It’s April 1st, which means tech companies everywhere are taking part in April Fools’ Day. As has become a ritual in the tech industry, companies are using today to introduce a variety of “products,” some more funny than others.
Read on for a full roundup of the best April Fools’ Day announcements of 2018…
CableSnap – $16.99, down from $19.99

Customers browsing Twelve South this week should also note that the company has discounted its BookBook case for iPad and iPad Pro by $20 following the launch of the sixth-generation iPad on Tuesday. The case fits the new 2018 iPad as well as the 9.7-inch iPad Pro first released in 2016, and comes in Brown ($59.99, down from $79.99) and Rutledge ($79.99, down from $99.99).
RAVPower also has a sale ending tomorrow, this one on a pair of wireless chargers at Amazon, with savings of 20 percent hitting both the HyperAir stand and HyperAir pad. We reviewed both stands recently and came away impressed with each device, although the HyperAir stand just beat out the HyperAir pad in our charging time tests.
If you’re still on the lookout for a new charging mat for an iPhone 8, 8 Plus, or X, head over to Amazon and use promo code MACRPC69 to bring the stand down to $39.99, from $49.99, and use promo code MACRPC66 to bring the pad down to $30.59, from $39.99.
Anker typically has numerous sales on Apple-related accessories happening at Amazon, and this week the company is offering 30 percent off USB-C charging and power accessories that should make nice companions with Apple’s recent line of MacBooks. There’s also a collection of portable chargers, power strips, and iPhone cases up for sale.
Below you’ll find a list of Anker’s latest deals, including the dates they expire and the promo codes needed for each sale. Note that prices exclude shipping and handling fees, but Amazon Prime members will get the usual 2-day free shipping.

MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors – All Stories
Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Twelve South makes a ton of high-quality accessories for Apple devices, and its BookBook case is no exception. These cases are designed to not only protect your iPad Pro while it’s not in use but also while it is in use.
Right now you can pick one up for the 10.5-inch iPad Pro for $ 67.99, or grab one for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro for $ 84.99. These normally sell for $ 79.99 and $ 99.99 resepctively.
Each case has a safe place to store your Apple Pencil while it’s not in use. The inside is lined with a felt material to prevent scratches and abrasions, and the case actually fully zips so that nothing will get inside of it while you have it in another bag.
The stand now ships with two interchangeable silicone inserts that can hold 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models with Thunderbolt 3 ports, older 2012-2015 era MacBook Pro models, any 12-inch MacBook, and any MacBook Air.
BookArc is a popular stand for docking a MacBook vertically in closed-display mode. The aluminum version is already compatible with the 2016 and later MacBook Pro, and now the hardwood version is too after a much longer wait.
BookArc möd is on sale for $49.99, down from $59.99, via Twelve South’s online store. The aluminum BookArc is $49.99.

The tablets are shipped and sold by Walmart, and are available for free two-day shipping. Check out the sale prices below:
There are also a few one-day-only sales going on today worth noting. First is Anker’s Gold Box Deal of the Day over at Amazon, which has savings of up to 35 percent off a pair of iPhone-compatible Qi charging mats, and a few USB Power Delivery hubs. As with all Amazon Gold Box sales, the discounts will expire around midnight tonight, so be sure to order anything you’re interested in before tonight.
Second, Twelve South is making amends of sorts today, following a snafu with the accessory maker’s checkout system yesterday that made it impossible for customers to purchase items for most of the day. As a thank you to customers for their patience during the technical difficulties, Twelve South is now offering 15 percent off your entire order for one day only with promo code “Oops2018” — ending tonight, March 1 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Twelve South has a store full of Apple-only products, and the discount can go towards anything from smaller items like the $29.99 PencilSnap for Apple Pencil (discounted to $25.49), bigger products like the $99.99 BookBook for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (discounted to $84.99), or any combination orders. All that you have to do is enter the promo code “Oops2018” and the discount will be applied to your order.
Lastly, Target has launched a new and unique offer for users interested in purchasing an App Store and iTunes Gift card. Through March 3, customers can get 10 percent more in iTunes credit when they buy an iTunes gift card (email delivery) at Target, and they’ll see the bonus value added to their Apple ID “instantly” upon redeeming the gift card.
We’ve broken down each of the qualifying iTunes card tiers and the bonus amount you’ll get in the list below. This deal isn’t as good as the straight $10 or $15 discounts we’ve previously seen for iTunes cards, but if you’re willing to spend on the $100 tier you can get an extra $10, making it the best offer here.
Head over to Target’s website to purchase an iTunes gift card before Saturday, March 3 if you’re interested. It’s also worth noting that if you do make a purchase, you have until the following Saturday, March 10 at 11:59 p.m. ET, to redeem the iTunes gift card within your Apple ID account to receive the 10 percent bonus.

This Nokia/HMD event at the MWC in Barcelona was an emotional trip down memory lane. The Nokia 7 Plus may have stolen the show, but the Nokia 8 Sirocco and the Nokia 8110 4G have stolen our hearts. The banana phone and the famous Matrix handset – the Nokia 8110 – was brought back from the dead with a modern chip, LTE support, and everything. The 8810 4G will be available at just 79 and Banana Yellow is one of the two color options. But HMD is decided to keep those blasts from the past coming. After the iconic 3310 revival followed by this cult 8110 sequel, HMD dusted off yet another…
