Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by a pair of return all-time lows on Apple’s most affordable M4 and M4 Pro MacBook Pro configurations. You’re looking at $200 and $250 off, respectively, to mark the return of the best prices ever on the 16GB 14-inch M4 model at $1,399 and the 14-inch 24GB M4 Pro variant at $1,749 – there’s no telling how long these deals might last for. From there we move over to the return of Doorbuster pricing on the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 for Best Buy members (this deal will be live for everyone tomorrow morning) alongside Apple’s iPad 10 down at $250 and a sweet deal on Lexar’s tiny 1TB Go iPhone portable SSD. All of that and more awaits down below.
Apple’s new 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM just dropped back to the $1,399 all-time low ($200 off)
After seeing a surprising $250 price drop hit the base M4 Pro configuration yesterday, Amazon is now offering the most affordable new MacBook Pro that debuted in October back at its best price ever. You’ll now find the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,399 shipped. This deal is also matched over at B&H. Regularly $1,599, this is a straight up $200 in savings on a MacBook Pro not much more than two months old. Today’s deal is on par with the lowest price we have tracked to date to mark a return to the Amazon all-time low.
Amazon unfortunately has this one arriving after Christmas at the time of writing, but you might get lucky at B&H (especially if you live in the New York area and can pick it up).
For the record, Best Buy still has this model on sale for $100 off with delivery in time for the holidays, but if you don’t absolutely need it for Christmas, the Amazon and B&H deals are clearly a much better buy.
While the full extent of the deals are now live for My Best Buy Plus and Total members, everyone else will have to wait until tomorrow to access the special discounts here.
One of the highlights here would have to be the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 that has now returned to the $719 Doorbuster price we saw ahead of Black Friday and earlier this month – this might very well be your last chance to score one at a discount ahead of Christmas. You’ll find all of the early Doorbusters on this page and both the natural and black Apple Watch Ultra 2 configs seeing markdowns right here. Just note, you’ll need to actually click through to the color and band configuration if your choice to see the $80 discount on each listing page.
FEATURED: MAGEASY iPhone and iPad cases + more
This year MAGEASY is running some notable buy 2 get 20% off deals across its lineup of Apple gear accessories, from its iPhone and iPad phone straps and cases to its Apple Watch Ultra 2 case and Odyssey Ultra M + Strap Magnetic 360 Stand Guard iPhone Case, both made from Apple’s aviation-grade aluminum “for a premium tactile feel.” You can mix and match with any two products on this landing page to score the 20% off or grab two of any single piece of gear.
Amazon just knocked the current Apple iPad 10 down to one of its best prices ever at $250 ($99 off)
Amazon is stepping in with one of the best prices ever on the current-generation Apple iPad 10th Generation today from $249.99 shipped. Be sure to clip the on-page coupon. This model debuted at $449 before seeing an official permanent price drop back in May to $349. Today’s deal is $199 off the original price and $99 under the current sticker price. It is also $19 below our previous mention.
You will find this same deal live over at Costco for members of the warehouse retailer. As of right now, neither storefront is shipping this deal in time for Christmas, but you might be able to land one at your local Costco brick and mortar location if you’re a member – just be sure to call ahead.
FEATURED: XGIMI home projector bundles

Lexar’s tiny 1TB Go portable SSD adds 4K Apple Pro Res storage to your iPhone at a new $150 low with holiday delivery
While you can still grab Lexar’s 4TB ARMOR 700 rugged portable SSD at $240 low, we just spotted another solid deal that drops the brand’s new mini iPhone SSD down to its best price. Over at Amazon, you’ll find Lexar’s 1TB Professional Go SSD down at $149.98 shipped. That’s $50 less than the price it debuted back in October. The 2TB variant is also at $239.98 shipped, down from its usual price of $300. You can also get them with a detachable hub to complete the setup for an additional $40. This is the first deal we are tracking on these new SSDs that lets you directly capture 4K Apple Pro Res footage straight from iPhone 15 and 16 Pro/Pro Max devices, and you can learn more about them below.
Today’s best accessory and charging deals:
There’s still time to score the most affordable M2 iPad Air for the holidays, now $100 or more off
Time is seriously starting to dwindle when it comes to landing a sweet Apple gift under the tree for a special someone. We have spent some time to roundup all of the best deals across Apple’s current lineup of gear for folks clamoring to get some Cupertino wrapped up this year, and we wanted to make sure the $100 price drop live on the most affordable M2 iPad Air was on your radar. This model has been mostly out of stock at Amazon for the better part of a week now, but you can still score one down at $499 shipped via Best Buy with shipping in time for the big day – that’s $100 off the regularly $599 price tag in all four colors.
You’ll also find this deal live as part of Target’s last minute sale event as well. Folks who might be a Target Circle Card holder or perhaps landed some store credit/gift cards from one of the many Black Friday deals we featured from the retailer will be able to get an even lower price. Target Circle Card holders can drop the total down to $474.99 shipped.
Belkin’s Apple MagSafe Duo-style charger is now seeing its first price drop with holiday delivery
After Belkin effectively revived Apple’s discontinued MagSafe Duo charger at IFA this year, today Amazon is finally delivering the first notable deal on it. While the brand has since issued a 3-in-1 model, the 2-in-1 MagSafe Duo-style variant delivers a higher-end fabric-wrapped treatment with a design clearly modeled on the late, great MagSafe Duo. Regularly $120, you can now score one down at $99.99 shipped on Amazon with arrival before Christmas (at the time of writing). It is, naturally, still listed at full pice via the official online Apple Store.
As detailed in our launch coverage, the BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 Magnetic Charging Travel Pad looks a whole lot like the old Apple MagSafe Duo, just with a charcoal fabric-wrapped treatment and 15W of Qi2 power on the main MagSafe pad. The compact, rounded square unit unfolds to reveal a MagSafe pad for iPhone or AirPods on one side and a pop-up Apple Watch charger on the other.
Apple Watch Series 10 models from $330 with holiday delivery
Just be sure to double check over at Best Buy that the particular configuration you’re after doesn’t start to slip beyond the holiday deliver window at some point – many of the same deals or offers very close to it are now live there as well.
Apple’s 16GB and 24GB M3 MacBook Air up to $400 off the original prices
Today we are going to be looking at some notable price drops on Apple’s latest M3 MacBook Air, it’s most affordable current-generation laptop you can get under the tree this year. While Amazon’s shipping times on select configurations are starting to slip beyond the big day this year, there are still some that land in time and Best Buy is now offering much of the same price drops with delivery listed well before December 24 on most models.
Amazon has the elevated 13-inch and 15-inch with 24GB of RAM and 512GB SSDs down at $1,299 and $1,499, respectively. Both models are now $200 off the going rate and a whole more than that below the original prices they fetched before Apple upgraded the 8GB RAM models to 16GB back in October.
