Think for a moment: How many folks on your holiday gift list own an iPhone?.
We’re going to guess quite a few. Today is the day to cross off a bunch of those names, because Connecting Point is offering 50% off select iPhone accessories.
If our math is correct, that’s somewhere near half off. We suggest you get in as early as you can for the best selection.
This offer will be available all day Friday, December 12th, 2014. Limited to stock on hand.

Now you can proclaim not only “Let there be light!” but also “Let there be power!”
Because, you know, this little doohickey provides both. You get a nifty auxiliary power booster for most all your USB devices, including phones, tablets, media players and the like. So you get extra juice in the field, for those times you’re off the grid. And you also get a mega-bright LED flashlight. This is a great dual-purpose tool for your car, your travel bag, your remote mountain cabin.
What’s more, an independent panel of experts we just made up ranked this little guy a 9.5 on the Kringle/Yule Stocking Stuffability Index (on a scale of 1 to 10).
That’s pretty high. But you know what isn’t high? Its price. Normally 20 bucks, we’re slashing the price in half for this week’s DOTW.
Learn all about this week’s cool Deal here.

During yesterday morning’s special press event, Apple introduced a host of new products, along with some restructuring and repricing in their product lines (you can now get a new iPad for a little as $250, and a new Mac mini starts at just $500). Here are the highlights, along with availability information (as best we can determine—we will update this post as details emerge):
iPad Air 2: The big splash was made by the debut of the iPad Air 2, a crazy-thin (just 6mm) iteration of its flagship full-sized tablet. It’s not only thinner, but faster, too. And you can now add a third color choice to the current Space Gray and Silver: Gold. The new color choice, along with the addition of TouchID, brings the iPad Air 2 in line with Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Prices start at $499.99. Available for pre-order immediately; we expect to begin filling orders in roughly two weeks. Find out more.- iPad Air: Yep, it’s sticking around—but it’ll cost you substantially less. Prices now start at $399.99. Available almost immediately. Find out more.
- iPad mini 3: Similar specs to the original iPad mini 2, but now adds TouchID and the new Gold color choice. Available for pre-order immediately; we expect to begin filling orders in roughly two weeks. Find out more.
- iPad mini 2 and iPad mini: Now cost much less than before. The Wi-Fi 16GB iPad mini, for example, now sells for $249.99—the lowest price ever offered for a new iPad. Available almost immediately. Find out more.
If you’re interested in a specific model iPad, contact us and we’ll get you the very latest availability and pricing.
Other announcements…
iMac 27-inch with Retina 5K Display: The “5K” stands for “5000”—as in 5000+ pixels. The new flagship iMac boasts more than four times the pixels of its 27-inch brethren. That’s impressive enough, but the fact that it will sell for $2499.99—that’s just nuts. Most 4K standalone monitors sell for more than that. Basically, Apple’s throwing in a quad-core Mac with all the bells and whistles for free. Available for pre-order immediately; we expect to begin filling orders in roughly one week. Find out more.- Mac mini: The littlest Mac got a well-deserved, long-delayed makeover. The entry price point dropped a hundred bucks to $499.99—the lowest price ever for a new Mac. It now comes with two Thunderbolt 2 ports and 802.11ac Wi-Fi. Available for pre-order immediately; we expect to begin filling orders in roughly one week. Find out more.
- OS X 10.10 Yosemite: The long-awaited major update to the Mac’s operating system looks to be an impressive one, with hundreds of new features and enhancements—and is available for free download immediately.

Sleek. Fast. Beautiful glossy finish. And available in your choice of vibrant colors.
We talking sports cars? Nope. We’re talking this week’s Deal: a two-port USB car charger, in your choice of red, black, or white, at a laughably low price ($1.99).
So while these chargers would look right at home in the toniest of luxury vehicles, they’re priced somewhere south of Yugo territory. And not only does it come with two USB ports, but each of them serves a specific need. There’s a one-amp port, for smaller devices requiring more delicately administered juice. And there’s a port pumping out 2.1 amps, for larger devices and/or faster charge times.
These normally sell for five bucks, which is already pretty reasonable. But $1.99? That’s bound to drive the competition…crazy. Find out all about our latest and greatest Deal of the Week.
