Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is ready to roll starting off with iPad Air. We are tracking $150 price drops to deliver new all-time lows across the latest M3 lineup, but we also spotted a new Amazon all-time low on the least pricey 13-inch Wi-Fi + Cell M2 model at $300 off the original price tag. Those deals also join another rare M4 MacBook Air offer that has the 15-inch model with 24GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD at $200 off the list price alongside 16GB M2 Mac mini starting from $370 Prime shipped, MacBook Pro deals, and more. Head below to check it all out.
Apple’s 13-inch M2 iPad Air Cell just hit a $649 Amazon low ($300 off), but the M3 Wi-Fi is at the same price today
Amazon is now offering the 13-inch M2 iPad Air 128GB with the Wi-Fi + Cell upgrade from $649 shipped. You’re looking at an originally $949 configuration that is now seeing a major $300 price drop and landing at a new Amazon all-time low, but there are some things to consider here. Details below.
Today’s deal is the best we have tracked on Amazon and the lowest price we can find from a reputable source anywhere right now.
This is the most affordable M2 iPad Air configuration with the 13-inch display, just with the always connected cell upgrade. That said, and even if you don’t care about the cell capabilities, it is now well below the price of the M2 128GB without it. But….
How does this deal compare to the newer 2025 M3 iPad Air?
The M3 iPad Air lineup happens to be sitting at its best prices to date right now with $150 price drops across the entire lineup, including the otherwise comparable 128GB 13-inch Wi-Fi + Cell model:
13-inch M3 iPad Air 128GB from $649 (Reg. $799)
(Reg. $799) 13-inch M3 iPad Air 128GB Cell model $799 (Reg. $949)
As you can see above, today’s M2 deal is indeed $150 under the M3 cell model, but something that might not have been immediately apparent is how pricey the cell upgrade is – today’s deal on the M2 cell model is particularly great at $300 off, but it is the same price as the 128GB M3 13-inch at $649.
All of that is to say this: If you don’t care about the cell connectivity, you might as well grab the brand new M3 iPad Air while it’s down at the same price instead. The $649 price of entry on the 13-inch M3 is indeed the lowest we have ever tracked and is, by just about any standard, a great deal for a machine that just released earlier this year.
Here’s how pricing breakdown across the entire M3 lineup right now:
Here’s another rare M4 MacBook Air deal: 15-inch model with 24GB RAM and 1TB storage at $200 off
We recently featured a deal on the 1TB 13-inch M4 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM – that offer is still live right here, and today we are looking at an equally as rare deal on the 15-inch variant. Over at B&H you’ll now find the 15-inch model with the upgraded 1TB of storage at $200 off the list price as well. Details below.
B&H is now offering the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air with the 1TB internal SSD and 24GB of RAM down at $1,599 shipped. If you were to configure this machine directly on the Apple site it would cost you $1,799.
Today’s deal delivers a straight up $200 cash discount on a rarely discounted configuration. If you don’t know the drill by now, B&H is a trusted and beloved authorized Apple dealer that is one of the only places to score deals on these sorts of upgraded configurations – you can’t even buy this 24GB/1TB setup from Amazon at all.
As mentioned above, those interested in the 13-inch 1TB model can land the same $200 price drop down at $1,399 shipped. Just keep in mind, you can land the 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB storage at $1,699 shipped via a notable deal at Amazon right now as well – that’s $100 more than the 15-inch 1TB Air above.
And those who prefer to stick with the more affordable models, every single one of them is still $200 off at Amazon right now starting from $799 shipped:
Rare price drop hits M4 MacBook Air with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD at $200 off, more
Apple M4 Pro MacBook Pro back to Black Friday pricing – most affordable 24GB model at $300 off
Today’s accessories and charging deals:
If you’re crazy enough to buy Apple’s beast mode 36GB M4 Max MacBook Pro, it’s $420 off right now (Amazon low)
There are some seriously notable deals right now on the M4 and M4 Pro MacBook Pro lineup – we are talking straight up $300 price drops on the most affordable models and the slightly upgraded versions. On the completely other side of the spectrum, for folks conducting advanced scientific simulations to uncover the mysteries of the universe, editing feature films on the subway, or recording the London Philharmonic in the park with a convolution reverb addiction on tow, Apple’s beast 16.2-inch M4 Max MacBook Pro with 36GB of RAM is now over $420 off at Amazon.
Look, we get it – this is not a machine very many folks are going to be jumping on. You can almost buy a small used car for this amount. But if you are looking to score a deep deal on a seriously powerful MacBook that will likely last you years to come – likely longer than the time it takes you to purchase a couple $1,500 MacBooks over the next couple years, the price is right.
Amazon has the 16.2-inch M4 Max MacBook Pro, complete with a 14‑core CPU and 32‑core GPU alongside 36GB of RAM and the 1TB internal SSD, starting from $3,078.16 shipped. This is a regularly $3,499 monster of a MacBook Pro that is now sitting at a new Amazon all-time low with over $420 in savings on the Space Black model.
If, however, you aren’t entirely reckless with your credit card, or just not looking to buy me the best birthday gift ever, you’ll want to scope out the deals we have right now on the drastically more affordable M4/Pro MacBook Pro models right now starting from $1,299 shipped:
Apple Watch Ultra 2 now $150 off in brand new condition: Black or Natural Titanium
Amazon is still offering straight up $150 in savings on the Natural Titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2. For me personally, the Natural color is the way to go – it just seems to match alongside any outfit, and looks way more premium with a design akin to a proper luxury timepiece – but the black variant has been a popular solution among folks and you can now score one at the best prices we have tracked in brand new condition as well.
Best Buy, as part of its Tech Fest Sale, is now offering various Black Titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 configurations down at $649 shipped. Regularly $799, this is $150 off, matching the Prime Day prices and landing on par with the very best we have tracked in brand new condition. You’ll also find the higher-end config with the black Milanese Loop down at $749 from the usual $899 list price – we have seen this one go for less in the past, but only in extremely short-lived Amazon offers.
It is also worth noting that Amazon has been completely out of stock on the Black titanium models for roughly a month now, and curiously so. While it, again, does have the Natural Titanium models down at $649 shipped, its stock on the black variant has been completely depleted.
It is August, and that (usually) means the new Apple Watch lineup is inbound very soon, with Series 11 and Ultra 3 now on the horizon. You’re not going to be scoring those at deals like we have here today on the still current-gen models anytime soon, but everything you need to know is waiting over at 9to5Mac:
Now even lower: Apple Watch Series 10 Cell models just hit some of the best prices ever at $149 off
