Just when you thought the Apple deals were about to start ramping down ahead of the holidays, Amazon has announced a Super Saturday sale event for this weekend and today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break features AirPods Pro 3 back down at the $199 low with holiday delivery. That offer joins the M4 MacBook Air back at $250 off and the most affordable 24GB M5 MacBook Pro at $250 off, but we also spotted a new all-time low on the most affordable M3 iPad Air models at $200 off, and the 2025 black Apple Trail Loop at its best price to date too. Head below for a closer look, AirTag price drops, smart home gear, chargers, and more. 

AirPods Pro 3 just dropped back to the $199 Amazon all-time low with delivery before Christmas

It’s back folks – Amazon is once again delivering AirPods Pro 3 back down at the lowest price it has offered them for. After dropping to $220 for Black Friday, Amazon is now giving folks another shot at landing Apple’s latest and greatest personal listening experience down at $199 shipped with delivery before Christmas in most locations.

Amazon is now offering Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 down at $199 shipped. Carrying the same $249 list price as the previous generation model, you’re looking at $50 in savings and a return to the Amazon all-time low. 

As mentioned above, outside of some very light early price drops shortly after release, AirPods Pro 3 saw their first notable discount for Black Friday this year. That $30 price drop was arguably pretty slight as well, but we did see them drop to $199 shortly thereafter to deliver a new Amazon all-time low and we are once again getting another shot at that offer again here today. 

Amazon’s listing on the new AirPods started to slip beyond Christmas delivery in many cities across the country over the last week, but as of this morning it appears to have found a whole bunch more of them. At the time of writing, and with only one week remaining before the big day, Amazon is once again ready to ship AirPods Pro at $199 to most locations ahead of Christmas (just be sure to double check your location during the checkout process).

AirPods 4 and AirPods with ANC were a hot ticket item this year for Black Friday, especially considering the wildly low $69 and $99 price tags we saw (the base set is now live at just $74). But for those looking towards Apple’s latest flagship personal listening experience, the deal we have right now is where it’s at. There have been some price mistake and YMMV deals allowing folks to score them for a touch less than this, but those offers have largely been targeted or extremely limited, leaving the $199 deal the best and most accessible option that just about anyone can take advantage of.

MacBook Pro deals: 24GB M5 $250 off, M4 $350 off, M4 Max $400 off, more

Alongside the return of $250 price drops across the M4 MacBook Airlineup, there are also some notable deals still live and shipping for the holidays on MacBook Pro models. While the delivery time might not matter all that much on a MacBook Pro (unless you have a very lucky someone on your list this year), there are either way some solid offers live right now, including $250 off the new M5 models, this M4 variant with 24GB of RAM at $350 off via Amazon, and up to $400 off M4 Max models.

As we detailed yesterday, Amazon has now brought back some of the $250 price drops on Apple’s new M5 MacBook Pro after going completely out of stock or jumping up much higher in price after the Black Friday bonanza. 

Before we get into the M4 models we spotted on sale, let’s quickly rundown the prices on the newer M5 model for reference – make sure you spot the 24GB/512GB B&H deal in the list below (this is the lowest price around on a 24GB model and a config Amazon does not sell):

Now, it might be hard (or impossible) for some folks to side-step the brand new model in favor of the M4, but it is still a solid machine and one that will remain more than powerful enough for plenty of folks for years. 

This is why we wanted to just make sure the special pricing on the upgraded 24GB/1TB model we spotted in Space Black was on your radar – the regular $1,999 configuration is now siting down at $1,649 shipped on Amazon to deliver $350 in savings. This is the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon for this configuration and one that lands $150 under the current deal price on the comparable M5.

And if you are looking to save a ton on an M4 machine right now, be sure to scope out the M4 Pro and M4 Max deals at Best Buy right now – they are up to $400 off right now.

Heads up! Target has Apple’s M3 iPad Air at the best price of the season, most affordable models now $200 off

This deal is almost certainly not going to last for long so get in there while you can. Target is undercutting everyone’s Black Friday deal on the M3 iPad Air right now – you can land the most affordable models at $200 off, including both the 11- and 13-inch form factors.

Apple’s M3 iPad Air lineup, especially the more affordable Wi-Fi-only configs, almost never sell for better than $150 off – this is the deal we tracked at all major retailers for Black Friday this year.

Over at Target, however, you will find the 128GB 11-inch model siting down at $399.99 shipped. That’s $199 off the regular $599 configuration and the best deal we have tracked for the season on this config.

As of the time of writing, the upgraded 256GB model is also at $199 off down at $499.99 shipped. 

The 13-inch models are starting to sell out, or are at least only available for in-store pickup on some colors and configs, but you will also find the most affordable models at $200 off the list prices.

Get in there while you can as these deals might very well be gone before the day is up, despite Target specifically stating they will be live through Saturday.

As of right now Amazon is not price matching – we will keep an eye out.

Apple’s 256GB and 512GB Wi-Fi + Cell M4 iPad Pro models are up to $699 off at Costco

We just spotted a new Amazon all-time low on Apple’s most affordable 13-inch M4 iPad Pro with the Wi-Fi + Cell setup. Anyone can score one at over $300 off at Amazon today, but Costco has the 256GB model and the 512GB for a whole lot less than that – you score them at up to $599 off the list prices right now. 

Amazon is now offering the 256GB M4 iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cell model at $1,189.97 shipped. This is an originally $1,499 configuration (before being replaced by the M5 model) that is now $309 off and at a new Amazon low.

That said, Costco is still offering this same configuration down at a much lower $899.99 shipped right now. That’s a massive $599 off the original list price and the best we can find by a long shot in brand new condition. On top of that, it is also still offering the 512GB Wi-Fi + Cell model at $999.99 shipped – that’s a whopping $699 off the list price.

Clearly Costco is clearing out the now previous-generation M4 machines with some giant discounts right now, both of which appear to be shipping free across the country at this point. While non paid Costco members will get hit with a $45 surcharge, even with it you’re looking at some seriously wild prices here.
