Save on Anker’s newest iPhone 15 gear from $11
Amazon is now marking down just about everything that Anker sells. Be it chargers or power banks, gear with MagSafe or USB-C tech for your new iPhone 15, just about the brand’s entire catalog is getting in on the fall Prime Day savings. A favorite has the first chance to save on the new Anker Nano 10,000mAh Power Bank landing at $34.99. Down from $50, this over $15 discount is a new all-time low and beats our previous mention by $8. It comes in a pair of styles and stands out from other models on the market thanks to an integrated 30W USB-C cable that’s perfect for iPhone 15. It also has a USB-C and USB-A slot on the side to take advantage of its 10,000mAh battery.
Twelve South launches 12% off sitewide sale
Twelve South is getting in on the savings this week by launching its own sitewide sale. This time around, you’ll be able to take 12% off just about everything it sells – with one qualifier being that only in-stock items are eligible for the savings. Shipping is free in orders over $45. A favorite from the sale is marking one of the first chances this year to save on the Twelve South Forté MagSafe Stand at $34.99. It’s down from $40 and marking the first discount in months, as well as a match of the 2023 low.
Twelve South Forté turns your existing MagSafe charging puck into a stand that is perfect for taking full advantage of StandBy mode. So much so in fact, that Apple themselves used the stand in its marketing shots for the new feature. The accessory has the kind of premium build we’ve come to expect from the company, with a slick white finish to complement the rest of your nightstand or desk setup.
Nanoleaf HomeKit lights start from $35
Amazon is now marking down a collection of Nanoleaf smart home lights and accessories. Shipping is free across the lineup as part of the Prime Big Deal Days event. A favorite has one of the first chances to save on the new Nanoleaf Shapes Black Triangle Lights at $189.99. This is down from the usual $220 price tag and marking a new Amazon low at $30 off. We did see a sale direct from Nanoleaf back in July that sold for less, but this is the second-best price to date overall. And if you can settle for the original white model, the starter kit sells for $159.99 from its $200 going rate.
Microsoft Office for Mac is just $30
