Holiday-worthy iPad mini 7 deals roll on, but today we are focused on AirPods and MacBooks. First and foremost, the latest USB-C AirPods Max are now down at the best price ever with $99 in savings on all color options. That offer was ushered in by a notable new 4-day Best Buy sale event, but we have also spotted some of the lowest prices ever on the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air configs – they are now $250 off the new regular prices and $450 off the sticker price before the RAM upgrade. Those deals join iPhone 15 Pro, some Find My gear, and charging accessories too. Check it all out below.
Apple’s 15-inch M3 MacBook Airs now up to $450 off the original prices, 16GB and 24GB models from $1,249
While we are still tracking $200 price drops on the latest 13-inch M3 MacBook Air models, Amazon is now taking it up (or down rather) a notch on the 15-inch models. We did see the 15-inch variants drop the same $200 from the new list prices last week, but Amazon is now offering most configurations at $250 off. They are now closer to $450 off the price they carried before Apple upgraded the lineup to start with 16GB of RAM back in October. Details below.
The new base model 15-inch M3 MacBook Air is still starting at $1,099, or $200 off the new $1,299 list price, but we are seeing even deeper deals on the elevated configurations now. This includes both the 16GB and 24GB RAM models with the 512GB SSD upgrade:
M3 MacBook Air deals are flying right now across a number of configurations and you’ll find the rest of them waiting down below:
- 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB $899 (Orig. $1,299, Reg. $1,099)
- 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,099 (Orig. $1,499, Reg. $1,499)

Apple’s USB-C AirPods Max just hit the best price ever at $99 off, Lightning sets up to $217 off
We are now tracking the best price ever on the new USB-C AirPods Max courtesy of Amazon. Apple unleashed the new USB-C AirPods Max in five new colors last September and all of them are now sitting down at a new $449.99 shipped all-time low. Regularly $549, this is a straight up $99 price drop and the best price we have tracked all-time.
For some, the new paint jobs and the switch over to USB-C might not be worth paying the premium for – we do see the Lightning models drop lower than the $450 up for grabs here today on the newer USB-C variant. You can, in fact, still score an open-box Lightning unit from Best Buy in “excellent” condition down at $332 shipped, or $217 off the original $549 list price (Apple doesn’t sell the Lightning sets anymore). But the brand new Lightning models are now selling for more than the USB-C sets at Amazon.
Entire new Apple iPad mini 7 lineup back to all-time low pricing at $100 off today, deals from $399
Deals on the new iPad mini A17 Pro, or iPad mini 7, have been mostly hard to come since we saw some discounts closer to launch back in October. While Best Buy is still offering some notable trade-in value for folks flipping the previous mini 6 (or other iPads), both Best Buy and Amazon are landing today with straight up $100 price drops on almost all configurations. The deals start from $399 shipped for the 128GB model – the most affordable of the lot, but you will find the discounts across all three models today as well as the Wi-Fi + Cell variants too. Scope out the details below.
As of right now, Best Buy has the straight up $100 price drops on just about every single configuration of the new A17 Pro model. We are expecting Amazon to get in on the price matches here at some point today, but at the time of writing we are only seeing the $100 price drop on the higher-end 512GB model and select colors of the entry-level at $399 there.
Today’s best accessory and charging deals:
Official Orange/Beige Apple Watch Trail Loop just hit the Amazon all-time low at $70 (29% off)
The official Apple Watch band deals just keep coming this week and today we spotted the Apple Trail Loop with the orange, beige and blue striping pattern down at $69.99 shipped. Regularly $99, this is nearly 30% off the going rate, the lowest price we can find, and a new Amazon all-time low on this model.
Apple’s 16GB M4 MacBook Pro with the 1TB SSD just dropped back to the $1,599 all-time low ($200 off)
Amazon has now dropped the price on Apple’s new M4 MacBook Pro with the 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD back down to its best price ever. We are indeed still tracking some notable price drops on the M4 Pro machines as well as this wild deal on an M3 Pro configuration at up to $1,000 off, but you can now indeed land the 16GB/1TB M4 MacBook Pro down at $1,599 shipped in Space Black right now.
Apple Pencil Pro for M4 iPad Pro, iPad Air, and mini 7 just dropped back to $99 Black Friday price
Just after seeing the compatible iPad mini 7 configurations drop $100 this morning, Amazon and Best Buy have now brought back the official Black Friday pricing on the flagship Apple Pencil Pro at $99 shipped. Regularly $129, today’s deal is the lowest price we can find and on par with the deals we spotted over the Black Friday season at all major online retailers. While we have seen it drop a few bucks lower in the past, the $99 sale price here has been as good as it gets for the last couple months.
