Monday’s best deals have a fitting spring discount as a headliner, dropping Apple Watch SE 2 styles down to $189 just in time for warm weather workouts. You can also score a rare deal on Apple’s original Leather MagSafe Wallet at $25, while 14-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro now starts from $1,605. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Save $60 on carbon neutral Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen styles
Amazon is now offering some of the lowest prices yet on Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen. The savings kick off with the GPS 40mm styles at $189. That includes tons of new Carbon Neutral styles at $60 off the usual $249 going rate. It’s the third-best offer to date and really the lowest price since December. The larger 44mm GPS style is also on sale today at $219. It’s $60 off the usual $279 going rate and drops to the second-best price we’ve seen at within $10 of the all-time low.
Apple Watch SE 2 arrives as a more affordable take on the company’s flagship wearables with much of the same design. Running watchOS 9, you’re looking at the ability to track everything from runs to heart rate and sleep, with a new onboard compass also supplementing the fitness journey. There’s also crash detection and more packed into the Retina Display-backed build with added water resistance for handling daily wear in the shower or tagging along on swims.
Apple’s original Leather MagSafe Wallet now $25
Woot is now discounting Apple’s original MagSafe Leather Wallet down to $25. This is down from the original $59 price tag and marks the best price in almost a year. We last saw the accessory down at $27 back over the holiday shopping season last November. Now, it’s down to near-all-time low pricing in both Saddle Brown and California Poppy.
While not the latest model with Find My integration, nor the infamous FineWoven style, this official Apple MagSafe Leather Wallet sports much of the same features otherwise for the latest iPhone owners. Compatible with the just-released iPhone 15, as well as 14, 13, and 12 series handsets, this build delivers a specially tanned and finished European leather look with built-in magnets to snap right onto the back of your device. It can hold two different IDs, bank cards, or even some cash, as well. Get a closer look in our hands-on review.
Apple’s 14-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro starts from $1,605
Best Buy currently offers Apple’s 14-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro for $1,799. This drops the 18GB memory and 512GB SSD configuration down from $1,999 to the second-best price yet. It’s the best in over a month, too. The savings get even better when you consider open-box models, which drop to $1,677 for an Open-Box Excellent model or even lower for other conditions from $1,605.
Apple is back with its latest MacBook Pros, refreshing the same physical form-factors with improved performance. You’ll find a familiar and best-in-class Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion 120Hz refresh rates and P3 wide color gamut support, but this time there’s extra brightness that climbs up to 1,600 nits. Then there’s the new M3 chip this time around, which marks the company’s first 3nm processor so far.
This is the M3 Pro model, too, which steps up from the base configuration to offer a 12-core CPU and 14-core GPU with its companion 16-core Neural Engine, all of which combines to offer Apple’s best performance yet from a mobile chip. Otherwise, there are still Thunderbolt ports, an 8K HDMI output, and an SD card slot.
B&H is now matching Walmart’s $699 13-inch M1 MacBook Air sale
B&H isn’t letting Walmart have all the fun. Walmart may have made headlines by announcing it would be carrying Apple’s M1 MacBook Air as its first-ever Mac on official store shelves with a ludicrously low $699 price tag. But now the folks over at B&H are swooping in to match that all-time low. So if you don’t want to buy from Walmart, you can go over to New York’s favorite tech and photography online storefront and grab the 13-inch M1 MacBook Air at $699. All three styles are available as a discount from the usual $999 going rate, too.
While it isn’t that all-new version of Apple’s most portable MacBook, there is still something to be said for just how good of a value the original M1 MacBook Air still is, especially with as steep of a discount attached as you’ll find. Centered around a 13-inch Retina display with Apple Silicon under the hood, there’s also a pair of Thunderbolt ports supplemented by Wi-Fi 6 as well as 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
Belkin’s 15W MagSafe 3-in-1 Stand with Apple Watch fast charging now $127
Amazon now offers the Belkin 15W 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Stand for $127. It drops from $150 for the first time in months and marks the second-best price we’ve seen this year. Today’s offer is 15% off and also the first discount we’ve seen since the newer Qi2-enabled model officially began shipping (we explore how they stack up below). This is the more recent model with Apple Watch fast charging, too. You can get a better idea of what to expect in our hands-on review.
With MagSafe at the center of the nightstand or desk upgrade, this 3-in-1 Belkin charging stand features a 15W magnetic stand perfect for topping off your new iPhone 15, as well as existing iPhone 12, 13, and 14 series devices. Off to the side is an Apple Watch charging puck that has been refreshed to support the new fast charging found on Series 7, 8, and 9 models, as well as a 5W Qi pad underneath for AirPods and the like. We just took a hands-on look at what to expect in a recent review, too.
Compared to the newer Qi2 model, Belkin’s 3-in-1 above really doesn’t have too many differences. The biggest is that it has a USB-C wall adapter instead of the proprietary cable found on the older version. Otherwise, there’s still a 15W magnetic power pad, Apple Watch fast charging, and a premium design.
