One of the newer versions of the Apple iPad, the iPad A16, is back down to the lowest price we've seen this calendar year.

If you're looking to bring a portable speaker with you on your next trip, the Beats Pill is a perfect addition to your packing list — or even for a staycation beach day. At under $100, it delivers surprisingly powerful sound for its size and features an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance.
With up to 24 hours of battery life and a lightweight design with a carrying lanyard, it's easy to pack and use throughout a long day of travel or adventure.

Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones are widely considered some of the best on the market, and for good reason. In fact, these have been my personal over-the-ear headphones of choice for years.
These headphones deliver top-tier sound and comfort, with eleven color options to choose from (including a few limited-edition choices), so you can find a pair that fits your style.
While these headphones did hit an all-time low during Black Friday, they're now at the lowest price we've seen them this calendar year.
Sale price: $39; Regular price: $59
The Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter is a handy travel accessory for anyone carrying multiple devices, and it's $20 off right now. Its dual USB-C ports allow you to charge two devices at once — such as an iPhone and Apple Watch — helping reduce the number of chargers you need to pack.
Its compact design takes up minimal space in a carry-on or personal item, making it especially useful for travelers trying to pack light. Whether you're charging devices in an airport lounge, hotel room, or cruise cabin, the adapter offers a convenient way to keep your essential tech powered throughout your trip.
Sale price: $21.59; Regular price: $23.99
If you want something slightly smaller and more discreet to charge your phone, the Anker Nano Power Bank with Built-in USB-C Connector is a great option to have in your bag. With a USB-C design and 5,000mAh of power, it can charge all the newer phones, including the latest iPhone models, without any extra cords needed.
While this power bank is compact and ideal if you need a quick boost, its charge won’t last as long as the Anker Zolo Power Bank.
Sale price: $15.29; Regular price: $17.99
With summer quickly approaching, the JISULIFE Portable Handheld Fan not only keeps you cool on a hot vacation day, but also serves as a flashlight and power bank charger. With its compact size, you can easily store it in your bag or pocket throughout the day.
Sale price: $9.99; Regular price: $19.97
The Hiearcool Waterproof Phone Pouch ensures your phone doesn't get water-logged — and stays truly water-free — so you can keep it with you at all times while traveling.
At 50% off, this two pack is an absolute must-have for your next beach vacation this summer.
Sale price: $26.99; Regular price: $29.99
For your upcoming epic summer vacation, the EPICKA TripCozy Compression Cube 4-Pack helps maximize space in your luggage, with a two-way zipper compression system. The cubes also feature a breathable mesh top, providing airflow and visibility. They also keep their shape, making them easy to pack.
While these are a slightly more expensive option than the BAGAIL Packing Cubes that are mentioned often, I find that they are easier to pack, and they have a much sturdier design.
Sale price: $144.49; Regular price: $169.99
The LEVEL8 Hard Shell Carry On is one of my personal favorites for many reasons, but especially for its incredibly low price point. This 20-inch luxurious hardshell suitcase is incredibly stylish, while also offering a waterproof shell, 360-degree spinner wheels, a TSA-approved lock, and zippered compartments. It comes with me on all my trips, and still looks almost brand new.
