from an iPad Pro with a USB-C port, or you can connect an iPhone with a Lightning port to a computer with USB-C. Normally $17.99, now $11.46.
- PowerLine+ USB-C to USB-A 2.0 Cable (2-Pack, 6 ft) - use this to charge an iPad Pro with USB-C using a normal USB port or to connect to a computer or other device with USB. Normally $12.99, now $9.99. And you get two cords.
- PowerWave Pad 10W - wireless charging for an iPhone 8, X, Xs, XR, 11, AirPods, etc. Normally $15.99, now $11.99
- PowerWave Stand 10W - same idea as the PowerWave Pad, but this one holds your iPhone at a nice angle so that you can more easily see it and use it while it is charging. Normally $15.99, now $11.55.
