Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by what might be your chance so score a seriously deep deal as official price hikes start to hit Amazon – score MacBook Pro at up to $650 off while you still can and the same goes for M4 iPad Air at $350 off. Prime Day all-time low pricing is still live on Apple’s 2026 AirTag 2 from $22 each, and the ultra-rare Prime Day deal rolls on with the latest black Apple Magic Mouse back at its best Amazon price ever. Head below for a closer look.
Official price hikes starting to hit Amazon, score MacBook Pro at up to $650 less while you still can
While all but every single MacBook Air has now gone entirely out of stock or is now reflecting the new, much higher prices Apple just announced, there are still some M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max models sitting with pre-price hike deals at up to $650 off – these might be the lowest prices we see on these machines in a very long time and they are selling out quick.
We detailed these offers over the weekend to ensure folks had a chance to score one before they are gone for good, but there are still some options at dramatically lower prices than we are about to see everywhere if you move fast:

Selling out quick: You can still land M4 iPad Air at $350 off before the price hike hits Amazon
If you’re interested in an M4 iPad Air, or will be at some point in the relatively near future, don’t sleep on these deals. Amazon still has various configs of the latest M4 iPad Air at deal pricing based on the pre-price hike MSRP – they are up to $230 off on 512GB and as much as $350 off for the 1TB.
Stock is starting to run very thin at Amazon and the price is surely about to jump up significantly. There are only a few models left with dwindling stock on select colors, but there are still some options sitting at the pre-price hike Prime Day price:
