Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is starting off with the most affordable current-generation AirPods 4 back down at $99 alongside some exclusive iPad deals for 9to5 readers – 13-inch M2 iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cell at $299 off and a giant $500+ off Apple’s 1TB M4 iPad Pro. We also have the return of the 32GB M2 Max Mac Studio at $900 off the original price and a notable discount on the 24GB M3 MacBook Air at $450 off the list price – M4 models are still starting from $799 as well. Everything else awaits below.
AirPods 4 now starting within $10 of Prime Day low at $99 shipped via Amazon, more
Last month’s Prime Day festivities delivered some notable discounts on the latest AirPods 4, as well as a new all-time low on AirPods Pro 2. While pricing isn’t quite as low now, Amazon is currently offering the most affordable of the current-generation models down at $99 shipped, which lands within $10 of the Prime Day low.
If you happened to have missed out on the Prime Day offer at $89 (it quickly jumped up to $90 thereafter), today’s deal lands on par with the best we have tracked on Amazon otherwise and gives folks, at the very least, another shot at landing a new set for the summer at a discount.
We are, of course, talking about the AirPods 4 base model without the active noise cancellation tech, but there are some discounts, albeit not as good as we saw last month, on both the AirPods 4 with ANC and AirPods Pro 2 right now at well below the list price you’ll pay at the Apple Store – the AirPods 4 ANC fell to $119 for Prime Day and the AirPods Pro 2 landed at the $149 low:
You can, of course, get all of the latest and news on Apple’s AirPods business and new features over at 9to5Mac, including rumors and leaked details on the potentially upcoming new sets:
Amazon now has 24GB M3 MacBook Air at $450 off the list price ($150+ under a discounted M4 model)
As the particularly notable $200 price drops continue on Apple’s latest M4 MacBook Air lineup with deals from $799 shipped, Amazon is also now serving up a particularly notable deal on the M3. More specifically you’ll find the 15-inch 24GB M3 MacBook Air sitting down at $1,249 shipped – that’s $350 under the price of the M4.
While you can score latest 24GB M4 15-inch down at $1,399 shipped right now in all four colors, that model typically carries a regular price tag at $1,599.
And just to put the deal price into perspective further, Apple got rid of the 8GB tiers on the MacBook Air (and other models) last year, which resulted in an effective price drop across the lineup. The 24GB model we are featuring here today carried an original list price at $1,899, before falling to $1,699 thereafter.
