New deals added Wednesday, July 5

Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (from $899): Don’t pay full price on Apple’s latest flagship handsets.

Dell Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 (from $1,443.99): Earlier this week, we brought you a pretty good deal on the 13-inch 2-in-1 from Dell, but if you’re looking for something with a bit more grunt under the hood, consider the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 series powered by a 7th-generation Intel Core i7 processor. For $1,443.99, you can get the 8GB RAM/256GB SSD model, and for $1,614, lay your hands on the slightly more powerful 16GB RAM/512GB SSD version. That’s a saving of $255 and $285 respectively.
