MacBook Air $400 off, 11-inch iPad $299, more 9to5Mac

While we are still tracking a $150 price drop on the 24GB M4 Mac mini, today we are turning our attention to some big-time price drops on MacBook Air. The latest M4 models are $150 off in select colors and storage capacities, but we also spotted some select M3 models for folks who don’t need the latest and greatest at $400 off the list prices. We are then highlighting the most affordable current-generation iPad down at $299 in three colors alongside some accessories – the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapters at up to 47% off and Hyper’s Next 15W Qi2 MagSafe charging stand back at the 2025 low. All of that and more awaits below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

M4 MacBook Air still $150 off, but select upgraded M3 models are now $400+ off from $899

While we are still tracking up to $150 off select M4 MacBook Air configurations at both Amazon and B&H right now, there are some M3 options with as much $400 off the list prices this morning. One of the highlights here is the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,299 shipped – that’s $400 off the $1,699 list price. This deal is live at Amazon and B&H right now. Details below.

Apple upgraded its M3 MacBook Air lineup at the tail end of last year to bump out the 8GB configuration with 16GB of RAM. This in turn brought the price down across the lineup – the 24GB model we are featuring here today fetched an original price at $1,899 that then dropped down to $1,699 after the RAM bump and is now selling at $400 below that.

For some, the M3 is out of the question now that the M4 model has arrived. Apple has reduced the price on the price on the M4 models by $100 after all – the 15-inch 24GB model with the 512GB SSD carries a $1,599 list price and you’ll find select colorways marked down to $1,449 shipped via Amazon right now. But it’s going to be a long while, likely not until the next-generation models release, until we see the 15-inch 24GB M4 anywhere near $1,299. It has thus far never gone for better than $200 off.

If you are interested in the big-time deals on the M3 models, you will also find the 13-inch 16GB/512GB variant marked down to $899 shipped at Amazon and B&H right now from the usual $1,299 list price – this is also $400 off.

B&H is actually running a MacBook Air sale right now and, while the M4 models are all, for the most part, at the same price you’ll find at Amazon, there are some additional M3 configuration deals you can scope out right here.

Bring home the most affordable current-generation iPad today at $299 shipped

The Best Buy Members Deals Days event is now in full swing to get a head start on next month’s July Prime Day event. As you might have seen in our coverage of the sale this morning, Best Buy is offering its members a $20 bonus reward credit for every $200 spent on select tablets, the new 11-inch iPad A16 included. While there are some notable offers via the Best Buy promotion on other tablets, Amazon’s straight up deal on the iPad A16 at $299 shipped is a better option.

Regularly $349, Amazon has the 128GB entry-level model iPad A16 down at $299 shipped in blue, silver, and yellow right now. This is the lowest price we can find and on par with our previous mention.

The iPad A16 certainly isn’t the highest-end tablet out there by any means, and it doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, but we are talking about Apple’s newest and most affordable option at one of the lowest prices to date. While we have seen select colors dip below the $299 list price in very limited sales, as well as full $100 discounts on the more pricey 512GB model, scoring a brand new current-generation iPad for $299 is quite notable nonetheless.

It’s not going to take the place of a MacBook setup the way an M4 iPad Pro or even an iPad Air can, but it makes for an affordable way to bring home a casual Apple iPad experience without breaking the bank, and perhaps even something the whole family can share. At $299 we are approaching some of the most affordable prices for a tablet from the big tech brands, and the least expensive way to bring home a current-generation iPad by quite a wide margin – the next most affordable option is the iPad mini 7 when it drops $100 to $399, and you certainly aren’y getting an 11-inch display on one of those.

Power 4 devices on Hyper’s Next 15W Qi2 MagSafe charging stand at $120 (25% off, matching 2025 low)

After jumping back up to the full $160 list price, Hyper’s official Amazon storefront is now giving folks another shot at the 2025 Amazon low on its HyperJuice Next 4-in-1 Wireless Charger Qi2 Magnetic Stand at $119.99 shipped.

You’re looking at 25% in savings here, or $40 off the regular $160 list, to deliver the lowest price we can find. Today’s offer marks the second chance to score a deal this low on Amazon all year long, and a price on par with the best we have tracked since it dropped to $112.50 for the holidays last year – the discount we have here today is within $7.50 of the Amazon all-time low.

As just about everyone is aware of by now, there are hundreds of different options when it comes to multi-device MagSafe-equipped charging stands, and just about all of the best brands are now offering Qi2-supported options that can deliver 15W of juice to iPhone, just like you’ll find on the HyperJuice 4-in-1.

I personally have always gravitated to the design prowess and use of premium materials on models from Satechi and Nomad – they are both super easy to recommend to just about anyone. But one thing you won’t find from either of those brands is a 4-in-1 model. The Hyper take we are featuring here today features a 15W MagSafe pad for iPhone, a magnetic Apple Watch charger, and a pair of Qi pads for a second handset, AirPods, and so on.

This is clearly the main draw for this model, but at a price like today’s it largely undercuts the more premium options from both of the aforementioned brands anyway.

Head over to our launch coverage for more details.

Most affordable iPhone 16 Pro configs see Amazon Renewed Premium price drops, 1TB models up to $400 off

Head below for the details.

While the deepest deal naturally remains on the most pricey 1TB configuration at $400 off – this is matching our previous mention, that 256GB model is seeing a solid $149 drop to offer up a more affordable solution for folks looking to land an unlocked device. While the 17 series iPhones are inbound later this year in September, they always are and unless you plan on paying full price or waiting until spring 2026 for proper renewed listings to arrive, these 16 Pro deals are worth a look.
