Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is ready to roll down below. Alongside the ongoing price drops on M4 Mac mini at up to $110 off, we are starting off with some solid deals on the M3 MacBook Air for folks looking to save a ton – you’ll find a couple configurations at as much as $500 less than the comparable M4 variants right now. We also have a host of official Apple Watch Ultra and Series bands at up to 30% off starting from $31, this Milanese model at a new all-time low, and some details on the Best Buy Prep for Playoffs Super Bowl sale. Head below for a closer look.
These M3 MacBook Air models are now up to $500 less than the M4 ($800 under orig. price)
With M4 Air prices now back up closer to full price than they have been in months, folks looking to land a deal on MacBook that don’t need the latest and greatest might want to scope out these M3 deals. They are now as much as $800 off their own original prices and $400 less than the comparable M4 models.
These deals come courtesy of trusted and fully authorized Apple dealer, Expercom. The retailer is a well known entity in the official third-party Apple dealer space and it is currently offering some notable prices on M3 MacBook Air units in brand new condition with Amazon fulfillment:
- 15-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB Midnight $999 (Orig. $1,699, Reg. $1,499)
- 15-inch M3 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB Starlight $1,099 (Orig. $1,899, Reg. $1,699)
Now these are clearly not the latest-generation M4 machines, but they are still more than capable and a perhaps even more compelling option for folks looking to save more than a few bucks.
Here’s a quick reminder on the historical pricing history for the 2024 M3 MacBook Air models:
- 15-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB originally $1,699
- 15-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB regularly $1,499 after RAM bump
- 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB regularly $1,399 after $100 official price decrease
By comparison to the latest M4 models, the 16GB/512GB configuration is now $400 less than the comparable M4 variant with today’s deals – that’s a ton of money.
I certainly wouldn’t blame anyone for holding off for a deep deal on the M4, but it might be a long while before we see anything this dramatic. As of right now, the best straight up cash deals we have seen across the lineup had them at $250 off – this put the 16GB/512GB config at $1,149.

STILL LIVE: 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.
