Buyer’s Guide: Deals on Retina iMac, Older iPads, Apps, and Apple Accessories [Mac Blog]

With the holidays firmly in the rear view mirror, January deals are a bit sparse, but there are still a few discounts to be had on previous-generation iPads, the Retina iMac, the Retina MacBook Pro, and a handful of Apple-related accessories.

iMac

Apple’s 27-inch 3.5GHz/8GB/1TB Retina iMac is available for $2,299 from Adorama, which is $200 off the standard price from Apple.

iPads

We don’t recommend buying an iPad Air 2 or Retina iPad mini 3 this week because there are no sales going on, but Best Buy is still offering now-discontinued higher-capacity Cellular versions of the iPad Air and the iPad mini 2 at discounted prices up to $130 off the standard price.

Apps

Apple’s free app of the week is MUJO, a match three puzzler that our sister site TouchArcade gave four stars and called “pretty fun.” It’s certainly worth a download. [Direct Link]
