Joining the first cash deal on the new AirPods Pro 3 that is still live today, we have a fresh batch of 9to5Toys Lunch Break deals to scope out below. Firstly, all of the official Apple iPhone 17 and 17 Pro/Max cases have dropped even lower at Amazon alongside the best price yet on Apple’s new iPhone Air Bumper. Amazon is also delivering a new all-time low on the official all-black Apple Watch Ocean Band for Ultra 2/3, we have a straight up $100 cash discount on the latest USB-AirPods Max, and an even lower price on Apple’s new 2025 model 25W Qi2 MagSafe Charger. All of that and more awaits in detail down below.
Amazon now offering first cash discount on Apple’s brand new AirPods Pro 3
Amazon is now offering the brand new AirPods Pro 3 with a nice little launch deal at $239 shipped. We certainly didn’t expect to see a massive price drop on these right at launch, but for folks looking to jump in now, it is something. The first cash discount on AirPods Pro 3 is now live.
Apple unleashed the next-generation AirPods Pro 3 alongside the new iPhone 17 lineup, Apple Watch Series 11, SE3, and the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 during this month’s “Awe dropping” event. They went up for pre-order last week at the same $249 as AirPods Pro 2.
There was a FREE $20 credit available at Best Buy for a short-time during the pre-order phase, but that deal appears to be no more as they are now selling for the full $250 there.
Again, the $10 price drop here at Amazon isn’t a massive one or anything but it is the best deal we can find on the next-generation version of Apple’s crazy popular wireless in-ear listening system and the best option if you’re looking to score a pair this weekend. There’s no telling how long it might take before we see a better deal than this one – there is a chance Black Friday or the fall Prime Day event delivers a better price, but it might not even be much better than this if it happens at all.
The new AirPods Pro 3 feature “the world’s best active noise cancellation” in a pair of earbuds, according to Apple, “improved acoustics,” and a better in-ear fit. After getting a chance to review them ourselves, we said the best are now even better.
Another key upgrade here on AirPods Pro 3 is the all-new heart rate sensing functionality. This new built-in sensor allows you to “track your heart rate and calories burned for up to 50 different workout types.”
All official Apple iPhone 17 and 17 Pro Max cases just dropped even lower at Amazon: TechWoven, Silicone, more
Just after seeing the first deal at Amazon on the new AirPods Pro 3, we also spotted some launch deals across the entire lineup of Apple’s new iPhone 17/Pro, Pro Max and iPhone Air cases. Not only are all of those deals still live, but some of the new TechWoven models for iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max have now dropped even lower with Amazon all-time low pricing now live from $52.99 shipped. Detials below.
These new Apple covers crafted of a “custom technical woven fabric” sources from “100% recycled” polyester launched with a $59 list price alongside the new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Wow caught some light launch deals down at $56 shipped over the weekend, but just about every color for both of the Pro phones have now dropped even lower:
iPhone 17 Pro TechWoven Case with MagSafe $53 (Reg. $59)
(Reg. $59) iPhone 17 Pro Max TechWoven Case with MagSafe $53 (Reg. $59)
Having said that all of that, much of the same applies to the three rest of the models as well – all of the 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max Silicone and Clear cases with MagSafe have also dropped down in price once again as well:

Apple’s most affordable M series iPad back at its best price ever, M3 Air now starts from $449
We are getting another massive collection of deals on current-generation Apple gear this weekend alongside the first delivers of the new iPhone 17 an diphone Air models. One of the highlight deals in this sale for is, among many, is the M3 iPad Air – a 2025 Apple release not getting refreshed until next year at the earliest back down at the best prices we have tracked.
More specifically speaking, we are zeroing-in on the most affordable model in the M3 iPad Air i the lineup – the 11-inch 128GB. For some the storage upgrades are a must, but for me and many of my colleagues, they are much less important on iPad than they are on say, your MacBook.
Right now over at Amazon, all four colors of the 11-inch M3 iPad Air in its most affordable configuration are marked down to $449 shipped – that’s $150 off the $599 list price and matching the lowest price we have tracked to date.
This configuration dropped to $479 shipped during the massive Prime Day festivities in early July indicating that we might not see it go for any less until Black Friday rolls around, but nope.
The most affordable M series iPad that released earlier this year at $150 off might be the best value in Apple tablets all year.
We have seen some of the upgraded configurations with much deeper deals than this in very short blasts – the 1TB with a single color option, the 1TB Cell model for a day or two, the 512GB at a wild price for a couple hours – but the 128GB model in any color is a far more accessible option than just about any of those deals for most folks. Unless you’re a power user, someone looking to use an iPad like a MacBook, or just have some cash to burn, the base model M3 iPad Air is a wonderful option if you ask me.
And while you can score the base 11-inch iPad at $299, or the iPad mini 7 down as low as $399 right now, both of which are compelling options for the right person, the M3 Air we are featuring today is the newest of the bunch, the most powerful, and the only one of the three not running on a re-purposed iPhone chip. The iPad A16 and mini A17 Pro are great machines, but they aren’t quite in the same league as the Air.
