Joining the ongoing price drops we spotted yesterday on the black Apple Watch Ultra 2, today’s best Apple deals are kicking off with even lower prices across the M3 MacBook Air lineup with new Amazon all-time lows landing on various configurations, alongside Apple’s upgraded 24GB M4 MacBook Air at the $1,272 low and models starting from $910. We also spotted a pair of Twelve South accessories deals, including its Find My-equipped PlugBug wall charger and its metal/walnut wood HiRise Pro monitor stand to join some solid offers on monitors, charging gear, and more. All of that and more awaits below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
New Amazon all-time lows hit the latest M3 iPad Air lineup, 13-inch 256GB model up to $91 off + more
We just spotted a new Amazon all-time low on the 13-inch 256GB M3 iPad Air at $829 shipped. While only the Blue and Starlight models are marked down this low – the Purple model is out of stock and the Gray is selling for $849, this is a regularly $899 configuration now down at a new Amazon all-time low.
Deals on the M3 iPad Air, much like we saw with the M2 right through until the new model released earlier this year, haven’t been quite as deep as we have seen elsewhere across the latest Apple devices. But again, if it goes anything like the previous M2 model, it likely won’t see giant deals at all, but instead slowly creep down to the $50 and $100 off range through the year until we might see something closer to $120 off like we did on the M2 for the holidays.
The iPad Air is arguably the most universally appealing iPad in the lineup – it’s not nearly as expensive as the M4 iPad Pro and is the only other current-gen Apple tablet that runs on the M series chips. One might suggest the latest iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip that can run Apple Intelligence is a more popular pick-up and that might be true, but if you want to get into the M chips the Air is where it’s at.
The only notable option we can find for less on the 13-inch 256GB model is the Best Buy open-box model at $807.99 in “excellent” condition with a full Apple warranty. This is $91 off the asking price and the best deal we can find from a dealer with this sort of reputation, units in this condition, and with a full warranty – it just depends on whether or not you’re willing to go for an open-box unit over a brand new one for $21 in savings.
Now let’s take a look at the rest of the configurations in the lineup for folks not interested in the 13-inch 256GB and for price comparison reference – alongside the 13-inch 256GB above, we are now tracking new lows on the 11-inch 256GB and 512GB models:
Apple iPad Air M3 11-inch
Apple iPad Air M3 13-inch

Apple’s upgraded 24GB M4 MacBook Air just hit the all-time low at $1,272 (Up to $139 off), more
While yesterday we spotted the 15-inch models and the entry-level variant dropping to a new all-time low at Amazon, this morning we are focused on the best price ever for the 13-inch 24GB M4 MacBook Air. Prices have been slowly falling below the MSRP across the lineup, but the new 13-inch 24GB model with the new 512GB SSD is now starting at $1,272 shipped. Regularly $1,399, this is $127 off the going rate, a new all-time low, and the best price we can find in new condition online.
While the best price available right now on this particularly configuration lands on the Midnight model – this colorway is seeing notable prices and new all-time lows on all of the 13-inch variants available on Amazon starting from $911.42 right now, you will also find the 13-inch 24GB model in the Sky Blue treatment at its best price to date as well down at $1,286 shipped.
This upgraded 13-inch model that typically sells for $1,399, which is still currently sitting at full price over at Best Buy where an open-box unit will cost you nearly as much at $1,259.99, or $139 off, with a full Apple warranty attached, is not only at its best price ever but it is also delivering the deepest deal we have tracked to date on brand-new condition M4 MacBook Airs.
Now let’s scope out the entire configuration lineup at Amazon, as many of the prices have dropped (again) from yesterday’s mentions – the base model is touch less much like the model featured above, and the entry-level 15-inch is now $100 off at a new all-time low.
- 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB from $911 (Reg. $999)
- 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB from $1,099 (Reg. $1,199)
- 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB from $1,272 (Reg. $1,399)
- 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB $1,099 (Reg. $1,199)
- 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,279 (Reg. $1,399)
- 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB $1,459 (Reg. $1,599)
Today’s accessories and charging deals:
Amazon brings back one of its best prices of the year on all black Apple Watch Ultra 2 models at $730
Amazon is bringing back the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 deals, and now undercutting the spring sale price from last week. You’ll now find all three of the stock satin black titanium configurations that debuted last fall down at $729.99 shipped, including the Black Ocean Band, the Black Trail Loop, and the Dark Green Alpine Loop models. Now within $1 of the lowest price we have tracked on new-condition units all year on Amazon, you’ll want to head below for more details.
There were some offers in the $719 range on the black Ultra 2 at Amazon for Black Friday and the holidays last year, but anything under $740 since then has been notable.
While we were recently tracking some notable open-box listings at Best Buy to nab these same configurations for less, those deals have come and gone now with most of them landing at prices higher than Amazon’s new listing we are featuring above. You will find some “good” and “fair” condition units there for less, but we tend to only recommend going for the “excellent” condition Best Buy open-box units – it’s sort of hard to justify spending $600 or more on something that might come scratched or dented, even if you can barely see it.
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to make its worldwide debut this fall alongside the next-generation iPhone, and we wouldn’t blame you for just holding off until then. But for me, Apple Watch, and especially the Ultra models are really more of a multi-year investment and there’s frankly no telling what pricing or deals might look like through the end of 2025 on the latest series 3 models.
Either way, you’ll want to scope some of our coverage on 9to5Mac before you make a final decision on any of this:
