Alongside the debut of AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Series 11, and Apple Watch Ultra 3, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break features some Mac and iPad deals that might be flying under the radar. All M4 MacBook Air models are still $200 off the list prices alongside M4 Mac mini starting from $499 and M4 MacBook Pro models with $300 price drops. Those offers join a new all-time low on the 256GB 11-inch M3 iPad Air at $165 off, this upgraded iPad A16 at $155 off, some official Apple USB-C cables as low as $6.50 a pop, and more. Just be sure to scope out the ongoing launch deals on the new Apple iPhone 17 cases and all of the details on everything down below.  

Apple deals live for iPhone 17 launch week: AirPods Pro 3 first discount, Mac mini, more [Updated]

  • 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

All official Apple iPhone 17 and 17 Pro Max cases just dropped even lower at Amazon: TechWoven, Silicone, more

This deal on Apple’s 11-inch M3 iPad Air undercuts Amazon’s all-time low at $165 off

While you will still find Amazon all-time low pricing across the most affordable M3 iPad Air models at Amazon starting from $449, Woot launched a notable Apple gear saletoday with one configuration for even less. Woot is now undercutting the Amazon offer on the 11-inch 256GB M3 iPad Air down at $534 Prime shipped when apply code APPLEFIVE at checkout. Details below.

Woot is now offering the 256GB 11-inch M3 iPad Air in blue down at $539, but using code APPLEFIVE at checkout will knock an additional $5 off your order to bring your total down to $534 with free shipping for Prime members (a $6 deliver fee will apply otherwise).

This is a regularly $699 iPad from Apple that is currently on sale for $549 at Amazon – that’s $150 off and the lowest price we have ever seen at Amazon on this configuration. At Woot, however, this model is now $165 off its list price to deliver the best we have tracked. Woot only has the blue color at this price, whereas Amazon has all of them at $150 off, but it is the best price.

The trade-off here is that Woot only ships this particular unit with a 90-day Woot warranty as opposed to the full Apple warranty you’ll get over at Amazon. If that’s a deal breaker for you, we will leave you with the discounted prices at Amazon across the entire lineup below:

M3 iPad Air 11-inch

M3 iPad Air 13-inch

Apple’s 512GB iPad (A16) just hit one of its best prices ever at $155 off, but you can score M3 iPad Air for less

Rare deals hit official Apple Watch Sport Bands at Amazon from $37

Official all-black Apple Watch Ocean Band for Ultra 2/3 hits Amazon all-time low

Stock up on official Apple USB-C cables while they are starting from just $6.50 each (Reg. $19+)

As we detailed this morning, Woot is offering a series of deals on official Apple gear alongside a bonus $5 off at checkout using code APPLEFIVE. That means the already discounted official Apple USB-C Charge Cables will drop even lower, including both the 1-meter and 2-meter options – you can score these cables as low as $6.67 Prime shipped a pop. Details below.

While we have seen both these 1-meter and 2-meter Apple USB-C cables for a couple bucks less than the listed prices below, applying code APPLEFIVE at checkout to knock $5 off your order will deliver some of the lowest we have ever tracked. This will take the 3-pack of 1-meter models down to $6.67 a pop and the 2-meter 3-pack down to $8.34 each:

Now they might not be the latest and most powerful Apple USB-C cables you’ll find in the current lineup, but they are still the real thing with up to 60 watts of power passthrough and data transfers at USB 2 rates. That’s certainly nothing to write home about these days, but if you’re looking land some extra Apple cables for your EDC kit or as spares, the prices are certainly right here.

Best M4 Mac deals live right now at up to $300 off: MacBook Air/Pro and Mac mini starting from $499

While everyone is largely focused on AirPods Pro 3, the new Apple Watch models, and the iPhone 17 lineup this week, and rightfully so, there are some great Mac deals that might be flying under your radar. Not only has Amazon brought back the all-time low pricing on several M4 MacBook Air models at $200 offthe list price, but we are also tracking M4 Mac mini starting from $499 and M4 MacBook Pro models with $300 price drops. Scope it all out below if you’re looking for a fall upgrade.

M4 MacBook Air at $200 off

Firstly let’s kick things off with the M4 MacBook Air lineup. While we have seen select configurations, largely the more pricey options, go for a touch less in the past, Amazon is offering $200 off every single model in the ;lineup and on just about every color option. Deals kick off from $799 and you browse through the storage tiers below:

M4 Mac mini from $499

Next up is Mac mini – Apple’s most value-packed current-generation machine by just about anyone’s standard. While it’s certainly not portable the way a MacBook is, even the most affordable configurations are a ton of Mac for the price of you ask me – a current-generation M4 machine at $499 shipped is a steal. 

M4 MacBook Pro at $300 off

And lastly we have the most affordable end of Apple’s current MacBook Pro lineup. We might very well see M5 models debut in the coming weeks – it wouldn’t be uncommon to see Apple drop new MacBook Pro models in October – you’re not going to be getting one of those at $300 off the list price any time soon. And, again, we are talking about the most affordable M4 models in the lineup at $300 off the list price. 

All of the new Apple iPhone 17/Pro/Max and iPhone Air Clear cases are now seeing launch deals at Amazon

Official Apple iPhone 17 Silicone MagSafe Case launch deals live at Amazon – all five colors

Logitech debuts new wireless keyboard for Mac, iPhone, and iPad you never need to charge

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

Official 30/35W Apple chargers are Qi2.2-ready, now starting at $25 Amazon lows (Up to 51% off)

Apple’s new iPhone Air Bumper case now seeing launch deals on Amazon from $35

Apple’s new 2025 model 25W Qi2 MagSafe Charger just dropped again, score one at $34 (30% off)

We caught an early deal on the brand new 2025 Apple MagSafe charger that just released earlier this week, but Amazon just dropped the price again. The new official Apple Qi2.2 25W MagSafe Charger is now nearly 30% off via Amazon to deliver a new all-time low and the best price we have tracked to date.

Amazon is now offering the 2025 model Apple MagSafe Charger in the 2-meter length down at $34.90 $34.30 shipped. Regularly $49, this is 29% off the going rate, $15 under our previous mention, and the best price we have seen anywhere since it first went up for sale in the last week.

Not to be confused with last year’s model, Apple quietly unleashed a brand new official MagSafe Charger alongside the debut of the new AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Series 11/Ultra 3, and the iPhone 17/Air lineup.

This model once again delivers the max 25W of juice over a magnetic wireless connection, just like last year’s, but this time around it is certified for Qi2.2 and Qi charging. That presumably means it will be able to deliver the full 25W of juice to not only iPhone 16 and Phone 17 devices but also to any other Qi2.2-ready gear capable of handling the 25W of power.

It is otherwise, by and large, the same as the previous model with an Apple woven cable tethering a USB-C jack on one end to the magnetic charging pad on the other. Apple specifically states you will need to pair its 2025 MagSafe Charger up with a 30W power adapter to maximize its 25W capabilities.

As of right now only the 2-meter model is discounted and is, in fact, now selling for less than the $39 list price on the shorter 1-meter variant. We will be keeping a close eye on this listing for folks who might prefer the shorter lead.
