Apple discounts USB-C accessories, including iPhone Duo cases and Apple Pencil

Apple accessories are on sale this week, with deals ranging from a USB‑C Apple Pencil for $61 to leather iPhone Duo cases starting at $14, according to 9to5Mac. The promotion also includes discounts on AirPods Pro 3, Apple TV 4K, and a new Qi2‑compatible MagSafe power bank for iPhone Duo users. Prices are listed on retailer sites and are available while stock lasts.

The timing aligns with Apple’s recent shift to USB‑C across its product line, a change driven by new European Union regulations that require a common charging standard by the end of 2024. The iPhone 15 series, launched in September, introduced a USB‑C port for the first time, prompting a wave of new accessories. At the same time, Apple’s MagSafe ecosystem is expanding with higher‑capacity power banks that support the faster Qi2 wireless standard, giving consumers more options for on‑the‑go charging.

The USB‑C Pencil, normally $99, is now $61, a 38 % discount that makes the stylus more accessible to students and creators. Leather Duo cases, which protect both the iPhone 15 Pro and its MagSafe charger, start at $14, a steep cut from the usual $49 price. AirPods Pro 3 are listed at $199, down $30 from the standard retail price, and Apple TV 4K 64 GB units are offered for $149, $20 less than usual. The highlighted power bank, the first to support Qi2, sells for $79, offering 5,000 mAh capacity and a 15 W wireless output. Retailers note limited quantities and advise shoppers to act quickly.

The deals are expected to run through the end of the month, after which prices may rise as the initial surge of USB‑C accessories settles. Consumers who missed the launch of the iPhone 15 series may see these discounts as an incentive to upgrade their peripherals. Analysts suggest that strong discounting could accelerate adoption of the new charging standard and boost sales of Apple’s accessory ecosystem. Retailers are likely to introduce similar promotions in the weeks ahead, especially as competitors roll out their own USB‑C and MagSafe‑compatible products.
