Amazon has launched more Apple deals this Thursday, following Tuesday markdowns on 2018 iPad Pros. Shoppers can snap up a 10.5-inch iPad Pro with 512GB of space for just $699, a discount of $300 off MSRP. Apple Watches are also on sale, matching the lowest prices ever.

The Apple Watch could be used to perform more authentication for the Mac in macOS 10.15, as it is thought the operating system update will expand the usage of the wearable device to authenticate users for more tasks than just unlocking the Mac without entering a password.
