M4 Mac mini $499, 48GB MacBook Pro $300 off, more 9to5Mac

by


Alongside a host of hangover Father’s Day deals, including $100 off iPad mini 7 and the lowest prices of the year on both AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, today’s best discounts are headlined by the M4 Mac mini. The base model is now starting down at $499 with $100 in savings while upgraded models are as much as $120 off the list prices at Amazon. We also spotted a notable $300 price drop on the 48GB MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip as well as a host of charging gear and accessories waiting down below. All of that and more awaits below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

M4 Mac mini with 24GB RAM/512GB SSD just dropped even lower to $849 ($150 off), more from $499

While we are still tracking notable deals from over the weekend on the most affordable M4 Mac mini configurations from $499, Amazon has now dropped the price on the upgraded 24GB model with the 512GB SSD down even lower to $849 shipped – that’s $150 off the regular list price.

Apple and most online retailers sell the 24GB/512GB M4 Mac mini at $999, but Amazon has now knocked $150 off the list to deliver a deal price down at $849 shipped – this is the lowest price we can find online from a reputable source.

We have seen this configuration go for a touch less in a very limited Amazon sale previously – it very quickly dropped down to $842 and then to $830 for a few hours, but today’s deal is otherwise on par with the lowest we have tracked. While we have tracked a number of chances to save $100 on the Apple list prices, anything better than that has been much more rare occurrence, as we are just starting to see deals knocking anything in the $150 off range over the last month or two.

But as mentioned above, if you’re more interested in the entry-level and more affordable configurations, the deals we spotted over the weekend are still live – scope them out below and you can get additional historical pricing details on the rest of the lineup right here:

Upgrade to a 48GB M4 Pro MacBook Pro, 16-inch model now $300 off at Amazon

There are still some $150+ price dropslive on the far more affordable M4 MacBook Air lineup, but for those looking towards Apple’s more powerful higher-end machines, we just spotted a notable M4 Pro MacBook Pro offer. The 16-inch model upgraded with 48GB of RAM is now $300 off the list price in Space Black.

Amazon is now offering the 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro in Space Black with the 48GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD down at $2,599 shipped. While it has been sitting at closer to $2,699 as of late on Amazon, you’re looking at a $2,899 configuration that is now $300 off the going price.

We have seen the silver model go for less than today’s featured deal price, but the Space Black has never fallen below $2,589 at Amazon, leaving today’s $300 in savings within $10 of the Amazon all-time low.

Now a nearly $3,000 pro-grade MacBook isn’t for everyone, but for those in the market for a serious upgrade, complete with a sizable cache of RAM and Apple’s latest and greatest MacBook (outside of the even more pricey M4 Max of course), there’s some serious savings to be had here today.

You’ll otherwise want to look towards the far more affordable M4 MacBook Air deals that are currently starting from $849 or the M4 Mac mini deals we spotted over the weekend with machines now starting down at $499 shipped.

Save up to $357 off Apple’s most affordable 13-inch Space Black M4 iPad Pro today

This morning we are touching down with Apple’s premium M4 iPad Pro lineup and the most affordable 256GB model in the 13-inch lineup. Regularly $1,299, Amazon currently has this model down at $1,099 shipped for $200 in savings. We have seen a couple notable and very short-lived price drops for less than that this year (but only a couple and for not more than a few hours at a time), and now Best Buy’s open-box listing with a full Apple warranty is landing at a sizable $357 off.

At this point we are all fully aware of just how pricey Apple’s pro-grade M4 iPad models are – the most affordable 13-incher is $1,299 at the Apple store after all. That said, there are some solid $200 price drops live on Amazon right now and the Best Buy open-box program is swooping in today with a far lower price than that.

If you are willing to give the open-box treatment a look, Best Buy’s “excellent” condition Space Black 256GB M4 iPad Pro in the 13-inch form-factor is now marked down to $941.99 shipped. That’s still a sizable investment, don’t get me wrong, but we are also talking about $357 off the regular $1,299 list price here. These are the details you need to know about Best Buy’s “excellent” open-box listings:

  • Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings.

AirPods Pro 2 drop to $169 today (Reg. $249) while AirPods 4 now start down at $100

Update: As expected, Amazon has now price matched on the AirPods Pro 2 at $169.99 $169 shipped.

We are tracking solid price drops on Apple’s latest AirPods including the AirPods Pro 2 down at $169.99 shipped courtesy of Target – we expect Amazon to price match here any minute if it hasn’t already – as well as AirPods 4 starting from $99.99. While we have seen more than a few chances to score these same deals on both AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with ANC over the last couple months, deals on Apple’s pro-grade buds have been slightly less frequent in 2025.

Regularly $249, AirPods Pro 2 are now within $1 of the lowest price we have tracked in 2025 and the best price we have seen in about a month now.

As far as the regularly $129 AirPods 4 and $179 AirPods 4 with ANC, the $99.99 and $148.99 deal prices here today have been mostly par for the course in terms of discounts on Apple’s latest buds across 2025. Today’s deal on the base set comes within $1 of the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon all-time, and the ANC set is now matching the lowest price we have tracked since the brief holiday drop last year to $139.

AirPods 4 might be the newer of the two models, having been introduced last fall alongside iPhone 16 and the black Apple Watch Ultra 2, but the AirPods Pro 2 remained the more popular option among 9to5Toys readers across 2025. That said, the AirPods 4 have been picking up steam since then and are less likely to be replaced later this year, unlike the potential AirPods Pro 2 update.

Up until recently it appeared as though a 2025 AirPods Pro 3 update was all but imminent, but some of the latest reporting from our cohorts over at 9to5Mac suggest that we might not see the new set until 2026 now. 

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

Score Dad Apple Watch Series 10 while they’re still shipping at $100 off, deals from $299

The cut off time to land Dad a sweet gift for this weekend is quickly approaching, and you can still score a $100 price drop across the latest Apple Watch Series 10 lineup. Be it just as a treat or to support/encourage Dad getting back/staying in shape, just about every model and band configuration of Apple Watch Series 10 is still sitting with solid $100 price drops on Amazon right now starting at $299 shipped.

Regularly starting at $399 and $429, both the smaller 42mm and the 46mm models are now $100 off at Amazon to deliver the lowest prices we can find on brand new units. There have been a few very short-lived offers for a touch less, and deals on the higher-end titanium and GPS+Cell variants with deeper deals (details on those below), but most folks will do just fine with the base aluminum models:

Now, if you’re really looking to treat Dad, there are some ongoing offers on the titanium case models that can also be connected to cellular plans for always-connected setups. Again, the base models above are likely just fine, and the deals aren’t quite as deep on these models as they once were, but just in case you’re interested in the premium variants, you’ll find them all right here.
