Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is carrying over the return low on AirPods Pro 3 while also highlighting the return of AirPods 4 with ANC live again at $99. From there, we also spotted the 512GB M4 Mac mini back down at the Black Friday price this morning at nearly $130 off to join the base model at $479. A rare deal hit Apple’s 2025 Sport Loop today to deliver a new $34 all-time low while just about all black and natural Apple Watch Ultra 2 models are now $250 off. All of that, a rare deal on Magic Mouse (USB-C), and the ongoing all-time lows on Apple Watch Series 11 from $299 await below. 

AirPods 4 with ANC back down at nearly 45% off, or land them with AppleCare+ at $119

AirPods Pro 3 drop again this morning, now back down to Black Friday Amazon all-time low

Amazon drops mid-range 16GB/512GB M4 Mac mini back to one of its best prices at nearly $130 off, more from $479

One of the better deals on current-gen Macs for Black Friday this year was the base model M4 Mac mini at $479 – some serious bang for your buck there. That deal is now live again at Amazon right here, but this morning it also decided to bring back the November pricing on the elevated model with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD as well – it is now $129 off the list price.

Amazon is now offering the M4 Mac mini with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $669.99 shipped. This is a regularly $799 configuration landing within $1 of the lowest price we have ever tracked at Amazon. The only time we have seen this one down at $669 or $670 via Amazon was last month for the Black Friday festivities. 

As detailed in the list above, here are several Mac mini configurations on sale right now. The two options at Amazon detailed above are indeed the most affordable of the bunch and perhaps the most popular propositions for prospective new Mac mini owners. The rest of them come courtesy of B&H for folks looking towards a far more powerful and upgraded solution, from the 1TB storage option on the M4 through to some heavily upgraded M4 Pro models at as much as $200 off the list price.

 

Official 2025 Anchor Blue Apple Watch Sport Loop just dropped to $34 (30% off, all-time low)

We have recently featured a series of the first discounts on Apple’s more premium 2025 Ultra bands. But this morning we are featuring the first discount and a subsequent all-time low on its latest 2025 dark Anchor Blue Sport Loop – this one size fits most band is a far less pricey proposition at $34 and is now over 30% off the list price.

Amazon is now offering the 2025 Apple Watch Sport Loop for 46mm Apple Watch models in Anchor Blue down at $34 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35.

As of the time of writing, Amazon says it “arrives 15 days before Christmas.”

You’re looking at a regularly $49 official Apple Watch band made for all 46mm Series models at 31% off the list price. This is the first notable deal on this model since release in September, and the best price we can find anywhere.

Deals on Apple’s Sport Loops and generally quite rare, and even more so this soon after release. All things considered, catching any official Apple Watch band at over 30% off within the first year of launch (or ever) is very notable.

This is the Anchor Blue Sport Loop model made from a “soft, breathable and lightweight” double-layer nylon weave with “dense loops on the skin side that provide soft cushioning while allowing moisture to escape.” It is made from 82% recycled yarn, 45% recycled content by weight, and “100% of manufacturing electricity is covered by clean energy.”

 

Apple Watch Ultra 2 models are $250 off ahead of the holidays in brand new condition (Black and Natural)

Yesterday we featured a notable $250 price drop on the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 over at Best Buy – that deal is still live and now Amazon is offering a bunch of Natural configs at the same price. You’ll find a sizable collection of Natural Titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 models at over 30% off at Amazon as of this morning.

All of the details on the black models at $250 off await right here, but for folks on team Natural (the best team), Amazon is stepping up with solid $250 price drops of is own on several configs, including various Ocean, Alpine, and Trail Loop setups. 

Amazon is now offering Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the Natural Titanium finish down at $549 shipped. Originally carrying the same $799 list price the new Ultra 3 comes along with, this is $250 off and easily one of the best selections of models we have ever seen with a price drop this notable. 

You’ll want to poke around on the listing page to lock down the band you want and in the correct size, but you can catch a glimpse of all the discounted models in one shot via this special landing page. 

As a quick reminder, Apple Watch Series 11 hit new all-time lows yesterday starting from $299, and you’ll want to get in there as soon as possible if you’re looking to land a delivery date ahead of the holidays this year:

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

Most affordable M5 iPad Pro models now $100 off at Amazon, more up to $169 off

The Apple deals are flying to start off the week, and alongside price drops on AirPods Pro 3 and the new all-time lows on Apple Watch Series 11 at $100 off, we also have some notable iPad offers. We have rounded up the more affordable of the bunch for you right here, but today is also bringing back the $100 price drops on Apple’s new M5 iPad Pro as well.

While we are still tracking giant discounts on the now previous-generation M4 iPad Pro, including this $450 price drop on the 512GB modeland even even deeper deal on on this 1TB M4 iPad Pro at $599 off, those looking towards the new M5 machine will find the latest deals listed below:

M5 iPad Pro 11-inch:

M5 iPad Pro 13-inch:

The deals are clearly (and naturally) not as deep as we have on select M4 models, but thus far this is about as good as we have seen on the more affordable end of the latest M5 lineup. Price drops landing today on the M3 iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad 11 await right here.

All M5 MacBook Pro configs are $250 off again at Amazon today

This morning is ushering in a range of particularly notable deals on Apple gear, including the return of Black Friday pricing on AirPods Pro 3 and the best deals yet across the Apple Watch Series 11 lineup. While the M4 MacBook Air lineup hasn’t completely dropped back to its all-time lows, the new M5 MacBook Pro lineup is returning to form this morning at $250 off. 

Amazon is now offering $250 off all three M5 MacBook Pro configurations it offers as of this morning:

While the two more affordable variants have largely been sitting down at this price since last week – the same deals we tracked for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the higher-end 24GB model with 1TB of storage was completed sold out until it dropped back down to $1,749 today. 

All three of these configs Amazon carries are now back down at the lowest prices we have tracked. But we do want to direct your attention to the 24GB/512GB model listed above as well – while it’s only $200 off, compared to the $250 off you see on the Amazon configs, it is also the lowest-priced 24GGB model we can find only line from a reputable dealer right now and one you can’t buy at Amazon at all. 

M3 iPad Air models now start from $450 via Amazon ($149 off)
