today’s 9to5Toys lunch break is now ready to go. Next to ongoing 100 dollars price drops across the Apple Watch Series 11 range with deals from 299 dollarswe’re also tracking Amazon’s new all-time low on AirTag at 17 dollars as well as 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max at $611 discount original listing courtesy of Amazon’s premium program. We also have a chance to get an almost 13-inch M5 iPad Pro 1TB model $400 offiPad mini deals and the best price ever on an Apple Crossbody Strap in Black. Check it all out below.
The AirTag just hit an all-time low on Amazon for $17 — 41% less than the AirTag 2
Apple released the new AirTag 2 with some meaningful, if not particularly exciting, upgrades. Now available at the same list prices as the previous model – one for 29 dollars or four for 99 dollarsbut Amazon is now offering some of the best prices ever on the original model from just $17 Prime shipped.
Amazon now offers the original AirTag down to $17 with free shipping for Prime members or on orders over $35. That’s 41% off both the original list price of $29 and the price of a single AirTag 2. It’s also the lowest price we’ve ever seen on Amazon for a single AirTag.
A 4-pack of original AirTags is now marked up to $64 shipped. Regularly $99, similar to the new model 4-pack, that’s 35% off the sticker price and the lowest price we can find. At 35% off, you’re looking at the lowest price we’ve seen on Amazon outside of Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025 deals, which dropped to $62.99.
While the new AirTag 2 may not come with some exciting new feature that everyone is talking about, it does have more than a few meaningful improvements over the original, as detailed in our comparison article here.
Here are some of the main differences:
- Second generation Ultra Wideband chip
- Watching 1.5x from the father than the original
- Apple Watch support
- 50% louder speaker
That’s certainly a good thing, but there are also a number of aspects that are exactly the same, including the same battery life, nearly identical design (besides the literal fine print), and of course the MSRP. The new one is clearly better, but if you’re a casual user and maybe need to pick up a few, the prices are now much lower than the original.
AirTag 2 vs AirTag: Here’s everything new
Apple Now Selling Refurbished iPhone 16, But Amazon’s Refurbished Units Are Slightly Less – 16 Pro Max 1TB Now $611 Off
As you could see recently at the address 9 to 5 MacApple has just started offering refurbished iPhone 16 series devices in its online store. Thing is, you can rate Amazon Renewed Premium units with a one-year warranty for much less. This 1TB Black Titanium iPhone 16 Pro Max is now $611 discount original price on Amazon. Details below.
Amazon is now offering refurbished iPhone 16 Pro Max premium units with 1TB storage $987.47 shipped. This is an unlocked unit that carried a list price of $1,599 in brand new condition – that’s about $2 off the lowest we’ve ever seen on Amazon.
While the newly offered refurbished Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max units are up for grabs, you can’t even get 512GB for that low a price. The 256GB model costs $929 from Apple, while the 512GB model costs $1,099 – at the time of writing, they don’t offer 1TB models.
Yes, they come directly from Apple and it’s no longer trustworthy, but Amazon’s premium refurbished listings shipped from and through Amazon are easily the next best thing we’ve come across. And they are also significantly cheaper than Apple.
Amazon Renewed Premium – The best way to get an iPhone deal, now up to $880 for Black Friday weekend
This 13-inch M5 iPad Pro 1TB model is nearly $400 off today (“Excellent” – Refurbished)
We’ve spotted a few chances to score deep discounts on the latest iPad Pro M5 this week – you’ll find them below, but this morning we also spotted a chance to save nearly $400 on “excellent” condition refurbished units through Best Buy – this is the 13-inch 1TB cell model.
At Best Buy, you’ll find a well-known chain store that sells the silver 13-inch iPad Pro M5 with 1 TB of storage and an upgrade to $1,699.97 shipped. This refurbished unit has a brand new list price of $2,099 and is now close to $400 off.
Yes, this is a refurbished unit, but given how expensive these M5 iPad Pro machines can be, we wanted to at least make sure this option was on the table for people willing to fork over an extra $399.
This model, while currently full price on Amazon, has seen a few offers in new condition, but nothing like what we have here today. The Space Black or Silver variants have never dropped below $1,943 on Amazon.
These refurbished units are subject to Best Buy’s return and exchange policy, should they have any problems, and come with Apple’s “one (1) year limited warranty,” according to the listing.
Today’s accessory and charging deals:
Latest iPad mini now $100 off, all colors drop to $399 for most affordable model
Earlier this week, we spotted some select iPad mini configurations discounted to $99 via Amazon , and while some of the upgraded storage configurations are now available for longer, all colors of the most affordable model are now $100 off.
Amazon is now offering the latest 128GB iPad mini 7 from Apple $399 shipped. This includes all four color shades: blue, purple, space gray and star.
Regularly $499, that’s a direct $100 price drop and, barring a brief $390 offer on the blue model, it’s on par with the lowest price of the year.
Today’s deal is on par with the price we saw for Black Friday 2025. There were a few chances to get these machines for $120 off, mostly during Prime Day events, as well as an extremely brief all-time low of $150 off, but that was a very short-lived Cyber Monday deal that barely lasted a full 24 hours.
As mentioned above, some of the 256GB storage colors have now jumped in price, but at the time of writing, prices elsewhere in the lineup are still current by $100:
Big $300 price drop hits latest Apple MacBook Pro M5: 24GB and 32GB models
This week brings the best prices we’ve seen yet for Apple’s latest MacBook Pro M5 series. Leading the line 300 dollars price drops at B&H on select configurations, we’re looking at prices that undercut nearly every deal we’ve seen this Black Friday season, including Amazon.
In addition to the 24GB model with 512GB SSD you see in the listing below that we featured yesterday, there are also a pair of upgraded models with 32GB RAM setups that are now $300 below list price at Apple and elsewhere:
It’s worth noting that while Amazon offers as much as $200 off the configuration it carries doesn’t offer either of those particular setups—there are no 32GB models available on Amazon, and only the 24GB setup is much more expensive with a 1TB SSD.
This is where B&H really shines when it comes to the MacBook. It offers really great deals on configurations that you would normally have to go directly to Apple for in many cases. While retailers like Amazon tend to stay quite competitive and often have lower prices for the configurations they carry, these are deals you just won’t get there.
That means Amazon’s M5 MacBook deals have reached a maximum discount of $250 so far — that’s the deal we featured during the holiday season at the end of 2025. And that leaves B&H’s deals right now to be some of, if not, the best we’ve tracked if you’re interested in these RAM/storage bundles.
