We are ready to kick-off the week in Apple deals starting with a couple offers that hit over the weekend on M4 iPad Pro Magic Keyboards and the return of $100 price drops on upgraded M4 Mac mini configs, including both 16GB and 24GB models. Next up we have the black titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 that is now as much as $170 off, with Best Buy open-box listings including full warranties starting from $629, alongside $100 off brand-new Apple Watch Series 10 models, new lows on select M3 iPad Air configs, and the first chance to save on the new Powerbeats Pro 2. All of that and more awaits below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Apple’s upgraded M4 Mac mini configs just fell back to Amazon lows: 16GB/512GB at $699 or 24GB model at $899 ($100 off), more
Amazon has now brought back its best price ever on the upgraded M4 Mac mini with 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Regularly $999, you can land one down at $899 shipped, or $100 off the going rate to match the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon. Head below for more details and additional discounts across the lineup.
The new latest M4 Mac mini made its debut back in October as Apple’s upgraded and most affordable headless Mac. We did see the 24GB model fall to $939 a couple times in late 2024, but it wasn’t until 2025 that we started to see the straight $100 cash discounts. Today’s offer lands on par with the Amazon all-time low we first spotted at the top of March to give folks another shot at the best Amazon price to date on Apple’s 24GB Mac mini.
As of right now, the entry-level model with the 16GB of RAM and 256GB internal SSD is still sitting at the $529 shipped discounted rate – that’s $70 off the list price and $29 above the best price we have tracked. However, folks who don’t need the 24GB RAM upgrade will find the mid-tier stock configuration with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD also now back down at $699 to deliver $100 in savings and the lowest price we can find.
Here’s how the discounted pricing breaks down across the lineup – only the upgraded M4 Mac mini configurations are back down at the Amazon all-time low pricing though:
Black Apple Watch Ultra 2 units now up to $170 off (Best Buy open-box w/ full warranty), more
Straight up cash deals on brand-new Apple Watch Ultra 2 units have been harder to come by in 2025. We have seen some drops here and there on select configurations, but nothing quite as readily available as during the holiday season at the tail end of 2024. Today, however, over at Amazon you’ll find the the Natural Titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 with a Navy Ocean Band marked down to $734.89 shipped, or $64 off the regular $799 price tag, alongside a host of notable open-box listings at Best Buy with full 1-year Apple warranties at the ready and up to $170 in savings on the black models. Scope those out down below.
Best Buy’s open-box listings, and especially the “excellent condition” units, have yielded some of the best prices of the year on Apple Watch Ultra 2, and they continue that trend today. These units work and look “like new” and include all of the usual accessories.
Here are some of the most notable Black Titanium configurations seeing discounted open-box pricing right now.
As of right now, these are the lowest prices we can find from a reputable dealer on the newer black case variants – there are some refurbs out there from less reliable dealers, but you won’t get that full 1-year Apple warranty with some of them, never mind the Geek Squad treatment and Best Buy’s return policy.
For those looking towards the more affordable Series 10 Apple smart wearables, over this past weekend we spotted a couple of the GPS + Cell models drop back to Amazon all-time low pricing in brand-new condition with $100 in savings. All of the details you need on those await right here.
Apple’s new 512GB 11-inch iPad Air just hit a new Amazon all-time low, more from $549 or up to $650 off with trade
Update: Stock does appear to be low, but we did just spot a new Amazon all-time low on Apple’s latest 512GB M3 iPad Air in Gray down at $832 shipped – this is a regularly $899 configuration with the best straight up cash deal we have tracked online to date.
Apple unleashed the next-generation of mid-range iPads just under a month ago with the new M3-equipped iPad Air lineup, and we just spotted a new all-time low. While you’ll still find $50 price drops across a number of configurations over at Amazon right now (waiting down below), it now has the 11-inch 256GB model starting from a new $644 $657 shipped low. Regularly $699, this is $55 off the going rate and the best cash deal we have tracked on this model to date.
While you can still score the $50 price drop on the base model 11-inch 128GB configuration at $549, today’s deal marks the lowest price we have tracked to date on the 256GB upgrade.
As avid 9to5Toys readers will all already know, while today’s deal is the lowest cash deal yet, we uncovered some serious opportunities to save on trade-ins back during the pre-order phase and you can still take advantage of them right now. In fact, you can score one with a massive $650 in savings when you trade-in a previous-generation M2 iPad Air right now – and there are also plenty of savings with just about any previous iPad. All of the details you need on that are waiting right here.
That said, and including the all-time low still live on the most affordable 13-inch variant, you can browse through the straight up cash deals across the lineup down below – all but the 11-inch 512GB variant are still marked down to the best we have tracked.

First chance to save on new Powerbeats Pro 2 – open-box units now $64 off with full warranty
Apple’s Beats brand unleashed the brand new Powerbeats Pro 2 to more than positive praise across just about anyone who had a chance to give them a go – we said they “tick all the boxes with heart rate monitoring, slimmer design, H2 chip, more” after going hands-on back in February. But much like the other recent Beats releases, price drops have been nearly non-existent in the first few months on the market. We did detail some trade-in offers, but we are yet to see some actual deals…until today.
Both Amazon and Best Buy still have the Powerbeats Pro 2 listed at the full $249.99, but Best Buy does have the black model “excellent condition” open-box units now up for grabs down at $185.99 shipped – this listing also ships with a full 1-year warranty.
Today’s open-box deal knocks $64 off the list price to deliver the lowest price we have tracked from a reputable dealer since they hit the market earlier this year.
Beats says the Powerbeats Pro 2 are the “most advanced headphone “ it has ever made, with “1,500 hours of athlete testing” and rave reviews from our friends over at 9to5Mac. They carry the Apple H2 chip with ANC, Transparency mode, and Personalized Spatial Audio alongside a 33% smaller case with USB-C and wireless charging, up to 45 hours of battery life, built-in heart rate monitoring, and an IPX4-rated sweat and water resistance.
You can activate Siri, take calls, and leverage a series of iPhone-specific features – “one-touch pairing, automatic switching, Audio Sharing, hands-free Siri, and Find My” – alongside compatibility with Android devices too – “the Beats App unlocks one-touch pairing, Heart Rate Monitoring, customizable controls, battery status widgets, and Locate My Beats.”

Today’s accessories and charging deals:
Apple’s latest AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation return to Amazon 2025 low at $149 today
Update: After jumping back up to full price, this deal we spotted during the Big Spring Sale has now returned again this morning.
Amazon now has the elevated AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation back down at the Big Spring Sale price we featured last month. Regularly $179, Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation down back down at $148.99 shipped – this is matching our previous mention and the lowest price we have tracked this year there.
While we did catch a short-lived offer on the ANC AirPods 4 ahead of Christmas last year at the $139 Amazon all-time low, today’s deal is otherwise on par with the best we have seen otherwise. There have also been some extremely fleeting, almost spammy, offers from less than desirable online retailers for less, but just about no one had a chance to scoop them up and I’m not sure you would have even wanted too anyway – I didn’t.
Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 remain the gold standard in Apple in-ear listening experiences if you ask me (and million of others) – they were after all one of the most popular products among 9to5Toys readers last year despite the newer AirPods 4 hitting the market last fall, and were featured in our 9to5Toys’ Favorite Things of 2024 feature for this reason.
That said, the AirPods 4 are a less pricey endeavor and one that we came away quite impressed with after getting hands-on last year – Hands-on with AirPods 4: better in every way.
Joining the active noise cancelation, Siri hands- and voice-free interactions, Voice Isolation, and Personalized Spatial Audio tech, they land with a redesigned earbud form-factor featuring a “refined contour, shorter stem, and quick-press controls for music or calls” alongside a case that is the “smallest in the industry with wireless charging”
