Alongside the ongoing $300 price drops that are delivering all-time lows on Apple’s most affordable M4 MacBook Pro, not to mention the M4 MacBook Air starting down at the $799 Amazon low, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break also has some new deals to scope out. Amazon has now brought back the $99 price drops on the Midnight AirPods Max (USB-C), but you can score an open-box set at $145 off right now. We also have just about every M3 MacBook Air model seeing $100 price drops on Amazon alongside discounts on this wireless CarPlay adapter and Nomad’s waterproof, adventure-ready Sport Slim Apple Watch band. Everything awaits down below
Now even lower: Score the Midnight AirPods Max (USB-C) for less than Prime Day at $145 off
Amazon has just brought back the $99 price drop on the Midnight black AirPods Max (USB-C) at $449.99 shipped. This is the same post-Prime Day deal we spotted last week that quickly went out of stock and is making a return here today alongside some additional color options at the discounted rate, but you can score them for even less than that. Head below.
As we detailed last time around, we did see all colors outside of the Midnight edition drop down to $400 for Prime Day at the top of the month for a sold $150 in savings off the usual $549 list price. That deal, even on the other colors, wasn’t particularly easy to come by, it first went live at Walmart and sold out quite quickly, and then went back and forth at Amazon for a few days thereafter.
Specifically speaking on the Midnight treatment, we saw that set fall to $430 at best during Prime Day, which was indeed the best we had ever tracked on them. For those who might have missed out on that offer, Amazon’s $99 price drop has returned here today for the next best thing – unless you want to save even more on an open-box set.
While previously selling for $413, Best Buy’s “excellent” condition Midnight USB-C AirPods Max listing has now dropped even lower to $403.99 shipped. This is easily one of the lowest prices we have ever tracked on this color.
For those unfamiliar, the “excellent” condition units are of the highest-quality Best Buy offers and ship with a full 1-year warranty from Apple. They also land on your doorstep Geek Squad verified and covered under Best Buy’s Return & Exchange Promise:
- Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings.
- Includes all parts and accessories. Packaging may vary or be absent.
Just about all M3 iPad Air storage configs are now $100 off at Amazon with deals from $499
Amazon is now offering $100 price drops across most colorways on the most affordable current-generation M3 iPad Air. And if you’re looking for a full-featured current model iPad running on Apple M series chips without spending iPad Pro money, the M3 model is where it’s at. Now starting from $499 shipped, you can get more details on these deals below.
Prime Day went live earlier this month and, outside of the AirPods deals, price drops on Apple’s current iPad lineup were front and center. While we had to wait well, until right now, for the major M4 MacBook deals – the best prices of the year are live on those right now – new all-time lows landed across Apple’s stable of iPads and we featured all of them.
That said, the new lows that landed on the M3 Air lineup had every model at $120 off. That’s notable for sure, but if you missed out on those and are, perhaps, looking to pick one up ahead of the school year or something like that, the $100 discounts we are tracking here today are awfully close and the iPad Air lineup doesn’t tend to see massive price drops before the next models release anyway (likely sometime in 2026).
As of right now several color options across various storage configuration options are now once again at $100 off for the first time since prices jumped back up after Prime Day in early July:
M3 iPad Air 11-inch
M3 iPad Air 13-inch
Why the most accessible M4 MacBook Air at $200 off might be the best Apple deal of the year
Apple’s new MacBook is on sale at its lowest price right now and it might very well be the best deal we have tracked all year on an Apple product. We have admittedly tracked some seriously fantastic Apple deals this year for sure, but the base model M4 MacBook Air might be the most universally-appealing, useful, and practical investment you can buy in the lineup right now while it’s down at $799 shipped – $200 off the list price.
It’s officially MacBook season, and by that I mean MacBook deal season. The M4 MacBook Air lineup is now sitting down at the lowest prices we have tracked on Amazon outside of a couple colorways with the more pricey configurations that have dropped a few bucks less, and the M4 MacBook Pro is sitting at Amazon all-time low pricing with $300 in savings.
We have seen some wild deals on the more expensive MacBook Pro configs, much like I just detailed on the spec’d out M4 Air models, but when it comes to folks looking for a new and yet modest machine that doesn’t need to be able to handle heavy weight Final Cut edits or Logic Pro sessions with 80+ tracks and things of that nature – you know the MacBook most folks will ever need – the deals we are tracking right now are as good as it gets.

Amazon’s best M4 MacBook Pro price ever might not last much longer, score one now at $300 off
While there’s no denying the value Apple’s latest M4 MacBook Air delivers, especially considering the entire lineup is now at some of the best prices ever at $200 off, if you’re after the MacBook Pro it’s hard to look the other way. This has largely been the case for me, and it just got even harder with the most affordable 16GB/512GB Pro model down at the new $1,299 shipped Amazon all-time low.
Apple’s least expensive MacBook Pro carries a $1,599 list price and is now $300 off at Amazon. This is the same deal we featured the second it went live earlier this week, but when we scoped it out this morning it looked as though the listing was about to jump back up in price – it was listed at a higher price with an on-page coupon.
While this might not mean anything and could have just been a pricing mistake, it could also mean the particularly notable $1,299 is about to be no more. You can get lucky with lower prices via in-store offers at select authorized dealers, when it comes to online prices it really doesn’t get any better than this.
You’re looking at the lowest price we have tracked to date to land a current-generation MacBook Pro. Yes, you can score an M4 MacBook Airwith the same 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $999 right now – it also has a display that’s nearly as large and four different color options – but it is not a MacBook Pro for a reason.
While both machines largely deliver the same performance and experience for some users, the MacBook Pro features a more robust and premium hardware build and a much better Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED display that delivers far better brightness and a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate as well. It also has better onboard connectivity with Thunderbolt 4 ports on both sides of the machine as well as HDMI and an SD card reader you will not get on the M4 MacBook Air. You also can’t the sleek, stealthy Space Black paint job on the Air.
But when it comes down to it, some folks just simply want a MacBook Pro, and if you’re one of them, and if the M4 base config is what you’re looking towards, pricing has never been better at Amazon (or, for the most part, online anywhere) than it is right now.
