Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by the most affordable 15-inch Midnight M5 MacBook Air hitting an all-time low at $170 off (undercuts the Amazon deal), but today might also be your last chance to score these 24GB M5 MacBook Air configs at $220 off. Amazon has Apple Watch Series 11 up to $160 off with delivery tomorrow and deals from $299, and, if you’re fast, we are getting another shot at the official Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery at nearly 40% off. These deals join ongoing offers on AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 4, and AirPods Max 2, but everything is waiting down below.

This week’s AirPods 4, Pro 3, and Max 2 deals are still shipping in time for Mother’s Day

Most affordable 15-inch Midnight M5 MacBook Air hits all-time low at $170 off (Undercuts Amazon deal)

Amazon still has a lock on the best prices for the least expensive M5 MacBook Air models with the 13-inch display, but we wanted to highlight this B&H deal on the entry 15-incher – it is now undercutting the Amazon low by $20 for total of $170 off the list price. 

At the time of writing, Amazon is offering the base model 16GB/512GB 15-inch M5 MacBook Air down at  $1,149 shipped, or $150 off the list in all four color options. 

If you are into the Midnight model, however, you can land it at $170 off courtesy of the trusted authorized Apple dealers at B&H. 

This bonus deal is only live on the Midnight colorway, but you will find the base 16GB/512GB 15-inch model down at$1,129 shipped right now – it is listed at the same $1,149 you’ll find at Amazon, but there is a limited-time bonus $20 coupon that will be applied during checkout. This is the lowest price we have tracked online for this machine since release. 

This deal also joins a trio of 15-inch deals at B&H you’ll definitely want to scope out if you’re looking towards a config with 24GB of RAM – they are all better prices than Amazon, or offering configs you can’t buy there:

  • 15-inch M5 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB $1,499 (Reg. $1,719) | Ends May 9
  • With 70W USB-C Power Adapter upgrade included ($20 value)
  • 15-inch M5 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB $1,499 (Reg. $1,719)  | Ends May 9
  • With 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter upgrade included ($20 value)
  • 15-inch M5 MacBook Air 24GB/512TB $1,299 (Reg. $1,519)  | Ends May 10
  • With 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter upgrade included ($20 value)

Here are the deal prices across the lineup at Amazon:

Today might be your last chance to score these 24GB M5 MacBook Air configs at $220 off

Now live again: Official Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery just dropped back to all-time low at nearly 40% off

Update: The price keeps jumping up and down from the $60 low and up to $90.

Amazon has just dropped the official Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery back down to its best price to date. We saw this deal come and go very quickly a couple days ago, but it is now back. 

Amazon is now once again offering the Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery down at $59.99 shipped. If this offer is anything like last go around, it might not be around for very long. 

You’re looking at the official iPhone Air MagSafe Battery Apple launched in September alongside its new ultra-thin iPhone. It carries a regularly list at $99 and is now very close to 40% off the sticker price. This deal is matching the offer we featured a couple days ago, but that deal quickly jumped back up in price. After spending just about all of yesterday up at $90, it has now fallen back down to the lowest price we have tracked at Amazon for the second time. 

We did see a good run down at $79 via Amazon earlier in the year, alongside a couple YMMV deals and a very limited offer at the Verizon Store in and around this price, but you’re otherwise getting a chance to land this first-party charging solution at the best price yet. 

There are smaller and more affordable MagSafe power banks out there, but I would argue that many of the most elegant options are close to the deal price we have here today anyway – like this Anker Nano Power Bank at $55. Some of the third-party options do, however, carry more battery capacity and there are some color options when looking outside of the Apple lineup, but I still think the official model is the most elegant option. It is one of the thinnest out there, delivers up to 65% additional charge, features iOS Battery Widget support, and fits along the back of iPhone Air perfectly. 

Amazon has Apple Watch Series 11 up to $160 off with delivery tomorrow, deals from $299

Whether you’re looking to land Mom a super sweet gift for the big day this weekend, or just refresh your Apple wrist game, Amazon is still shipping the Apple Watch Series 11 all-time lows by tomorrow on just about all configurations. The deals start from $299 and you’ll find all of the best options waiting below. 

As far as the standard and most popular aluminum options go, the base 42mm and 46mm models are still sitting down at $299 and $329, respectively, to deliver a solid $100 in savings on the regular prices:

Just be sure to take note of the 46mm GPS + Cell model above at $399 – this is arguably the very best Apple Watch Series 11 deal we have tracked to date, delivering $130 in savings on the most affordable always-connected 46mm variant you can buy. 

Those of you who are looking to take the leap up into the more pricey GPS + Cell Titanium models, we are also still tracking Amazon all-time low prices on several configurations with as much as $160 off the list prices right now across both case sizes and with varying band choices. 

  • 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 Titanium $609 (Reg. $749) – new all-time low
  • Natural, Slate, or Gold
  • 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 Slate Titanium $589 (Reg. $699) 
  • With Black Sport Band
  • 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 Natural Titanium $609 (Reg. $749) – new all-time low
  • With Natural Milanese Loop
  • 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 Titanium $639 (Reg. $799) – new all-time low
  • Natural, Slate, or Gold
  • With Natural Milanese Loop

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

Apple’s most accessible M5 Pro MacBook Pro sitting at all-time low pricing today ($250 off)

The authorized Apple dealers at B&H are landing this week with some particularly compelling deals on the 15-inch M5 MacBook Air at up to $220 off. And while Amazon is undercutting B&H on much of the new 2026 M5 Pro MacBook Pro models now, it still hasn’t beat out the straight $250 discount on the most affordable 14-inch M5 Pro machine you can buy. 

As of right now, Amazon is charging just shy of $1,984 for the base 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 1TB internal SSD. 

However, over at B&H this same machine in Space Black will drop down to $1,949 in the cart. Regularly $2,199, that’s a straight up $250 price drop on the most accessible M5 Pro MacBook Pro Apple makes. 

For comparison sake, this model, if course, landed on Amazon back in early March at the full $2,199 list price before dipping to $2,049 for the first half of April, and ultimately down to the $1,984 we are seeing right now – it has never sold this machine for any less than that. 

It is not uncommon to see some of the smaller authorized dealers offer lower prices than Amazon on the heavily upgraded MacBooks, or just offer configurations Amazon does not. But it is far less commonplace to see them serving up lower prices on the most accessible configurations in each product line like we are seeing here today. It is also worth mentioning that, if history is any indication, we do not expect to see this machine at any better than $250 off via Amazon this year, and if we do it is not likely before a major Prime or Black Friday event.

Score Mom a new current-gen iPad this year at $299 (All colors)

My Mom is totally happy with some flowers, maybe a cheap bottle of wine, and a visit, but if you’re looking to treat yours this year, or whomever you consider to be Mom, Apple’s ultra casual iPad 11 is a super sweet option. Pricey for a simple gift, sure, but not so wildly expensive either, and you can score one in any color at $299 today via Amazon. 

If your Mom is a power tablet user, the base iPad 11 (A16) isn’t likely to be all that exciting. But when it comes to just having a fun and yet capable web-browsing and video chat-ready option, it is a great way to surprise Mom with an awesome Apple gift this year. 

Regularly $349, Amazon has all four down at $299 shipped right now, which is on par with the best deals of the year and a great chance to land one ahead of this weekend’s big day. 

Again, it’s certainly not the most powerful option, but if Mom is a just casual user, interested in a reliable tablet experience that runs Apple’s padOS for chatting with friends and family, browsing the web, making embracing posts on social media accounts, or doing some light banking, I would argue it is actually the best iPad you can get. There’s really no need to pay iPad Air prices for something this simple – the iPad 11 is roughly half the price and can likely do everything Mom needs it to. 

Check out even more great gift ideas for Mom before it’s too late in our feature piece right here, alongside some additional deals down below:

Apple’s new mid-range 256GB 13-inch M4 iPad Air hits new all-time low today at nearly $110 off

We are starting to see deal pricing on the new M4 iPad Air lineup drop even lower this week, and fortunately not just on the most expensive models. The most affordable configuration in the lineup hit its best price yesterday and now we have the 13-inch 256GB model dropping to a new Amazon all-time low at nearly $110 off. 

Amazon is now offering Apple’s new 13-inch M4 iPad Air with the 256GB storage capacity down at $789.99 shipped in all four colors. 

Regularly $899, you’re looking at just shy of $110 off and the best price we have tracked on this model. Up until now, really only the most expensive 1TB variants have hit the $100 off range, but today we are getting a mid-ranger model that hits right in the sweet spot for me on the iPad Air lineup – I probably don’t need 512GB, and I certainly don’t need the 1TB (unless there is a wild deal on one), and the 128GB leaves a little too much to be desired for me. 

Again, we are also tracking the best price to date on the entry 11-inch model if the 128GB works for you, and you’ll find an updated list of deal pricing across the lineup below:
