The Apple deals are bursting at the seams today. Alongside the ongoing pre-order deals on the new iPad (A16) at up to 50% off, the M3 iPad Air at up to $650 off with trades, and the M4 MacBook Air from $449 (as well as the straight up cash deals on much of it you’ll find below), today’s headliner deal delivers the best prices ever now live on the latest Apple Watch Series 10. All models including the base configs, GPS + Cell variants, and the high-end titanium case models are now $100 off at Amazon, delivering the lowest prices we have tracked to date. Those offers join AirPods Pro 2 down at $170, Amazon clearance pricing on M2 MacBook Air models at up to $600 off the original prices, and the now live 3-day Apple sale event at Best Buy – iPad Pro M2 $900 off, AirPods Pro 2, HomePod mini, M4 MacBook Pro, more. All of that and more awaits below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Apple Watch Series 10 just hit its best price ever at Amazon, now $100 off with deals from $299 (All colors)
Prime Day couldn’t do it. Black Friday 2024 couldn’t do it. But we are now finally seeing straight up $100 price drops on Apple Watch Series 10 to deliver the lowest prices we have ever tracked on brand-new units. Amazon is now offering 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 in all three colors down at $299 shipped and 46mm models down at $329 shipped. Regularly $399 and $429, respectively, you’re looking at $100 price drops to deliver new Amazon all-time lows and the best prices we have tracked to date.
Before today, both of the base model Series 10 variants had never gone for more than $70 off, outside of extremely limited in-store only offers (that just about no one had a shot at). Today’s deal marks the very first time you can order any of the three colorways in both sizes at $100 off the list prices. If you have been holding off scoring a new Series 10, now’s as good a time as any to land one – current-gen Apple Watch units historically almost never drop more than $100 until right before the new models release.
These $100 discounts are available on the base GPS/Wi-Fi models as well as the upgraded GPS+Cell variants:
The all-time low pricing has also now hit the high-end titanium case Apple Watch Series 10 models as well:

Latest AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C MagSafe charging case and nod gestures drop to $170 at Amazon today (Reg. $149)
While we did see some wild deals on the latest AirPods Pro 2 with the USB-C MagSafe charging case over Black Friday last year in the $154 range for a week or so, Amazon just brought back the holiday pricing and one of the best prices of the year at $169.99 shipped. Regularly $249, this is 32% or $79 off the flagship Apple buds.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 dropped down to $154 for Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year – that was the lowest price we have ever tracked for them all-time. But on either side of that deal, in the lead up to Black Friday and then again just ahead of Christmas 2024, we were seeing the same $169 and $169.99 we have here today. There was a quick drop to $169 about a month ago in early February and we are once again seeing a price very close to that here today.
While the AirPods 4 – currently starting from $117 at Amazon – did arrive last September, the annual early fall Apple event came and went without a new set of AirPods Pro 3. That leaves the set we have here today as the latest and greatest pro-grade buds – they were one of, if not, the most popular product among 9to5Toys readers last year.
3-day Apple sale event now live! iPad Pro M2 $900 off, AirPods Pro 2, HomePod mini, M4 MacBook Pro, more
It has already been a busy day in Apple gear deals with a new all-time low on Apple Watch Series 10 at $100 off, AirPods Pro 2 down at $170, and the very first cash deals on the new M3 iPad Air pre-orders, but we aren’t anywhere near done yet. Best Buy has now launched one of its wide-ranging 3-day Apple sales event running from through this weekend, and much of the prices are now matching over at Amazon – some of them are even lower there. This includes deals on AirPods Pro 2, the now previous-generation iPad 10, M4 MacBook Pro models, $100+ off all M4 iMac configs, and much more. Let’s scope out the details below.
The Best Buy sale is now live, but there are some things to keep in mind – many of the deals are even lower at Amazon right now. For example, the price drops on the M4 iMacs – they are $100 off at Best Buy but you can score most configurations for even less than that at Amazon right now. The same goes for the base model M4 MacBook Pro as it is now $200 off at Amazon instead of the $100 off at Best Buy. The same goes for the now previous-gen iPad 10 (here are the first cash deals on the new iPad A16) – it is $279 at Best Buy but Amazon just dropped it to $260.
With all of that said, let’s take a look at the best prices for the standout gear in the sale:
Now there does happen to be a couple deals you’ll find at Best Buy that aren’t available at Amazon, not many, but there are some. Firstly, you can score the blue Apple HomePod mini down at $79.99 shipped from the regular $99 – this is deal is not up for grabs at Amazon, is the lowest we can find, and pricing rarely ever drops lower than this.
Another example of a notable deal in the Best Buy offerings is the previous-generation 2TB 11-Inch iPad Pro (4th Gen) with the M2 chip – Best Buy tends to always have the best prices on these previous-gen iPad Pros. This actually happens to be part of its Deals of the Day (it will only be around for today only), but you can score the originally $1,899 tablet down at $999 shipped, or $900 off the original price. That might seem like a lot for a previous iPad despite the deep sale price, and it very much is, just keep in mind a 2TB M4 iPad Pro sells for $1,999.
Amazon now offers all-time low clearance pricing on 16GB M2 MacBook Air models at $699 ($600 off orig. price)
It’s MacBook Air week after the unleashing of the brand new M4-equipped model and that sweet new Sky Blue colorway. We are already tracking some major saving opportunities and the new M4 models, but with the launch of the latest comes some serious clearance pricing on the previous models. We detailed some big-time deals on the 24GB M3 models yesterday (select colorways of the base model are now down to $799 all-time lows) at up to $500 off the original prices, but for folks not bothered with the prices on the brand new models, Amazon just dropped the M2 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM to a new all-time low at $699 shipped.
The M2 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM launched at $1,299, then dropped to $999 when Apple upgraded its Mac lineup with 16GB of RAM on the base models – the M2 also saw this upgrade despite being a previous-generation machine at the time – and has more recently been carrying a regular price at up to $949. That means today’s deal has the M2 model at $300 under the list price on the comparable M4 model and lands at $600 under the original price.
There’s no denying this machine is a couple generations back now and we wouldn’t blame you for side-stepping in favor of the newer M3 model starting at $799 (most colors are at $899) or even the brand new M4 model from $999, especially if you have an older Air to trade in against it. But for folks just looking for a casual browsing machine that’s still perfectly capable for social media, watching videos, and video chatting – it also lands with Apple Intelligence compatibility, the $699 we have here today is a seriously notable price tag for a brand-new condition unit.
