Amazon Labor Day, MacBook Pro Apple Watch Ultra, more 9to5Mac

Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break deals are kicking off with the now live Amazon Labor Day sale where you’ll find plenty of big-time Apple gear deals. All of the details you need on that are right here, but we are also once again tracking the 24GB/512GB M3 MacBook Air for $400 less than the M4 model (it is now back in stock) alongside the most affordable M4 MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM at $300 off, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 models at $150 off the list prices. All of that and more awaits below. 

Looking to score an M4 MacBook Pro? This rare deal has the most affordable 24GB model at $300 off

This morning we are highlighting the B&H deal on Apple’s M4 MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD. This not a configuration you see deals on very often (almost never) and we are currently getting a solid $300 price drop ahead of the big Apple release season that starts next month. This upgraded configuration of Apple’s most affordable MacBook Pro is now $300 off the list price for the lowest we can find (or have tracked).

Alongside the rest of the ongoing MacBook Pro deals you’ll find organized below, B&H is now offering the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro in Space Black upgraded with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD at $1,499 shipped. This is a $1,799 config at $300 less than you would pay at Apple.

Amazon does have the base model M4 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and the same amount of storage at $1,299 ($300 off) still as well, but it does not offer an option to upgrade the base M4 model with 24GB of RAM – you’ll need to jump up to the more pricey M4 Pro model and that will cost you $1,699 (also $300 off at the moment).

That leaves today’s featured B&H offer as not only the best price out there on a 24GB M4 MacBook Pro, but also one of the only authorized dealers we truly trust delivering it with a deep discount.

All of that said, if you can scrape up another $200 the M4 Pro model with the same specs is a solid choice instead. But $200 is $200 and the M4 model might be more than enough for your needs.

Scope out the rest of the M4/M4 Pro MacBook Pro deals we are tracking right now below:

• 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 $2,809 (Reg. $3,199)

Land the 24GB/512GB M3 MacBook Air for $400 less than the M4 model at Amazon today

The M4 MacBook Air is somehow still sitting down at $200 off the list prices across the entire lineup with prices from $799. However, we just spotted a new Amazon all-time on the Space Gray M3 15-inch model with 24GB of RAM at $500 off the latest list price.

Amazon is now offering the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB internal SSD down at $1,199 shipped, but this time in the Space Gray model Apple doesn’t even make anymore – it replaced it with the new Sky Blue variant.

This deal lands on par with the still live offer we featured previously on the Starlight model, for the record.

Pricing comparison’s and historical data on the M3 MacBook Air can be a touch complicated because the MSRP effectively dropped nearer the release of the M4 Air after Apple nixed the 8GB RAM tier. But this will simplify it for you on the 15-inch 24GB M3 MacBook Air:

• Original price: $1,899
• New list price after RAM upgrade: $1,699

That means you’re looking at $500 off the MSRP on this machine before it was replaced by the comparable 24GB/512GB M4 MacBook Air.

The 15-inch 24GB/512GB M4 MacBook Air carries a $1,599 list price (Apple dropped the MSRP by $100 this generation), and is currently on sale for $1,399.

All of that said, the most important pricing comparisons to consider are these: Today’s deal on the M3 variant is $400 under the MSRP on the M4 variantand $200 less than the deal price we have right now.

Needless to say, and considering how solid a machine the M3 model still is, today deal is very a good one, and it could still take a year or more before we see the M4 variant down at a price as low as this.

For those of you that must have the 2025 M4 Air though, deal pricing is hot right now and you’ll find it all below:

Amazon clearing out Apple Watch Ultra 2 w/ new Blood Oxygen feature at $150 off ahead of next-gen launch

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is almost certainly on the horizon ahead of next month’s usual September Apple reveals. Last year Apple decided to skip on a next-generation model in favor of the new Ultra 2 in satin black, which effectively drove deal pricing on the Natural model up along with it. However, with the next-gen on the horizon, Amazon is still clearing out its Natural titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 stock at $150 off.

There’s no denying how pricey an Apple Watch Ultra 2 can be – they were very rarely ever offered more than $100 off over the last 8 months or so. But in with the new, out with the old, and Amazon is now offering even more Natural Ultra 2 configurations with a straight up $150 price drop.

You’ll find just about all of the previous-generation Trail Loop, Ocean Band, and Alpine Loop configurations (they are the same as the latest models, just in different colors), marked down to $649 shipped right now in various sizes. These are regularly $799, current-generation flagship Apple wearables still sitting down at the best prices of the year.

All of that said, Best Buy is still offering the newer black Ultra 2 models at the same $150 off and Amazon has the more affordable Apple Watch Series 10 with at least $100 in savings right now too:

And just as a reminder, Apple recently launched a new redesigned Blood Oxygen feature for Apple Watch, and you can get all of the details on that over 9to5Mac.

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

Amazon’s big-time $900 price drop on the 32GB M2 Max Mac Studio is back at $899 (Renewed Premium)

One of the more rare Apple deals we have spotted this year, alongside some upgraded M4 MacBook Air configsyou don’t see on sale very often, is Amazon Renewed Premium offer on the M2 Max Mac Studio units down at $899 shipped. This deal popped up and sold out, and then surfaced and sold out again, but it is now back to deliver a rare Mac Studio discount at $900 off the original list price.

This particular model with the M2 Max chip, the 12-Core/30-Core setup, and 32GB of RAM first appeared in Renewed Premium condition on Amazon back in late June at $1,399 – that’s already not a bad price considering this is an originally $1,799 configuration. But it then dropped to the $899 we are seeing again here today in late July and has gone in and out of stock more than a few times since.

Today’s deal is matching the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon to date, delivering $900 in savings off the list price – it still sells for as much at retailers like Best Buy.

Needless to say this deal, much like the last couple goes around, might not stick around for very long.

If you prefer to go with a current-gen M4 Max in brand new condition, the deals are still flying right now:
