Deals: M5 iPad Pro $150 off, M4 Pro Mac mini $150 off, Trail Loops, and more

Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is kicking off with another chance to land AirPods Pro 3 back down at holiday pricing (although they are going in and out of stock at this point). As far as today’s more stable discounts, we have nearly $150 off the most affordable 13-inch M5 iPad Pro models as well as a solid $150 in savings on the M4 Pro Mac mini. From there, we have added additional price drops on official Apple Watch bands, including this green Trail Loop, this Anker5-port travel adapter at $20, and more. 

Apple AirPods Pro 3 back down to $199 holiday pricing for today only

Update: Sold out.

Okay folks, we are getting another shot at holiday pricing on AirPods Pro 3. For today only, ushered in as part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy and Amazon are now offering Apple’s latest AirPods Pro 3 down at $199.99 shipped – Amazon will more than likely has now price matched here.

Regularly $249, Best Buy is now offering AirPods Pro 3 down at $199.99 shipped. You’re looking at nearly $50 off the list and the best we can find online right now in brand new condition. 

At the time of writing, Amazon’s listing has gone back up at $240, but chances are it will drop them down to $199.99 or $199 again at any time now. It has price matched Best Buy every single time there has been a price drop on AirPods Pro 3 since launch. 

Today’s deal lands within $1 of the Black Friday and holiday all-time lows from last year, so if you missed out you’re getting another shot at it here again. 

We have seen some open-box offers – some from less than desirable sellers – for about $10 less than this lately, but nothing worth it when you can score them brand new for $10 more if you ask me. Outside of some YMMV and limited in-store offers, today’s deal is literally within $1 of the best opportunity to score these highly sought-after flagship Apple buds. 

They dropped to $220 for Black Friday proper last year, but then fell again to $199 a few times in the lead up to Christmas 2025. 


AirPods Pro 3 review: The best get even better


Apple’s most affordable M4 Pro Mac mini is $150 off the list price right now

Some of the best Mac deals of 2026 have come in tiny packages – Apple’s latest M4 Mac mini. You’ll still find the base model at $100 off via Amazon – the best price around outside of some limited in-store only offers – and upgraded variants at $110 off. But if you’re looking for a more powerful desktop machine without spending anywhere close to Mac Studio money, this B&H deal on the M4 Pro Mac mini at $150 off is worth a look.

B&H is currently offering the Mac mini equipped with the more powerful M4 Pro chip down at $1,249 shipped (it will drop an additional $20 in the cart during checkout). 

This is the base M4 Pro model that comes packed with 24GB of RAM and a 512GB internal SSD – it carries a $1,399 list price at Apple. 

Over the last few weeks we have been tracking this particular model down at $1,269 on Amazon, but B&H has that offer beat out with the extra $20 off you’ll see at checkout. 

While we did see the M4 Pro model fall lower than this during the Black Friday deal season last year, those offers were mostly hard to come by. If you were ready to pull the trigger when we featured those deals you could have landed one at closer to $1,199, but all things considered deals much better than we have here today are quite rare on the M4 Pro machine – we have seen that roughly a handful of times since release, and sometimes only for a few hours.

Apple’s most affordable 13-inch M5 iPad Pro hits some of the best prices yet, now nearly $150 off

While we did catch some notable price drops on Apple’s latest M5-powered iPad Pro lineup over Black Friday and the holidays last year, many of the deepest offers landed on the (more) niche high-end configurations. Today, however, Amazon is serving up some of its best prices ever on the most affordable 13-inch models at nearly $150 off.

Amazon is now offering the 13-inch M5 iPad Pro with the 256GB storage capacity down at $1,149.99 shipped in Space Black. 

The 512GB model with double the capacity is now down at $1,349.99 shipped in both the Silver and Space Black treatments.

Regularly $1,299 and $1,499, respectively, you’re looking at nearly $150 off on both configurations to deliver the lowest prices we can find and Amazon all-time lows on just about everything – all models are at the lowest we have tracked, outside of the Space Black 256GB that was $1 less than this once before today.

Just for comparison’s sake, Best Buy is currently charging full price on the most affordable 13-inch configurations featured above.

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

Apple’s official Natural Milanese Loop just hit a new Amazon all-time low at nearly 25% off

Rare deal knocks Apple’s official iPhone Air MagSafe Battery to its best Amazon price yet

Today, Amazon is offering its first notable price drop on the official Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery. The first-party charger made specifically for iPhone Air has now hit a new Amazon all-time low at $79 shipped

Regularly $99, Amazon is now offering Apple’s iPhone Air MagSafe Battery for $79 shipped. That’s 20% off the list price and the best price we have ever tracked at Amazon in brand new condition.

Beyond some very limited offers for select Verizon users, some in-store options at Walmart, and the Used: Like New deal we featured closer to Black Friday last year, this is the lowest price we have tracked. It is, in fact, the best deal we have seen that anyone can take advantage of. 

Apple says its new power bank was “created exclusively for iPhone Air” with a design ready to slip inside your pocket and “feel great in your hand.” It adds up to 65% additional charge to iPhone Air “for all-day use.” The combined system will apparently choose the best possible times to recharge, or you can just snap it on when you need a quick blast of juice “for up to 12W of fast wireless charging on the go.”

It is designed to fit the iPhone Air perfectly from edge to edge, and from the bottom right up to the camera plateau. It is 6.5mm thick (0.25-inches), which is actually quite thin by comparison to most relatively comparable options out there – it is larger in terms of height and width than something like the Anker Nano Power Bank, but it is thinner.

Made of a soft plastic with a rubbery cushioned back, it is a super clean, button-free power bank with nothing more than a subtle Apple logo and a single LED indicator.

You can also get a look at the remaining battery power on the Apple MagSafe Battery via the iOS Battery Widget on your iPhone Air.

Now for some, alternatives like the Anker Nano Power Bank and the other models we have suggested right here are, in some ways, even more compact and affordable options. But if you’re after the first-party treatment, Apple’s model is seeing a very rare price drop at Amazon today.
