While are still tracking some massive trade-in savings and straight up cash deals for Best Buy members on the new M3 iPad Air up to $650 off and the new new iPad (A16) from just $174, we also spotted some major savings on the brand new M4 MacBook Air late yesterday afternoon. Best Buy members can get $50 off all configurations but a M2 or M3 Air trade-in can net you up to $550 in savings. All of that said, folks who don’t have anything to trade-in against the affordable new iPad (A16) will now find the first straight up cash deals now live from $329 at Amazon alongside the return of Black Friday pricing on the M4 MacBook Pro lineup and clearance deals on the 24GB M3 MacBook Air models at up to $500 off the original prices. All of that and more awaits below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Very first straight up cash deal hits brand-new 11-inch iPad (A16) at Amazon from $329, or from $174 with trade
We have already detailed some serious opportunities to score a major price drop on the new iPad (A16)for folks looking to trade up from the previous iPad 10th Generation model – you can score the new model as low as $174 or 50% off (and that’s just a 64GB iPad 10). But for those who don’t have a machine to trade-in, Amazon is now offering the first straight up cash deals on the new 11-inch iPad down at $329 shipped.
After Apple issued an official price drop on the now previous-generation iPad 10th Generation last May, falling from $449 down to $349, it has decided to carry over the lower MSRP to its new iPad 11 while doubling the storage, for iPad (A16) as it is officially known.
That means today’s Amazon deal is really only offering a $20 discount, and only on the silver and blue models, but this is indeed the lowest price we have tracked to date on pre-orders for folks without a trade-in to leverage against the new Apple tablet.
New M4 MacBook Air starts at $999, but Amazon is clearing out 24GB M3 models today at $500 off the original price
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.
While the most affordable M3 models are still at $200 off the new list prices (or $400 off the original prices), the 24GB configurations on both the 13-inch and 15-inch models have now dropped another $100 for the best prices ever:
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 $899 (Reg. $1,099, Orig. $1,299)
- 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,099 (Reg. $1,299, Orig. $1,499)
- 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB $1,199 (Reg. $1,499, Orig. $1,699)
- 15-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB $1,099 (Reg. $1,299, Orig. $1,499)
- 15-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,249 (Reg. $1,499, Orig. $1,699)
- 15-inch M3 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB $1,399 (Reg. $1,699, Orig. $1,899)
Most affordable M4 iPad Pro returns to $849 Black Friday price at $150 off, more at $200 off
While we have already featured some notable pre-order savings opportunities on the brand new iPad (A16) from just $174 as well as the M3 iPad Air at up to $650 off with trades or $50 off without, but today we spotted another chance to save on the M4 Pro models. Apple’s latest iPad Pro models remain the only SKU in the product family to host its state-of-the-art M4 series chip, and Amazon has now brought back its Black Friday pricing on the most affordable models – you can score the 256GB 11-inch M4 iPad Pro down at $849 shipped, or $150 off. The price will automatically update in the cart.
The brand new, and potentially ultra-affordable iPad (A16), and perhaps even more so the new M3 iPad Air pre-order deals might be an enticing proposition for folks, especially considering they were just revealed this week. But if you’re looking to go pro, today’s M4 deals are where it’s at.
Here’s how the deals shake out across the lineup currently (these prices have now been updated at the time of writing):
M4 iPad Pro 11-inch
M4 iPad Pro 13-inch
Amazon now offering new all-time low on unlocked iPhone 15 Pro Max at $588 off (Premium Renewed, 1-yr. warranty)
While we are still tracking deep deals at up to $480 off the original prices on the iPhone 15 Pro, Amazon just dropped its 512GB Renewed Premium iPhone 15 Pro Max listing down to a $811.38 shipped all time low. You’re looking at an originally $1,399 configuration at $588 less today in Amazon Premium Renewed condition to deliver the best price we have ever tracked on this model.
Today’s deal is only available on the dark blue titanium colorway – the rest are roughly $100 more or so, but this is a seriously notable price for an unlocked iPhone 15 Pro Max – it is now going for less than the 15 Pro deal we featured recently.
Today’s accessories and charging deals:
Apple’s 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 48GB of RAM is over $300 off today at Amazon
Some folks are just fine with a new 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro, and understandably so – they are after all shipping with double the RAM these days. However, if you’re looking for some extra real-state and some serious horsepower under the hood without spending anywhere near M4 Max money, Amazon is now offering the 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 48GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $2,593 shipped – that’s over $300 off and within a couple bucks of the best price ever.
This 16-inch 48GB configuration regularly fetches a $2,899 list price, leaving you with $306 in savings here to deliver one of the best prices ever – we did see one color drop to $2,591 for quick day or so, but this is on par with the best ever otherwise.
