Alongside the Black Friday pricing that is somehow still live on AirPods 4 with ANC down at $99, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is kicking off with a giant $450 discount on Apple’s 512GB M4 iPad Pro at Amazon. We also have the most affordable 24GB M5 MacBook Pro you can buy down at $200 off the list price joined by some accessory deals – Apple’s 240W USB-C cable at $18, the new Crossbody Strap at nearly 30% off, and a series of deals on Apple Watch Ultra bands. Scope it all out below.

Giant $450 price drop hits Apple’s 512GB M4 iPad Pro at Amazon today
While there are still some $100 price drops live across the new M5 iPad Pro lineup, we just spotted a particularly giant deal on the 512GB 13-inch M4 iPad Pro at nearly $450 off the list price courtesy of Amazon.
Amazon is now offering the 512GB 13-inch M4 iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cell model down at $1,249.97 shipped. This was a regularly $1,699 configuration before it was replaced by the new M5 model that is now nearly $450 off.
This giant discount is the lowest price we have ever tracked at Amazon on this configuration and the best we can find. Previous to today, this model had never dropped below $1,470 there.
This is indeed the always-connected cell variant that fetches a premium over the standard 512GB, but even that regularly $1,499 model has only dropped below $1,299 a couple times – it hit the $1,206 all-time low in silver last month.
For some, investing over $1,200 in a now previous-generation iPad is just not worth it, and that is perhaps understandable. But I think it’s safe to say these pro-grade Apple tablets are still quite a powerful and compelling solution and will remain as such for years – the M4 chip is still powering plenty of current-generation machines and the iPad Air lineup is still running the M3 at this point. It is also worth noting the comparable M5 machine is going to run you $1,440 without the cell connectivity and the full $1,699 with it right now.
This 24GB M5 MacBook Pro config is $400 less than the model Amazon sells ($200 off)
This morning we are checking back in with Apple’s new M5 MacBook Pro lineup. We are actually still tracking some deep discounts on the 16GB models at Amazon right now with $250 slashed from the list prices to land on par with the lowest price we have tracked, but we also wanted to shine some light on this 24GB configuration at B&H.
