Apple Watch Series 11 is still at its best price ever, the M4 Mac mini is at a wonderfully low $479 right now, and the 2025 iPad Air Magic Keyboard hit the Amazon low this morning. But none of that matters all that much because Amazon has dropped AirPods Pro 3 to the lowest price ever. You’ll now find the world’s greatest earbuds undercutting the Black Friday all-time low at $199 shipped! Stock has been coming and going, but Amazon keeps bringing back the deal so get in there while you can.
Hello! AirPods Pro 3 just hit the best price ever at $199 shipped
Update: This deal is going in and out of stock, but remain vigilant, it has come back for purchase several times already.
- AirPods Pro 3 at $199 (Reg. $249) – best price ever
Hello! Just when you thought the previous $220 low on AirPods Pro 3 was going to be it ahead of the holidays this year, Amazon has decided to get particularly aggressive with Apple’s latest and greatest – it is now offering AirPods Pro 3 at $199 shipped.
Most affordable M4 Mac mini still down at the $479 Black Friday price w/ holiday delivery via Amazon
Alongside the ongoing all-time low on AirPods Pro 3 and the new all-time low on Apple Watch Series 11 at $100 off, one of the better price drops on Apple gear we spotted for Black Friday this year was the base model M4 Mac mini at $479 – this deal is live once again and still shipping in time for the holidays too.
The base model Mac mini carries a $599 list price, which, if you ask me, is already a seriously great value. But Amazon is now offering it down at $479 shipped – one of the best prices ever.
While we have caught a number of opportunities to land this one at $499 this year, it does not often go for any less than that. In fact, the Black Friday deal that went live on November 20 and the return holiday offer we are once again featuring here today are the only times we have ever seen the base model down this low outside of a once time offer back in mid-June down at $469 for few days.
This is a seriously notable deal and one that might not be around for much longer.
The model we are talking about here might only have a 256GB SSD inside, but it does land with 16GB of RAM and that’s really where the value is for me – you can always supplement the storage situation with an external SSD instead of paying $191 more for the 512GB model.
That said, the 16GB/512GB model at$669.99 is within $1 of this year’s Black Friday price, among the very best discounts we have ever tracked, and a worthwhile consideration on a regularly $799 machine for folks who truly value the boosted internal storage action.
- M4 Mac mini 16GB/256GB $479 (Reg. $599)
- M4 Mac mini 16GB/512GB $670 (Reg. $799)
- M4 Mac mini 24GB/256GB $679 (Reg. $799)
- M4 Mac mini 16GB/1TB $899 (Reg. $999)
- M4 Pro Mac mini 24GB/512GB $1,299 (Reg. $1,399)
- M4 Pro Mac mini 48GB/1TB $1,799 (Reg. $1,999)
M3 iPad Air models now back at Black Friday pricing from $450 via Amazon ($149 off)
Apple’s 2025 iPad Air Magic Keyboard hits Amazon low, or open-box models up to $90 off
Alongside the return of Black Friday pricing across select M3 iPad Air models, this morning we are tracking a relatively rare deal on Apple’s compatible 2025 Magic Keyboard. Amazon is now offering the latest white 11-inch iPad Air Magic Keyboard down at$229.99 shipped – this is the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon.
While the new black variant that Apple unleashed a couple months ago is still up at full price, the regularly $269 white variant has now hit a new $229.99 shipped Amazon all-time low. The 13-inch model is also on sale, but with a much lighter $20 price drop.
This Magic Keyboard case that first landed back in March is compatible with M2 and M3 iPad Air models, as well as iPad Air (4th and 5th Generation).
Another option here is the “excellent” condition Best Buy open box listings. Shipping with a full 1-year Apple warranty, you can land both eh 11- and 13-inch white models down at the lowest prices we can find from a trustworthy source, both of which undercutting the new deals at Amazon – the 11-inch is, perhaps, not low enough to choose the open-box over the brand new listing, but the 13-inch at $91 certainly might be:
- 11-inch iPad Air Magic Keyboard $215 (Reg. $269 new)
- 13-inch iPad Air Magic Keyboard $228 (Reg. $319 new)
Here’s some additional details on Best Buy’s open-box “excellent” listings:
- Geek Squad Verified
- Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings.
- Includes all parts and accessories. Packaging may vary or be absent.
- 1-year Apple warranty
You can still get a current-gen iPad under the tree for $279, but perhaps not for long
We are approaching that time of year when there are both great deals live on Apple gear and offers quickly disappearing, moving into delivery times beyond Christmas or just entirely selling out. We detailed this situation on the Apple Watch Series 11 at its best price ever yesterday, but we also wanted to touch base regarding iPad 11 – Apple’s most affordable current-generation iPad is quickly selling out entirely at Amazon and the window to grab one at $279 is starting to close.
Best Buy launched a notable Apple sale this week and it remains one of the only major retailers still offering folks a chance to get a current-generation iPad under the tree for $279.
- iPad (A16) 128GB $279 (Reg. $349)
- iPad (A16) 256GB $379 (Reg. $349)
- iPad (A16) 512GB $579 (Reg. $349)
We did see the 11-inch iPad (A16) drop few bucks lower than this for Black Friday, before very quickly diving down to $272 or so, but the $279 deal price (really anything under $280) only pops up during major holiday sales like this and now’s your chance to scoop one up.
It’s clearly no iPad Pro or iPad Air, it’s not even as powerful as an iPad mini, but it is a great family tablet, something you can quickly grab and go from some browsing or video chats with friends and the fam, and something that will not break the bank. At a price like this, it is approaching the list prices on the most affordable entry-level Android tablets out there while providing a modern Apple iPad experience that is more than capable enough for casual use.
Delivery on the best Apple deal of the holidays is starting to slip beyond Christmas – Apple Watch Series 11 at $100 off
The Apple Black Friday deals were no joke this year, and you can even still score the AirPods Pro 3 deal right now with holiday delivery, not to mention the return of holiday pricing on Mac mini from $479. But there’s one Apple deal live right now that undercuts the Black Friday, and considerably so – Apple Watch Series 11 at $100 off. While that’s not, on its face, a whole lot less than they were at the end of November, any prime-time, brand new Apple release selling for less right now than it was for Black Friday is a big deal. Let’s just hope you can land one before shipping slips beyond the holidays.
Apple’s brand new Series 11 wearables dropped this past September alongside Apple Watch Ultra 3. While we weren’t expecting some bananas price drop for Black Friday considering it was just a couple months after they first hit store shelves, we were very much targeting a $70 price drop for Black Friday and Cyber Monday back in October, and that’s indeed exactly what we got.
However, unlike every other current-gen iPad, MacBook, set of AirPods, and iPhone purse strap, the Apple Watch Series 11 dropped even lower than it was for Black Friday this week at $100 off the list price – just as we told you they would at the tail end of last week.
And again, while that might only be $30 less than Black Friday, a current-generation Apple product that just released, never mind one as popular as Apple’s most affordable Series wearable, landing at anything lower than Black Friday, right after Black Friday, is a thing.
- 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 from $299 (Reg. $399)
- 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 $329 (Reg. $429)
- 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 Cell $399 (Reg. $499)
- 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 Cell $429 (Reg. $529)
- 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 Titanium Cell $599 (Reg. $699)
- 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 Titanium Cell $649 (Reg. $749)
While we are, admittedly, getting a bit of a preemptive jump on this, it is only a matter of time before shipping starts to slip beyond Christmas on the best price ever for Apple Watch Series 11. And there’s really no sense in warning folks about it after it has already happened.
We are already starting to see select models and case colors jumping back and forth between delivery in-time and very much not in time for Christmas at Amazon, so you had better get in there as soon as possible if you’re looking to get one under the tree this year.
The chances of Series 11 dropping any lower than $100 beforehand is extremely low, like almost impossible, and certainly not in every case color, size, and config.
