Alongside the ongoing pre-order promotions leading up to tomorrow’s release of the new iPad (A16) and M3 iPad Air, as well as significant clearance discounts on M3 MacBook Air models, we’re kicking things off today with an outstanding deal on the M4 Pro MacBook Pro configuration. The 24GB M4 Pro MacBook Pro with a 1TB SSD is now available at the best price of the year, with a savings of $270, while the base M4 model is also seeing a discount of $204 off. Moving on to AirPods – the AirPods 4 are still starting at a low of $100, and the AirPods Pro 2 are now down to $170. This Costco deal also includes two years of AppleCare+ with nearly $100 off. Additionally, the iPhone 15 is discounted by $453 off at Amazon Renewed Premium and we’re seeing the lowest prices so far on the Apple Watch Series 10. All of this and more is available below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Upgraded 24GB M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 1TB SSD just hit the best price of the year at $2,129 ($270 off)
Late yesterday, we noticed that Amazon reduced the base M4 MacBook Pro to $1,395, a $204 discount that matches its historical low. That deal remains available here, but for those interested in a more powerful M4 Pro model, we now have one of the best prices on the enhanced 24GB model with a 1TB SSD, also with $270 off. Further details are below.
Amazon is now offering the 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro in Space Black with 24GB of RAM and the upgraded 1TB internal SSD for just $2,129 shipped. Regularly priced at $2,399 and currently matching Best Buy’s price, today’s offer gives you a solid $270 off this configuration, showcasing the lowest price we can find anywhere. This deal comes within $30 of the all-time low, which was $2,099 during Black Friday last year. The silver model is also on sale, but currently retails at $2,139.
Apple upgraded its base RAM configurations last fall, so the latest M4 Pro MacBook Pro machines feature a minimum of 24GB RAM. With the configuration highlighted here, you’re also benefitting from double the storage – 1TB compared to the base model’s 512GB.

Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C MagSafe charging case now available for $170 at Amazon (Reg. $249)
While we previously encountered remarkable deals on the latest AirPods Pro 2 with the USB-C MagSafe charging case around Black Friday last year, dropping to $154 for a limited time, Amazon has now reverted to a holiday pricing of $169.99 shipped. This is a 32% discount or $79 off the flagship Apple earbuds, regularly priced at $249.
However, it’s notable that AirPods Pro 2 hit $154 during Black Friday and Cyber Monday—the lowest price observed historically. Leading up to these dates and again shortly before Christmas 2024, we’ve seen prices around $169 and $169.99, similar to today’s offer. There was a quick dip to $169 in early February, and once again, we’re seeing a price very close to that today.
Apple’s black 512GB iPhone 15 reaches a new Amazon Renewed Premium low at $453 off (1-year warranty)
While we’ve been tracking solid deals on iPhone 15 Pro units, Amazon just dropped the price of the black 512GB iPhone 15 in Renewed Premium condition to $646.60 shipped, nearly matching the price of the 256GB model. A brand new unlocked 512GB iPhone 16 will set you back $1,099 from Apple, and the current list price for a comparable iPhone 15 is $999.
With today’s Amazon Renewed Premium deal, you’re looking at a savings of roughly $453 off the price of a new iPhone 16 and $353 below the ongoing pricing for an iPhone 15. These represent substantial discounts for a device rarely seen at reduced prices in unlocked new condition, marking a new low from a reputable refurbished dealer.
Unbeatable prices on Apple Watch Series 10 now at $100 off, starting from $299 (All colors)
Despite attempts during Prime Day and Black Friday 2024, we are now finally seeing straightforward $100 reductions on Apple Watch Series 10, achieving the lowest prices recorded for brand-new units. Amazon is currently offering the 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 in all colors for just $299 shipped, with the 46mm models priced at $329 shipped. Regularly $399 and $429 respectively, this indicates a $100 discount, providing new all-time lows on Amazon.
Prior to today, the base model variants of Series 10 had never been discounted more than $70, with offers mostly being in-store only and hardly accessible. Today’s deal marks the first time any of the three color options in both sizes is available at $100 off the list prices. If you’ve been considering purchasing a new Series 10, now is an excellent opportunity, as current-generation Apple Watch units seldom drop below $100 discounts until they release new models.
These $100 reductions apply to both the base GPS/Wi-Fi models and the enhanced GPS+Cell variations:
