Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Discounts and iPad Air Deals This Week

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series recently launched, receiving strong pre-orders in late March before settling into new pricing. Among the trio, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is the standout model, featuring the unique Privacy Display along with its Ultra advantages. Earlier this week, we published an S26 Ultra vs. S26+ comparison article, as well as a comparison with the new Ultra and the S25 Ultra and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Interestingly, the Samsung Galaxy S26+ was almost discontinued, but Samsung re-entered the market with this model. It offers notable battery life improvements without increasing capacity, although wired charging has slowed slightly (still rated at 45W).

The Galaxy S26 features more significant upgrades, including longer battery life from its slightly larger battery and improved charging speeds, alongside the new base storage of 256GB. It's regarded as a major upgrade over the S25, making it one of the top 6.3” smartphones in the US alongside the Pixel 10 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro.

No discounts on the standard 10 Pro were available, but the larger Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is currently $300 off. We have a detailed comparison highlighting the pros and cons of the Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The older Apple iPad Air 11” model with the M3 chip is $200 off. It's worth noting that while Apple refreshed the Air series with an M4 chip earlier this year, the performance boost is minimal given the 60Hz displays and iPadOS. The 2026 model offers 4GB more RAM, which is beneficial for heavy multitaskers.

The larger iPad Air 13” also has a comparable discount at $170 off, though only the 512GB variant is available. These are Wi-Fi + Cellular models, allowing for eSIM use.

For even less than the Air 11”, you can consider the new MacBook Neo, which could be a smarter option if you require a keyboard (a Magic Keyboard for the Air is over $200). The Neo features a slower Apple A18 Pro chipset but excels with macOS capability (also able to run iPadOS apps). For productivity tasks, this device is more than sufficient.

Additionally, the Apple Watch Series 11 sees discounts that equalize prices across the 42mm and 46mm models. Below, you'll find links for both the GPS and GPS + Cellular variants.
