Best of 9to5Toys: Black Friday ad leaks, Anker sale from $10, Refurb iPhone 8/Plus, more

In this week’s Best of 9to5Toys: Black Friday ads start to leak, Anker launches a great sale with deals on USB-C gear and more from $10, refurbished iPhone 8/Plus from $499, more…

Black Friday is under a month away (can you believe it?!) and we’re starting to see ads leak. From Amazon to Target, Kohl’s, Dell, Newegg, and more, we’re beginning to get a glimpse at this year’s best prices.

Anker is one of my personal favorite brands when it comes to charging accessories. I own way too many of their products (if there is such a thing as too many), and it’s now even more affordable to pick up some of their gear. From chargers to projectors, screen protectors, and more, Anker has you covered from $10 Prime shipped.

Apple has begun selling its iPhone 8/Plus phone in refurbished condition from $499 shipped. This is a great way to save on last year’s flagships, and they’re still awesome phones to use today. My folks still use the iPhone 7 Plus and the 8 Plus is even faster, and it sports Qi wireless charging.
