Celebrate WWDC 2023 With Deals on Essential Apple Accessories

Score savings on MagSafe Chargers, Apple Watch bands, iPhone cases and more while supplies last.

Apple rarely offers discounts which is exactly why you should jump on sales on its various products at third-party retailers whenever they crop up. Just in time for Apple’s annual WWDC event, Woot is offering a slew of Apple accessory discounts, including iPhone cases, Apple Watch bands, AirTag loops, MagSafe wallets and power adapters, all marked down with prices starting as low as $10.

Whether you’re desperately in need of a new charger or just want to grab yourself a little treat ahead of the WWDC keynote, now’s the time to do it. The offers are available through June 30, while supplies last. However, we expect some products may sell out, so we recommend making your purchase sooner rather than later for the best selection.

If you want to change up the look and feel of your iPhone while adding a layer of protection, there are official Apple cases in this sale from just $10. The options differ per iPhone model, but there are clear cases as well as colored silicone and leather cases for the various iPhone 11, 12 and 13 iterations.

MagSafe accessories are also included in the sale with Apple’s own MagSafe Charger dropping to just $29, a 28% discount. You can save 54% on the leather MagSafe wallet, too. It snaps onto the back of compatible iPhone models and will hold two or three credit cards hassle-free. That discount brings the price to just $27.

More from WWDC 2023

Customization is a key component of Apple Watch ownership with hundreds of band options out there. Woot’s sale includes several first-party bands, including the classic Sport Band in a variety of colors, plus stainless steel, leather and Nike-branded bands. A top pick is the Link Bracelet at $200. Apple sells this premium band for as much as $449 so you can save over half on it.

Other items on sale include AirTag loops or keyrings for $13 each, wall chargers and discounted Lightning-to-USB-C cables. Be sure to shop the entire sale selection available at Woot.

All items included in this sale are backed by a one-year Apple limited warranty. Also note that some of these items will ship in bulk packaging, which means they may arrive in a plain cardboard box rather than the boxes you generally see at the Apple Store, but they’re still brand new.

This $199 Bose QuietComfort Headphones Deal Is the Best I’ve Seen

With a $150 discount, this Bose QuietComfort headphones deal is impossible to beat.

We’re big fans of personal audio gear, especially high-quality headphones. The Bose QuietComfort headphones definitely fall into that category. In fact, CNET’s expert editors rank them as some of the best noise-canceling headphones on the market today. But that doesn’t mean you have to pay the retail price — right now, both Amazon and Walmart are offering them for a best-ever price.

Strike now and you’ll snag a pair of Bose QuietComfort wireless headphones at a great discount of $150. Walmart is offering them for just $199 in select colors. But if you want more variety, Amazon is price-matching across the entire color range. Just keep in mind that I can’t promise that either of these deals will last for long.

The QuietComfort headphones include noise cancellation and have Quiet and Aware modes, so you can focus as needed or let some ambient sound in when you’re taking walks or need to know what’s happening around you.

The Best Earbuds for Samsung Users Are Just $165, but for How Long?

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 look and sound great, and this deal smashes the usual $250 asking price.

While it’s true that Apple’s latest AirPods Pro 3 tend to dominate the conversation when discussing premium Bluetooth earbuds, they aren’t the only option. In fact, if you’re ensconced in Samsung’s ecosystem, they’re obviously not going to be a great fit. The solution? Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, which you can get on sale right now for just $165 on Amazon.

It isn’t quite the cheapest price we’ve seen, but it isn’t all that far off. And while they might fall slightly during the upcoming Black Friday sales, we don’t expect them to go far beyond their lowest price of around $150.

There are plenty of options out there for non-Apple users looking for a good pair of wireless earbuds. To give you one example, CNET’s own list of the best wireless earbuds named Sony’s WF-1000XM5 as the best pair on the market. Elsewhere on that list, though, CNET also named the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro as the best option for Samsung users, and it’s not hard to see why.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

These earbuds boast a number of features tailored to folks with Samsung Galaxy or any other sort of Android smartphone, most notably support for the «high-resolution» Samsung Seamless Codec for audio quality. Those users will also have access to the Galaxy Wear app, which is the exclusive method the company uses to push through updates. While you can technically connect these buds to an iPhone, you won’t find the Wear app in Apple’s App Store, leaving the experience far from ideal.

Beyond those exclusive perks for Android users, CNET’s audio guru Dave Carnoy said in his review of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro that you can expect a «lightweight and comfortable» feel, excellent audio and call quality, and some solid noise-cancellation to boot. The primary flaw he noted was the price, which this deal definitely helps with.

Why this deal matters

The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are the top-of-the-line when it comes to Samsung earbuds, which means that most of the time you can expect a top-of-the-line price tag to match. Now, however, you can grab yourself a pair for considerably less.
