M4 Mac min, Apple Watch Series 10, Trackpad, more 9to5Mac

Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break deals are now live starting with a rare price drop on the 1TB M4 Mac mini configuration, alongside a 1TB M4 Pro MacBook Pro at $300 off the list price. We also have up to $149 off Apple Watch Series 10 just after Apple announced the new U.S. Blood Oxygen feature, AirPods 4 from $80, a rare price drop on the USB-C Magic Trackpad, and much more below. 

Rarely ever discounted 1TB M4 Mac mini is now $100 off + most affordable 24GB model at $699

This morning we are touching down with our friends over at B&H to highlight another notable deal on the latest M4 Mac mini you can’t get on Amazon. Catching a $100 price drop on any of the M4 machines is still a notable deal, and an offer we have seen a number of times courtesy of Amazon, but B&H now has the 1TB model you won’t even find there down at $899 shipped.

While the most affordable M4 minis aren’t quite down low enough for us to recommend pulling the trigger on right now – you really ought to wait until they are at least $100 off, B&H does have a compelling sale price at the ready on an upgraded config.

You’ll now find the M4 Mac mini with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD down at $899 shipped. This setup would run you $999 if you purchased it over at Apple, but the authorized dealers over at B&H have a nice $100 price drop at the ready.

This configuration, largely because you just can’t get it on Amazon, is now seeing quite a rare price drop. It also sits alongside a series of other ongoing M4 and M4 Pro Mac mini deals over at B&H you’ll want to scope out if you’re looking for a more powerful option:

And just as a quick reminder for those unfamiliar with B&H, this is a beloved authorized dealer delivering official upgraded Mac configurations – not some cobbled together custom jobs.

Apple’s 1TB 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro hits one of its best prices ever today at $300 off, more from $1,299

The big-time $300 price drops on the entry-level M4 MacBook Pro lineup continue, alongside the deep discount on the entry M4 Pro model. And now Amazon is delivering much of the same on the 1TB pro variant at $300 off the list price for the best we can find anywhere online.

Amazon is now offering the 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 1TB SSD down at $2,099 shipped. This is a regularly $2,399 configuration now seeing a straight $300 off the list price to deliver the lowest price we have tracked in months.

In fact, the only times we have ever seen this model sell for any less than we have here today were a couple short-lived dips back in May and early June – today’s deal is within $25 of the Amazon all-time low. Outside of those two offers, you’re looking at the best of the year and a deal price on par with the Black Friday offer last year.

The M4 Pro is no small investment, this we all know by now. And that’s especially so when you get up into the higher-end configurations like the 1TB model we have on sale here today. That said, there are $300 price drops landing across the latest-generation lineup right now with deals still starting down at $1,299 shipped:

• 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/512GB from $1,299 (Reg. $1,599)
• 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/1TB from $1,499 (Reg. $1,799)
• 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro 24GB/1TB from $1,699 (Reg. $1,999)
• 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/512GB from $1,699 (Reg. $1,999)
• 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/1TB from $2,099 (Reg. $2,399)
• 14-inch M4 Max MacBook Pro 24GB/1TB from $2,899 (Reg. $3,199)

Apple Watch Series 10 models up to $149 off just as new Blood Oxygen feature makes triumphant return in the U.S.

Big Apple news just hit – a redesigned Blood Oxygen feature is making a triumphant return after a long legal battle forced it to remove feature from its Apple Watch experience. Some folks were not happy about this and it might even deterred some to upgrade to apple Watch 10 or Ultra 2, so let’s look how to score one at well below the list price.

In a statement to 9to5Mac this morning, Apple confirmed the feature will be coming back in a resigned state starting later today, as part of the iOS 18.6.1 and watchOS 11.6.1 release.

Apple said this update will be live for “Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2 users in the U.S. who don’t have the original Blood Oxygen feature.”

You can get a complete rundown of how the new Blood Oxygen feature will work once it goes live/you have updated your devices accordingly over at 9to5Mac.

And if you don’t own one yet, there are still some solid $100 price drops live across the base models on Amazon right now and as much as $149 off the Cell variants – all of these models will have access to the new Blood Oxygen feature once updated as described above:

Just keep in mind, if you don’t scooping one up at Woot, there are brand new Cell models with full Apple warranties for even less than Amazon right now – $149 off:

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

Entire M3 iPad Air lineup now undercutting Prime Day at $150 off with new all-time lows from $449

Update: Amazon has now matched the $150 price drops on several more colors since the time of writing:

This year’s Prime Day festivities that went live last month ushered in new all-time lows across the latest M3 iPad Air lineup, and especially the most affordable models that landed at $120 off. However, starting today both Amazon and Target are now offering straight up $150 price drops on the least pricey 11- and 13-inch models to deliver the best prices we have tracked all year anyone can take advantage of at retail online.

As of right now, Amazon’s selection of colors and storage capacities is somewhat more limited than Target, but you will find the 13-inch models starting at the new $649 shipped all-time low there with the $150 price drops going right up through the lineup: 128GB, 256GB, and the 512GB.
Amazon also has select 11-inch models starting down at the new $449 all-time low as well.

Over at Target today though, there are far more options across both the 11- and 13-inch sizes – both sizes and all storage capacities (outside of the 1TB model) and in all colors are now $149 off starting from $449.99 shipped:

M3 iPad Air 11-inch

M3 iPad Air 13-inch

We are very much expecting Amazon to price match on all models at $150 off here at some point. In fact, we are surprised it hasn’t already – it is very rare to see new all-time lows land across an entire current-generation Apple product vertical without Amazon getting in on the action. We will update this post accordingly if it does indeed match on the rest of the models.
