While the $50 price drop on AirPods Pro 3 is still rolling, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by some new pre-order discounts on the new Apple HomeView – Amazon now has some additional colorways marked down. We also uncovered some pre-order promotions for the new HomePod mini 2 alongside the lowest price we have tracked yet on Apple’s 1TB 2026 M5 Max Mac Studio at $220 off and Amazon’s giant ongoing $600 price drop on this M5 Pro MacBook Pro. Head below for a closer look at the details.

New Apple HomeView pre-order deals continue today with additional color options

The all-new Apple HomeView made its official debut this week and Amazon has now expanded its early pre-order discount to some additional colors. 

Apple HomeView pre-order deals

The new Apple HomeView comes in four colors: Starlight, Silver, Space Gray, and Rose Pink. Yesterday we spotted some early launch discounts on a couple of them, but Amazon is now delivering the early pre-order offer on a few others – the Starlight model has jumped back up to full price but the Silver, Space Gray, and Rose Pink are live at $289.99:

This the same price we spotted already for the Space Gray model, but we are now tracking the very first discounts on the Silver and Rose Pink variants.

Apple’s new HomePod mini 2 now available for pre-order w/ 2x rewards for Best Buy members

We are already tracking pre-order discounts on the new Apple HomeView smart display alongside pre-orders for the next-gen Apple TV 4K and Apple TV Siri Remote at $59, but there are also some offers on the new HomePod mini 2 at Best Buy as well. 

Amazon is not carrying the new HomePod mini 2, but Best Buy is and that means if you have some store credit or gift cards offers in the holster you’ll be able to lock in a deal on your new mini Apple speaker pre-order. We have featured loads of opportunities to secure some FREE Best Buy credits over the last several months and if you have any at the ready now might be the time to use them. 

That said, Best Buy is also offering double rewards with HomePod mini 2 pre-orders for its My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total members.

This offer is valid through 10/30/26 7:59 a.m. CT for both new and existing My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total  members – it works like this:

It’s certainly not a straight up cash discount or anything, but it is likely a better overall deal for members compared to pre-ordering straight from Apple, especially if you have some Best Buy gift cards laying in wait. 

Save $240 and just upgrade your existing Apple TV setup with the new Siri Remote at $59

Apple has officially unleashed the new HomeView smart display and HomePod mini 2 for pre-order, as well as the new, and particularly expensive Apple TV 4K. If you are not ready to drop $299 for the upgraded Apple TV experience, you can at least upgrade your existing setup with the all-new Apple TV Siri Remote (4th generation) for just $59. 

No, this is not technically a deal by any means – $59 is the list price on the new Siri Remote. But if history is any indication deals on this thing are going to be incredibly rare and it’s a whole lot less pricey than buying a whole new Apple TV 4K that includes this same remote. 

The new Apple TV Siri Remote (4th generation) is not only compatible with new Apple TV 4th Gen, but also the Apple TV HD and the previous-generation Apple TV 4K. 

  • Apple TV 4K (4th Generation) $299
  • Apple TV Siri Remote (4th Generation) $59

Apple’s 1TB 2026 M5 Max Mac Studio hits all-time low at $220 off today

Joining the early discounts we are now tracking on Apple’s new HomeView smart display and the hangover M6 Mac mini all-time lows at up to $150 off, we also spotted a chance to save up to $220 on the brand new M5 Max Mac Studio today. 

Amazon is still offering the base model with 36GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD at $2,299 shipped – that’s $200 off and the lowest price Amazon has ever offered it for. 

However, that is the only configuration Amazon carries officially and B&H – one of our favorite authorized Apple dealers – is now offering $220 off the upgraded 1TB model:

B&H now has the 2026 M5 Max Mac Studio with 36GB of RAM and the 1TB SSD down at $2,579 shipped. This is a regularly $2,799 configuration on the Apple site now at $220 off the list price. 

Amazon’s giant $600 price drop on this M5 Pro MacBook Pro awaits

The all-new HomeView smart display with pre-order discounts is here, alongside the next-gen Apple TV 4K and Apple TV Siri Remote at $59, but don’t forget about the gigantic price drops Amazon is delivering on MacBook this week. There are a couple particularly notable offers live right now, but the best of them has to be this 14-inch M5 Pro model at a giant $600 off the list price. 

Amazon is currently offering the 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 2TB storage capacity down at $2,399 shipped. 

That’s certainly still no small investment, but we are looking at a regularly $2,999 machine here with a more than impressive $600 discount right now – this is easily one of the best deals ever and one of the best MacBook deals of the year. 

As has been the case over the last few months, one of the things that truly determines just how notable a price drop is on gear subject to RAMageddon is how the deal price compares to the pre-price hike offers, and this one is quite favorable. 

Sony’s XM6 ANC headphones hit one of the best prices ever at $328 (Today only, $130 off)

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

Score Apple’s 2026 Magic Keyboard for your new Mac mini setup at the Amazon all-time low

Alongside pre-orders for the new HomeView smart display, HomePod mini 2, and Apple TV 4K, this month ushered in all-time low pricing on the 2026 Magic Keyboard you might need for your new M6 Mac mini. And it is still down at the Prime Day all-time low. 

Considering how rare deals can be at times on Apple’s official Magic accessories, we wanted to highlight this deal on the new all-glyph model once again while it is still live. 

Regularly $99, you can pick one up over at Amazon down at $79.99 shipped right now. That might not seem like a notable discount, but when it comes to Magic Apple accessories, especially this soon after release, it is. 

Official Apple iPhone 18 Pro cases now up to 25% off, all-time lows from $37

The new HomeView smart display, next-generation Apple TV 4K, and HomePod mini 2 are now available for pre-order, but we are also tracking all-time low pricing across the latest Apple iPhone 18 Pro case lineup. Select models, like the new Olive 18 Pro Silicone case have now dropped again to a new Amazon all-time low at 25% off, and you’ll find loads more with deals below. 

While most colors and models are still at the Prime Day lows we featured last week, the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Silicone Case with MagSafe in the new Olive colorway has now dropped even lower to $36.75 shipped. That’s 25% off the regular $49 list price and the lowest price we have tracked to date. 

You’ll find the rest of the models carrying discounts right now broken down into categories below:

Apple iPhone 18 Pro Silicone Cases

Apple iPhone 18 Pro TechWoven Cases

Apple iPhone 18 Pro Clear Cases

Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max Silicone Cases

Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max TechWoven Cases

Bring tracking capabilities to your HomeView setup while AirTag 2 is at the Amazon low

Apple unleashed its new HomeView smart home display today, bringing together all of your compatible smart home gear and Apple products into one centralized hub. It happens to integrate nicely with AirTag 2 for tracking down personal items and you can still score one of those at the Amazon all-time low. 

Amazon is still offering Apple’s latest AirTag 2 down at $24 Prime shipped. Just shy of 20% off, this is on par with the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon for a single AirTag 2. 

While this deal has been live for a while, we wanted to make sure it was on your radar now that HomeView has arrived. AirTag 2, of course, works just fine without HomeView, but it also expands the capabilities of Apple’s new home hub, allowing users to simply ask HomeView to ping your misplaced keys or bag as your rushing out of the door, for example.  

The 4-pack of Apple’s latest AirTag 2 is also marked down to $89 shipped right now for the lowest possible price per Tag at $22.25, but we have seen it down at closer to $80 a few times over the last month or so. 

You can still score Apple’s mid-range M6 Mac mini at nearly $150 off if you’re quick

While AirPods Pro 3 are now at $50 off, AirPods Max 2 are still at the Prime Day price with $120 in savings and this mid-range 512GB M6 Mac mini is the last of Apple’s brand new machines still at the nearly $150 off mark. 

Amazon is still offering Apple’s brand new M6 Mac mini with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $949.99 shipped. 

This is a regularly $1,099 machine sitting at $149 off to land within $1 of the lowest price we have tracked to date online. 

It dropped to $150 off for fall Prime Day, which was the very first particularly notable discount. And while many of the configs have started to jump up in price now, this one is still very close to the lowest price we have tracked to date and among the most notable Apple Prime Day deals we tracked for this year’s fall sale event.
