It’s all about Pokémon Day 2026 over at 9to5Toys today, but our Lunch Break deals are still ready to go with some solid deals on Apple gear and accessories. Firstly, we spotted a notable chance to score AirPods Pro 3 at nearly $100 off today in “excellent” open-box condition (if you’re fast) alongside up to $200 off M5 iPad Pro configs and a chance to land a particularly deep $250 price drop on this 1TB M3 iPad Air model as stock begins to disappear at Amazon. All of that and more awaits below.
Alongside the launch of the new 4-day Best Buy sale, Amazon has decided to drop Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 down to $219.99 shipped. That is indeed a price drop from the regular $249 shipped, albeit not a wildly exciting one, but we did spot a chance to land a set of AirPods Pro 3 down at $154.99 shipped today – that’s nearly $100 off.
At this point, the new AirPods Pro 3 have yet to drop below $185 shipped in brand new condition, and even that was a rare and extremely short-lived deal. The most readily available low we have tracked to date is $199 shipped. So while the $220 offer at Amazon today isn’t bad through that lens, if you don’t mind trying your hand at a Best Buy “excellent” condition open-box unit with a 1-year warranty, you can land a set at nearly $100 off today.
Best Buy is now offering “excellent” condition open-box AirPods Pro 3 units down at $154.99 shipped. Regularly $249, this is $94 off the list and one of the best prices we have tracked to date in any condition from a reputable dealer.
Amazon has now brought back its all-time low pricing on Apple’s 1TB 11-inch M5 iPad Pro Cell model at $150 off the list price. You’ll also find this same discount on the Wi-Fi only model $200 less right now, but with the new Best Buy 4-day flash sale live, Plus and Total members can save $200 off a range of 11- and 13-inch configurations.
Amazon is now offering solid $150 price drops on the 1TB 11-inch configurations, including both the Wi-Fi only and the Cell variant – here’s how pricing works out across the lineup at Amazon before we dive into the My Best Buy Plus and Total bonus offers.
M5 iPad Pro 11-inch:
M5 iPad Pro 13-inch:
As you can see above the most accessible 11-inch variants are sold out at Amazon right now with select configurations at $150 off. This is matching the prices over at Best Buy, unless you’re a My Best Buy Plus or Total member where you’ll receive an additional $50 off the order for a total of $200 off the list prices. Deals start from $899.99 and you can scope out all of the eligible models right here.
Today’s accessories and charging deals:
Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have long been out in the wild now, but if you’re looking to land a high-capacity unlocked iPhone in the early parts of 2026 the latest models are going to cost you. The 1TB iPhone 17 Pro Max, for example, carries a $1,599 list price and the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max sells for $1,269 in the official Apple Refurbished Store, but Amazon will sell you a 1TB 16 Pro Max for $949 shipped right now – that’s $650 off the original list price.
Amazon is now offering Premium Renewed iPhone 16 Pro Max units with a 1TB storage capacity down at $949 shipped right now. Originally $1,599 at launch, which is the same price a 1TB 17 Pro Max carries, you’re looking at a price at $650 off the original price.
As mentioned above Apple also sells 1TB 16 Pro Max models in its official online refurbished store. This would naturally be the first and best place to score a deal on an unlocked series 16 iPhone, but you are going to be paying all whole lot more there than at Amazon right now – exactly $320 more.
