Alongside the ongoing pre-orders for the new AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch Series 11, our 9to5Toys Lunch Break has some notable deals to scope out today elsewhere. Firstly, we are tracking the first chance to save and new all-time lows on the Beats woven USB-C cables at $13 Prime shipped alongside a collection of iPhone 17/Air screen protectors from $3 a pop. On the more substantial side of things, Apple’s 24GB M4 MacBook Air models are now $200 off while $300 price drops await on the most affordable M4 MacBook Pro models, and the upgraded 512GB Mac mini is at $110 off. We also have deals on iPhone 16 Pro Max, M3 iPad Air, and an ongoing 25% off sitewide at Satechi. Everything awaits below. 

AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch Series 11/Ultra 3 now live [Update #3]

  • AirPods Pro 3 $249
  • Apple Watch Series 11 42mm $399
  • Apple Watch Series 11 46mm $429
  • Apple Watch Ultra 3 $799
  • Apple Watch Ultra 3 w/ Milanese Loop $899
  • Apple Watch SE 3 40mm $249
  • Apple Watch SE 3 44mm $279

Apple’s 24GB M4 MacBook Air models are now $200 off at Amazon

This week Amazon has brought back $200 price drops across the most affordable end of the current-gen M4 MacBook Air lineup. That leaves the entry-level 16GB configurations starting at $799 in all four colors, and across both the 13-in and 15-inch form-factors. But along with these deals we are also getting notable $200 discounts on the upgraded 24GB models that, at least for some, will deliver better for your buck in the long term.

Amazon is currently offering the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,199 shipped while the comparable 15-inch model is going for $1,399 shipped. Regularly $1,399 and $1,599, both models are $200 for the list price and matching the lowest we have tracked at Amazon in months.

There has, in fact, only been a couple very short stints on select colors at any less than this. And you basically had to get lucky it was the color you wanted and be ready to pull the trigger in the middle of the work day to get them. With today’s deals, everything is at the readily available with the $200 in savings.

Here’s how pricing works out across the lineup right now at Amazon:

While for some, the 16GB configs that will save you even more cash will suffice – that much RAM is typically enough or most users. I, however, have started to lean more towards the 24GB setups – something just tells me it won’t be long before the 16GB setup goes the way of the old 8GB and having 24GB of RAM just feels more future proof for me, but I also rarely upgrade my MacBook every single year. Either way, the deals are flying with some of the best prices of the year across the entire lineup.

Totallee’s clear iPhone 17 series cases have arrived to deliver some ultra-thin protection and grip while showing off your new phone. The thinnest option, The Scarf is only 0.02” thin and drop-tested up to 3 feet, while the more protective option, The Spy, comes in at 0.04” thin and drop-tested for 6 feet. These cases are designed for people who don’t like extra bulk.

Amazon just slashed $300 off the most affordable M4 MacBook Pro models

While we have spotted some notable discounts on the higher-end M4 Pro and 16-inch variants as of late, Amazon has now brought back all of $300 price drops on the most affordable end of the current MacBook Pro lineup. Much like we saw this morning with the return of $200 discounts on the M4 MacBook Air with deals from $799, the summertime $300 price drops on the M4 MacBook Pro configs are back at Amazon.

Amazon is now offering the entry 16GB/512GB M4 MacBook Pro down at $1,299 shipped. This is a regularly $1,599 machine that is now seeing a $300 price drop to bring it back down to the price we featured for Labor Day this year and in early August. This is matching the best price we have tracked on the most affordable MacBook Pro with the M4 chip at Amazon.

This deal also joins similar price drops on the upgraded configurations as well – the 16GB/1TB model is now down at $1,499 while the 24GB/1TB config is going for $1,699 shipped, both of which are now $300 off the list prices.

All three models are matching our previous mentions to deliver some of the lowest prices we have tracked anywhere online on some of Apple’s most affordable pro-grade machines – just keep in mind we have seen the base model 24GB/512GB M4 Pro variant as low as $1,699 in the past.

While it does appear as though Apple could be upgrading the lineup with the M5 chip this fall, maybe even in the next few weeks, if it took this long into the M4 lifecycle to see the current models at $300 off, chances are this will also be the case for the M5 models too. It also worth mentioning that some analysts don’t expect the new M5 lineup until next year – here’s the latest from 9to5Mac:

M4 Mac mini with 2x storage upgrade now back at Amazon all-time low with $110 in savings

Amazon dropped the most affordable M4 Mac mini configurationdown to $499 shipped this past weekend for $100 in savings. That is clearly one of the best values in a current-generation, M4-equipped Mac full stop. But if that 256GB of internal storage is a bit light for your needs, it is also offering $110 off the upgraded model with 2x storage.

Amazon is now offering the 16GB M4 Mac mini with 512GB of internal storage down at $689 shipped. You’re looking at a regularly $799 machine at $110 off the list to match the lowest price we have tracked.

While we have seen the base model, and upgraded 24GB config go for better than $110 off previously, this mid-ranger solution that still remains quite affordable, all things considered, has never dropped below the $689 we have here today at Amazon.

Stock appears to be running low on this deal at Amazon right now as well, so you might not want to sleep on it if you’re interested.

Clearly the real value in the Mac mini lineup is the price, and the base model with 16GB RAM delivers more value than an entry-level Mac mini ever has in my opinion. But the 256GB of storage leaves a lot to be desired for me. Yes, you can just leverage some external storage when needed and save on the Apple tax for the internal SSD upgrade, but 256GB is a bit thin and can get a touch annoying when installing larger apps and asset libraries and the like. The 512GB however, remains relatively affordable while doubling down on the breathing room when it comes to storing files, even if it is temporarily.
