Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is now ready to roll with notable discounts on iPad, MacBook, and Mac mini, among some accessory offers. Alongside the ongoing pre-orders on the new AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch Series 11, we have once again spotted a chance to save $100 on the absolute most affordable M4 Mac mini with 24GB of RAM alongside the entry-level model at $499. Next up, we are highlighting the Space Gray M3 MacBook Air at $400 under the list price on the comparable M4 joined by $200 price drops on the latest models, a new all-time low on this M3 iPad Air at $208 off, and the very first deal on Apple’s brand new 2025 model 25W Qi2 MagSafe Charger. All of that joins offers on iPhone 17 cases, this Find My SmartLock, and more down below.

Apple’s most affordable 24GB M4 Mac mini configuration is now $100 off
Amazon did drop the most affordable M4 Mac mini back down to $499 this week – easily one of the best values in current generation Apple tech – as well as the 16GB/512GB upgraded model to $689 ($110 off), but that special B&H 24GB model deal is back. We are talking about the most affordable 24GB M4 Mac mini you can buy from Apple at $100 off the list price here.
B&H is once again offering the 24GB M4 Mac mini with the 256GB of storage down at $699 shipped. This is a regularly $799 configuration at $100 off the list price. And as a quick reminder, B&H is an official authorized dealer – this is not some cobbled together configuration, but rather the exact same thing you would buy from Apple if you upgraded the base 16GB of RAM up to 24GB.
Yes, Amazon is offering $110 off its 16GB model with the 512GB, and that one is $10 less than the deal we are featuring at B&H here today. But it all depends on how much you value the increased RAM and storage options. Amazon’s has double the internal storage but B&H has more RAM – for me personally, I’ll take the RAM upgrade over the storage as you can always just connect a more affordable external storage solution up easier than trying to upgrade the RAM after the fact.
As far as Apple’s pricing goes, both the 2x storage and 24GB RAM upgrades add $200 to the list price, so it’s really all about what means more to you, and the extra horsepower always wins out for me.
Amazon just dropped the M4 Mac mini back down to $499
Space Gray is back on Apple Watch Series 11, and this matching M3 MacBook Air is $400 less than an M4 right now
Amazon is now offering the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air down at $1,199 shipped. That’s $400 less than the list on the comparable M4 and $200 under the deal price we are tracking on one right now. And with the return of Space Gray on Apple Watch Series 11, we thought this deal ought to get some shine (it is also available in Starlight).
Apple has largely been phasing out its Space Gray paint jobs. It was a color that, at one point, use to adorn the MacBook Air lineup, iMac Pro, and MacBook Pro, even the HomePod releases – you can follow Apple’s journey away from Space Gray over at 9to5Mac right here.
But just after completely removing the Space Gray treatment in favor of the new Sky Blue on the M4 lineup this year, and seemingly ridding its lineup of the color almost entirely, Space Gray is making a return on Apple Watch Series 11 this year. Now you can score a matching MacBook at $400 off to sit nicely alongside your Space Gray Series 11, iPad mini, and M3 iPad Air – if you’re into that kinda thing.
Now let’s talk price.
As we detailed in the past, explaining the original price, post-RAM boost sticker price, and how that all compares to the M4 model isn’t exactly the most straight forward of tasks when it comes to the M3 MacBook, but this should help:
When it comes to the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD, here’s what you need to know:
Original price: $1,899
New list price after RAM upgrade: $1,699
List price on the comparable M4 model: $1,599
Clearly pricing on Apple’s MacBook Air lineup has, for the most part, been coming down since the original release of the M3 model we are featuring here today. That said, it is now $1,199, is still a compelling machine to own in my opinion, and is well below the price of the M4 nonetheless – today’s deal is $400 under the $1,599 sticker price on the M4 and $200 less than you’ll pay with the deal we are tracking at Amazon right now.
Here’s how deal pricing shakes out across the M4 lineup:
Apple’s 1TB M3 iPad Air Cell model just hit the Amazon all-time low at $208 off the list, more from $449
While we are now tracking the return of all-time lows across the most affable M3 iPad Air models at $150 off, we just spotted the best price yet on the 13-inch 1TB with the Cell upgrade. Amazon is now offering a special price on the blue 1TB upgraded model at nearly $210 off the list price – the best we have seen to date.
You will now find the 13-inch M3 iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cell model on sale at $1,240.34 shipped. This is a regularly $1,449 configuration at just under $209 off the list price to deliver a new Amazon all-time low.
Up until now the best we have seen on the more affordable models is the $150 off we have right now. The entire Wi-Fi only lineup is sitting at $150 off starting from $449 on the 11-inch form factor and $649 on the 13-inch. And while we have seen some one-off price drops at better than that, they have only been on the Wi-Fi + Cell models, like we have here today.
There have also been a couple Lightning deals on Cell models as well as our exclusive offers that we delivered to readers previously, but this is the best we have seen on Amazon for this configuration.
Here’s how pricing breaks down across the Wi-Fi models right now:

Apple’s brand new 2025 model 25W Qi2 MagSafe Charger is getting its first deal today at Amazon
The very first price drop has arrived on Apple’s brand new Qi2.2 25W MagSafe Charger courtesy of Amazon. Apple somewhat quietly released a new 25W MagSafe charger alongside the new iPhone 17/Pro, iPhone Air, and iPhone Air MagSafe Battery last week. The new charger delivers the same 25W speeds as the second-generation model from last year, up from the 15W on the model before that, but this time it arrives with proper Qi2.2 support (as far as we can tell) – it can deliver 25W of juice to more than just iPhone 16 models.
Amazon is now offering the new 2-meter Apple MagSafe Charger for $42.99 shipped, down from the regular $49 list price. This isn’t a giant deal but it is nearly 15% off and the very first discount we have tracked anywhere on the brand new model.
As you can see from the imagery, the new 2025 edition is for the most part identical to last year’s model in terms of the build and form-factor – a woven USB-C cable attached to Apple’s magnetic charging puck.
The only real difference we can see between this one and the previous model, outside of the fact that Apple doesn’t sell the other one anymore, is that this time around it is “certified for Qi2 25W and Qi charging,” so it can be used to “wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or later, as well as AirPods models with a wireless charging case.” This presumably means it can deliver 25W of juice to more than just iPhone 16 and 17 models (last year’s version could only provide the max 25W to iPhone 16), but also any Qi2.2-ready device that can ingest 25W, like say the new Pixel 10 devices.
Along with the launch of iOS 26, all iPhone 16 models, save for the 16e, and iPhone 17 phones can handle a Qi2 25W charge. Apple does say you need to connect its new MagSafe Charger with a 30W power adapter to hit those speeds with it though.
There isn’t a ton of hard data on the differences out there, but this is what we can pull from the official Apple listings and the like.
Unlike with the release of last year’s model, and with the emergence of Qi2.2 in the third-party market, Apple is no longer the only game in town when it comes to 25W magnetic wireless charging – scope out some of the new gear we have featured supporting the new Qi2.2 charging below:

Today’s accessories and charging deals:
This M4 Max MacBook Pro with 32GB of RAM is $400 off at Amazon today, M4 models at $300 off
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:
