This week’s edition of the top Apple deals kicks off with an impressive $200 discount on the 13-inch 512GB M4 iPad Pro in Space Black. Additionally, you can grab an open-box version at a remarkable $345 off and it still comes with a complete Apple warranty. Following that, we have exciting news about the new M4 MacBook Air lineup, which has hit some record-low prices alongside $110 off deals on open boxes. You’ll also find noteworthy savings on various accessories including an exclusive 50% off on all Burton Goods leather iPhone cases and wallets, plus new low prices on Twelve South’s latest 15W 2-in-1 Butterfly MagSafe travel charger, Find My devices, chargers, and more.
Amazon lowers the price of the 512GB 13-inch M4 iPad Pro to $1,300, with an option for an open-box unit at $345 off
Currently, we are also seeing one of the best offers we’ve ever spotted on the more budget-friendly 11-inch model, as “excellent condition” open-box units with full warranties are now priced at $820. Yesterday, Amazon slashed nearly $200 off on the 512GB 13-inch M4 iPad Pro, brand new. This price is exceptionally close to the best deal we’ve seen this year, marking the end of a streak of limited cash discounts on the M4 Pro lineup. More details are below.
Amazon has the 512GB 13-inch M4 iPad Pro priced at $1,299.99 shipped in Space Black. This represents a $199 discount from the regular list price of $1,499 and is just $1 shy of the best price recorded all year. This current deal is nearly as low as we’ve ever seen since the M4 Pro lineup launched last May—previously, there were a couple of moments with prices dropping to $1,150 at Amazon, but those offers lasted only for a few hours.
The best alternative deal we’ve come across requires a recommendation for a listing in “excellent condition” open-box at Best Buy. It includes a full 1-year Apple warranty and is currently priced at $1,154.99 shipped, which is $345 off the original list price of $1,499.
While nothing compares to a pristine, brand new M4 iPad Pro—especially this model—the savings on the open-box option are hard to overlook, especially given the full warranty, all included accessories, Geek Squad verification, and the best condition they offer for such units.
I want to briefly emphasize this specific configuration, regardless of which purchasing route you choose. Personally, I consider the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro with 512GB storage to be the best model. It strikes the perfect balance—not the priciest, nor the cheapest but the most suitable choice. The 512GB of storage is just right—not so excessive to warrant a high price, yet also not at the entry-level. Plus, it’s the 13-inch version, Apple’s slimmest tablet ever (even thinner than the 11-inch). So you’re landing a configuration that provides a well-placed storage capacity on what I believe (and many others agree) is the finest tablet ever crafted.
New low for the upgraded 24GB M4 MacBook Air at Amazon, starting from $1,329, and more from $890
While the open-box deals on the M4 MacBook Air that come with full Apple warranties remain available at Best Buy, we unearthed several new all-time low offers over at Amazon this morning for those looking for brand-new units. The most economical 16GB/256GB model starts at $949, reflecting a $50 reduction, but some upgraded configurations have recently dropped even lower, presenting the best new prices we’ve documented thus far. More specifics below.
The new lowest pricing we noted today applies specifically to a few colors in the upgraded 13-inch model with 24GB and the 15-inch variant featuring the upgraded 512GB SSD:
As indicated above, these two models represent the lowest prices we’ve encountered online for these setups to date. They are remarkably close in price right now; personally, I’d prefer the compact 13-inch with 24GB of RAM, but for those who require extra screen space, the 15-inch offer makes a compelling case as well.
As previously stated, there are some lower prices offered on the 13-inch entry model with the open-box deals at Best Buy; however, those prices have seen a slight increase since our initial posting—a sole Starlight model remains at $110 off for $890.
Twelve South’s new 15W 2-in-1 Butterfly MagSafe travel charger reaches an all-time low at $50 (50% off)
Last summer, Twelve South introduced a new and more budget-friendly version of its Butterfly travel charger. The SE model retains the fold-out 2-in-1 wireless charging functionality, now featuring 15W Qi2 power on the main MagSafe pad. We’re currently tracking the lowest prices ever on this, which regularly retails for $100. You can once again pick up the black model on Amazon at its lowest price of $50.99 shipped. Meanwhile, a new Woot Bestest of Tech sale has brought the best-ever price for the white model down to $49.99 Prime shipped (note: a $6 delivery fee applies otherwise).

Upgrade to Apple’s USB-C Magic Mouse with these rare open-box offers: White $61 or Black $72 (1-year Apple warranty)
If you’ve been waiting for a deal on the new USB-C Apple Magic Mouse, today might be your moment. Historically, discounts on Apple’s Magic Mouse are sparse—the black variant saw just one solid price drop before, and the white USB-C model hasn’t dropped below $78 yet. However, Best Buy currently has some “excellent condition” open-box listings with full 1-year Apple warranties at the best prices we’ve recorded for both the black and white models from a trustworthy dealer.
As a reminder, the white model has a $79 retail price, and the black variant retails for $99 from Apple, both of which are currently priced similarly at Amazon. However, the pricing for the Geek Squad-verified open-box units in “excellent” condition at Best Buy is significantly lower:
Along with the “Apple One (1) Year Limited Warranty” they ship with, plus Best Buy’s Return & Exchange Promise, here are the essential details you need to know about these open-box listings:
- Functions and looks like new. Fully reset to factory settings.
- Includes all original parts, packaging, and accessories (or appropriate replacements).
The newer USB-C version of the Apple Magic Mouse closely resembles the Lightning versions—save for the USB-C port located underneath, allowing you to finally part ways with those Lightning cables. Speaking for myself, the Magic Mouse is the only device I still use that requires a Lightning connection, and while I don’t necessarily need an upgrade, I’m eager to finally ditch the old Apple connector standard.
