Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is starting off with our growing collection of Apple gear Labor Day deals you’ll find organized for you right here. We are also highlighting a 1TB M4 MacBook Air configuration with 24GB of RAM at $200 off the list ($600 under the MSRP on the comparable MacBook Pro), price drops on all of Apple’s most affordable current-gen iPad models starting from $299, and an even lower price on AirPods 4 ANC at $139. The 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max has now dropped even lower at over $720 off, and we also spotted one of the best prices yet on Satechi’s metal 15W Trio MagSafe Wireless Charging Pad. All of that and more awaits below.
Save $200 on Apple’s 1TB M4 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM – $600 less than comparable MacBook Pro
Joining the ongoing $200 price drops across the most affordable M4 MacBook Air models that are carrying into Labor Day weekend, folks looking to land an upgraded config are also in luck. As part of the B&H Labor Day sale, we are tracking heavily upgraded 1TB models you can’t even buy at Amazon with straight up $200 price drops.
While you can get into the M4 MacBook Pro lineup for the sort of cash you’ll spend on these discounted M4 MacBook Air configurations, you certainly won’t be getting the same sort of internal RAM and storage specs.
As you can see above, B&H is offering $200 off a series of 1TB M4 MacBook Air configurations to deliver the lowest prices we can find from a reputable dealer on these upgraded models.
Let’s take the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB as an example here. You can in fact score the base model M4 MacBook Pro for $100 less than this at Amazon right now – it is currently $300 off the list price at $1,299 shipped. The Pro has the same 10‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU, and an even better display, but only 16GB of RAM and half the internal storage – and we all know how pricey Apple upgrades are.
For some, the 16GB of RAM and a half TB of SSD action is more than enough, if that’s the case we recommend going with the Pro model. But if you want the upgraded specs, a 24GB/1TB M4 Pro is going to cost you $1,699 shipped – that is $300 off, but also $300 more than the M4 MacBook Air we are featuring here today.
And if you don’t care about any of this and would rather just score a current-generation machine at the lowest possible price, they are all on sale and waiting for you below:
Amazon just dropped the price on AirPods 4 again, ANC now at $139 and base model at $90
Apple is about ready to unleash the new AirPods Pro 3, but by just about all accounts the AirPods 4 are not getting a refresh this year. And not only is Amazon offering the base model set down at $89.99 shipped right now, it just dropped the price on the AirPods 4 with ANC even lower to $138.99 shipped.
The AirPods 4 are the most affordable models in the current-generation lineup right now and they are sitting within $10 of the Prime Day all-time low at $89.99 shipped.
But folks looking to bring the Apple noise cancellation tech home will want to look towards the higher-end AirPods 4 with ANC – they have now dropped down to the lowest price we have tracked at Amazon outside of the limited Prime Day deal:
The AirPods Pro 2 that are most likely to be superseded by the third-generation set in just under a two weeks time have now jumped up to $199. We recommend holding off on those until they are closer to $169, or just waiting on the new series 3 model. That said, chances are the AirPods Pro 3 are going to land somewhere in the $249 range at launch, if not more, and that’s a whole lot more pricey than the AirPods 4 deals we have right now. On top of that, if Apple’s sticks with its recent AirPods launch schedule, AirPods 5 won’t hit until this time next year.
Whatever route you take there, stay locked to 9to5Mac for all of the latest leaks and inside reports on the upcoming AirPods releases:
All of Apple’s most affordable current-gen iPad models now on sale for Labor Day at up to $150 off
While the last couple of weeks have largely been all about the Mac, the iPad deals are starting to flood-in ahead of Labor Day weekend. Ongoing discounts on the M4 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini lineup have stolen headlines as of late, but the most affordable spectrum of Apple’s latest tablets are all seeing solid discounts in the lead up to the long weekend with discounted pricing starting down at $299.
We are indeed tracking up to $200 off the M4 iPad Pro models right now, but I don’t think anyone would categorize those as affordable, even with hundreds in savings.
This go around we are highlighting the more accessible and universally appealing deals across the latest iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad (A16) lineup.
For many, choosing which of these three models to go with isn’t all that difficult – the mini is well, mini at 8.3-inches, the iPad Air is a likely candidate for those looking for the best and most powerful current-gen M series iPad that doesn’t want to spend M4 iPad Pro money, and the 11-inch iPad (A16) is going to offer up notable touchscreen real estate for casual users that don’t care about Apple Intelligence features.
But beyond size, in the end it (mostly) all comes down to price and thankfully the most affordable configurations in all three lineups are now marked down ahead of the Labor Day weekend:
The iPad mini 7 is within $20 off the all-time low pricing at Amazon right now. The iPad (A16) has been sitting at $299 for some time, off and on, and has gone for as little as $280 or so previously.
But the most notable discounts of the bunch, at least by 9to5Toys standards, is the M3 iPad Air lineup – these deals on the most affordable models are now matching the lowest prices we have tracked to date and are even undercutting the deals we saw for Prime Day 2025.

Grab a 24GB M4 Mac mini at $300 less than the one you can buy at Amazon
In the lead up to Labor Day weekend, B&H has been going crazy with the Mac deals. Delivering some of the best prices we have tracked all year on configurations you just can’t get at Amazon and Best Buy. One of the more interesting and standout offers here is on the 24GB M4 Mac mini at $699 shipped – this is not the $999 24GB model you can get at Amazon, but rather the most affordable 24GB configuration you can buy with a solid $100 price drop.
Landing any of the more affordable M4 Mac mini configs at $100 off is still a solid deal. While we have seen some of the models Amazon offers drop even more than that, there has never been a time when you could have scored a 24GB M4 mini anywhere near the $699 we have here today.
The only 24GB M4 mini you can buy at Amazon also has 512GB of storage, and, while that storage can certainly come in handy, it is also quite an expensive upgrade.
The 24GB/512GB M4 Mac mini carries a $999 list price and rarely goes for less than $899 at Amazon. But if you can instead rely on some external storage you might already have, you can land the 24GB/256GB model for a whole lot less than that courtesy of the beloved authorized dealers over at B&H:
More storage is great and 16GB of RAM is perhaps plenty for some folks, but the 24GB RAM setups are starting to become even more appealing for me personally and I’d much rather pay for the horsepower than the storage I can supplement with a less pricey external drive of some kind.
