Our weekend deals post is fixed on everything Apple ignored during its "Far Out" event earlier this week. You can get the Apple iPad Mini with wi-fi for $399.99 at Amazon and Best Buy, which is $100 off the regular price. If you need more storage, you can find the 128 gigabyte model with wi-fi at Amazon and Best Buy for less than its normal price of $799.99.

Changes to the iPad Mini include a larger screen that doesn't have the home button, as well as a new port for charging the device. The Mini supports Apple's True Tone technology which allows you to adjust the display based on the lighting in your environment. The latest Mini is the one to beat until the inevitable arrival of an M1 or M2 model, because it is powered by Apple's A15 BionicCPU. We recommend you to read our review.

The home button is no longer used in the new iPad Mini. It comes with a faster processor and a power button that can be used as a Touch ID sensor

You can find discounts on Apple's 13-inch, M2 equipped MacBook Pro if you're looking for a competent laptop instead of a tablets. The build with a lot of storage is currently discounted to $1,149. The current sale prices for both configurations are the best prices we have seen for either configuration.

Despite launching earlier this year, the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro doesn't change much about the appearance of Apple's premium laptop. The addition of Apple's M2 processor gives the Pro improved performance while keeping its excellent battery life. The webcams and lack of port selection are still here. We recommend you to read our review.

Do you want a TV that doesn't look bad? You can still get the 43- and 50-inch models of the Frame TV at a discounted price. The 43-inch model is currently on sale for $799.99, while the 50-inch model is on sale for $9499.99. The excellent QLED is a great choice for any room in which you would like to hang a display.

When not in use, the art-inspired TV can be used as an art showcase, as it mimics the look of framed artwork. The display on the latest model uses a low-reflection matt coating that absorbs ambient light and gives the TV a picture quality that looks like canvas.

The 4K TV features a number of modern specifications, including a 120Hz refresh rate, four HDMI ports, and support for popular streaming apps. It has built-in support for both Amazon and Google Assistant, but it lacks full-array local dimming and Dolby Vision support, two features that are common for TVs in this price range.

The new model of the TV retains the same vivid QLED display as its predecessor but uses a new anti-glare coating called "Matte Display" which gives images with qualities that resemble an actual canvas.
