M4 Pro MacBook, AirPods Pro 2, iPhone 15, Find My, more 9to5Mac

Alongside ongoing pre-order deals ahead of release tomorrow on the new iPad (A16) and M3 iPad Air, as well as the particularly deep clearance deals on M3 MacBook Air models, today we are starting off with a banger M4 Pro MacBook Pro configuration. You’ll now find the 24GB M4 Pro MacBook Pro with a 1TB SSD at the best price of the year and $270 in savings alongside the base M4 model at $204 off. Then it’s over to AirPods – AirPods 4 are still starting back at the $100 low alongside AirPods Pro 2 down at $170 with a Costco offer that includes 2-years of AppleCare+ at nearly $100 off – and iPhone 15 at $453 off Amazon Renewed Premium and the lowest prices to date on Apple Watch Series 10. All of that and more awaits 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 afternoon we spotted Amazon dropping the base model M4 MacBook Pro down to $1,395, or $204 off, to match the best we have ever tracked. That deal is still up for grabs right here, but for folks looking at a more powerful M4 Pro model, one of the best prices to date is now live on the upgraded 24GB model with a 1TB SSD at $270 off. Details await 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 down at $2,129 shipped. Regularly $2,399 and currently fetching as much as Best Buy, today’s deal knocks a solid $270 off this configuration to deliver the lowest price we can find anywhere. This deal comes within $30 of the all-time low and is the best we have tracked otherwise – it dropped to $2,099 for a limited time over Black Friday last year. The silver modelis also on sale, but will run you $2,139 right now.

Apple upgraded its base RAM setups last fall, so the latest M4 Pro MacBook Pro machines start at the 24GB up for grabs here today. But with the config we are featuring above, you’re getting double the storage – 1TB instead of the base model 512GB.

Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C MagSafe charging case drop to $170 at Amazon (Reg. $249)

While we did see some wild deals on the latest AirPods Pro 2 with the USB-C MagSafe charging case over Black Friday last year in the $154 range for a week or so, Amazon just brought back the holiday pricing and one of the best prices of the year at $169.99 shipped. Regularly $249, this is 32% or $79 off the flagship Apple buds.

Apple AirPods Pro 2 dropped down to $154 for Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year – that was the lowest price we have ever tracked for them all-time. But on either side of that deal, in the lead up to Black Friday and then again just ahead of Christmas 2024, we were seeing the same $169 and $169.99 we have here today. There was a quick drop to $169 about a month ago in early February and we are once again seeing a price very close to that here today.

Apple’s black 512GB iPhone 15 just hit an Amazon Renewed Premium low at $453 off (1-yr. warranty)

We are still tracking some solid deals on iPhone 15 Pro units, but Amazon just knocked the black 512GB iPhone 15 in Renewed Premium condition down to $646.60 shipped – that’s nearly as low as the 256GB model. An unlocked 512GB iPhone 16 will cost you $1,099 in new condition from Apple and, since the latest 16 series models released, a comparable iPhone 15 carries a $999 list price.

With today’s Amazon Renewed Premium offer you’re looking at a price roughly $453 off the list on a new iPhone 16 and $353 under the current going rate for an iPhone 15. Those are indeed the new prices, but we are talking about some serious savings here on a device that is very rarely discounted in unlocked new condition and is now at a new low from a reputable refurbished dealer.

Best prices ever now live on Apple Watch Series 10 at $100 off with deals from $299 (All colors)

Prime Day couldn’t do it. Black Friday 2024 couldn’t do it. But we are now finally seeing straight up $100 price drops on Apple Watch Series 10 to deliver the lowest prices we have ever tracked on brand-new units. Amazon is now offering 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 in all three colors down at $299 shipped and 46mm models down at $329 shipped. Regularly $399 and $429, respectively, you’re looking at $100 price drops to deliver new Amazon all-time lows and the best prices we have tracked to date.

Before today, both of the base model Series 10 variants had never gone for more than $70 off, outside of extremely limited in-store only offers (that just about no one had a shot at). Today’s deal marks the very first time you can order any of the three colorways in both sizes at $100 off the list prices. If you have been holding off scoring a new Series 10, now’s as good a time as any to land one – current-gen Apple Watch units historically almost never drop more than $100 until right before the new models release.

These $100 discounts are available on the base GPS/Wi-Fi models as well as the upgraded GPS+Cell variants:

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

New M4 MacBook Air starts at $999, but Amazon is clearing out M3 models at up to $600 off the original price

Update 3/9: Amazon has dropped another $100 off select M3 MacBook Air models to delier to new all-time lows:

The brand new M4 MacBook Air has now arrived and is now up for pre-order on Amazon starting from $999 – you’ll also find some notable trade-in deals at Best Buy and straight up $50 cash discounts for paid members. Starting prices have dropped by $100 and there’s a sweet new Sky Blue colorway too, but Amazon is now starting to clear out the M3 MacBook Airs with the best prices we have tracked to date. We are talking about prices at $300 off, or $500 off the original prices here. Details below.

But let’s compare these deals to the brand new M4 MacBook Air prices – they launched yesterday at an even lower price point. A 13-inch M4 MacBook Air with the same 24GB of RAM and 512GB of storage sells for $1,399, and the 15-inch variant carries a $1,599 list price – both go for $200 more than the M3 clearance deals we are featuring above.

• 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB $799 (Reg. $1,099, Orig. $1,299)
