Apple’s new M3 Macs are finally seeing some savings, as the early Black Friday deals pour in. Headlining the offers, the new M3/Pro MacBook Pros are now starting from $1,449 with $150 or more in savings attached. You can also bring home the shiny new M3 iMac at $1,199, to go alongside this 25% off ZAGG sale on MagSafe chargers and more. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Apple’s new M3/Pro MacBook Pros see early Black Friday deals
We’re tracking some of the first discounts on the all-new M3 and M3 Pro MacBook Pros. Courtesy of B&H, there are a few discounts live on the latest releases from Apple, all of which come headlined by the 14-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro at $1,799. This is $200 off the usual $1,999 price tag and delivering one of the only chances to save since launching earlier in the month. It’s a match of the all-time low, and the first time the savings are available for all shoppers. We also just took a hands-on look at how the new Space Black package from Apple stacks up.
Alongside the 14-inch model above, the early Black Friday Apple savings also continues over to a pair of other discounts on the latest MacBooks from Apple. Right now, you can save on the larger 16-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro alongside the new entry-level 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro. Here’s a breakdown of the savings – both of which are down to either new all-time lows, or matching the best prices yet.
Apple is back with its latest MacBook Pros, refreshing the same physical form-factors with improved performance. You’re still looking at a Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion 120Hz refresh rates and P3 wide color gamut support, but this time there’s extra brightness that climbs up to 1,600 nits. Otherwise, there’s still Thunderbolt ports, an 8K HDMI output, and SD card slot – but did we mention all of that comes packed into a slick new Space Black colorway?
Apple’s new 24-inch M3 iMac sees $100 discount
B&H today has been ringing in the holidays a bit early and setting the pace with some enticing Apple discounts, which now includes the all-new 24-inch M3 iMac. The recent desktop Mac refresh is joining this morning’s M3 MacBook Pro sale with one of its first chances to save as part of an early Apple Black Friday deal. Right now, you can drop the price down to $1,199 shipped. You’d more regularly pay $1,299, with today’s offer knocking $100 off. This is only the second discount to date, and matches the all-time low from a short-lived pre-order discount. I just took a hands-on look at what the deal with the new M3 iMac is.
The story with Apple’s new 24-inch M3 iMac is all about the new internals. The updated silicon means that it can offer even better performance than before, which is even more notable considering we never got an M2 version of the form-factor. So the gains from the original M1 chip up to Apple’s new 3nm system are going to be even more apparent – which I’ve found that to be the case from my hands-on usage so far.
But even with an upgrade chipset aside, you’re still looking at one of the most streamlined desktop machines on the market. The 24-inch 4.5K Retina display remains one of the best on the market, and the sleek all-in-one build is still as minimal as it gets.
ZAGG takes 25% off MagSafe chargers and more
ZAGG is helping you beat the holiday rush next week by marking down an assortment of its in-house chargers and keyboards. The savings apply to just about everything the brand sells in those two categories, with 25% in savings automatically applying once items are added to your cart.
An easy highlight has one of the first chances to save on one of the company’s new releases. The mophie 3-in-1 extendable MagSafe stand just began shipping, and is now down to $112. This 25% discount is of course on-par with the rest of the ZAGG sale today, and lands from the usual $150 price tag as the third-best offer so far.
The new mophie 3-in-1 extendable MagSafe stand arrives with the ability to charge up your iPhone 15, as well as other gear in your Apple kit with one streamlined footprint. There’s Apple Watch fast charging support, as well as a 5W Qi pad, both of which are joined by a telescoping MagSafe mount with full 15W speeds. It really is the latter that makes this one stand out from the competition, allowing you to adjust the height of your iPhone for taking FaceTime or Zoom calls and the like. We break down what’s to like this time around in our launch coverage, too.
