Big $250 off Amazon low prices on this 512GB 13-inch iPad Air M3 today, up from $489

You can find several configurations of the base model M3 iPad Air up to $120 off list price on Amazon right now, but we happened to spot a particularly steep discount on this 13-inch 512GB model. $250 discount list price – The iPad M3 is rarely discounted like this.

Amazon is now offering the latest 13-inch Apple iPad Air M3 with 512GB storage and Wi-Fi + Cell connectivity at $999.99 shipped. It’s a $1,249 regular configuration for less than $250 off list price. This offer matches the lowest price we’ve seen for this particular model, and an offer we’ve only seen once on Amazon today.

As is usually the case with these particularly rare and deep discounts on the latest iPad Air range, the above special promotional price is now only available for the gray variant. And if the deals we’ve seen before are any indication, this will remain the only colorway to drop this low today, and it probably won’t last too long.

Again, there have been some solid $120 price drops on the most affordable Wi-Fi-only models, including the cheapest 128GB variant, but nabbing any of these anywhere near $250 brand new is almost unheard of. These entry-level models were $150 off for Black Friday and the holidays last year, and they almost never go on sale for anything better.

Here’s a look at where deal prices are landing on these models right now:

Deals on the brand new Apple Watch Ultra 3 models remain relatively low on Amazon and from all major retailers, but there are still some deep deals to be had. You’ll find price drops on Amazon right now, but nothing nearly as deep as the “excellent” open box and “excellent refurbished” options at Best Buy right now. Details below.

First, let’s look at the “excellent” condition, 1-year warranty, opened units shipped directly from Best Buy – prices have dropped or are within a few bucks since our previous mention of various configurations. Prices aren’t as low as the refurb options below, but you get a 1-year warranty here:

Here are some more details on these top open listings from Best Buy:

Today’s accessory and charging deals:

Amazon has the Black/Natural Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $360 off original. price (renewed premium)

Amazon is now offering several originally configured Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $799$439 shipped right now – Natural Titanium with Blue Ocean Band, Natural Titanium with White Ocean Band and Black Titanium model with Black Ocean Band. You are also looking at Amazon Renewed Premium units with 365 days coverage.

Originally $799, all three of these models are $360 below list prices and well below all the deals we’ve tracked in brand new condition. There have been a few opportunities to get the Ultra 2 for $250 off in brand new condition, and you can still get some configurations for that price right now ($549), but anything much more than that is unlikely anytime soon.

We’ve recently spotted some notable deals on refurbished Apple Watch Ultra 2 watches, but the deals we have here are shipped and sold directly from Amazon with a “365-day refund/exchange”. The previous deals were legit, but the direct-from-Amazon option might give some people a lot more peace of mind than the refurbished Class A units from Woot — some of those models were as low as $400.

And just for comparison, we’re discounting the current sale prices on Apple’s latest Ultra 3. The new prices on Amazon are still relatively mild discounts, but you can find several configurations for $154 off list prices thanks to Best Buy’s “excellent” condition open units right now.
