Deals: AirPods Pro 2 50% off (refurb), M4 MacBook Air $180 off, iPhone 16 Pro Max up to $399 off, more

Today’s deals feature the return of $180 in savings on the latest Midnight 15-inch M4 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM, but we are first starting off with AirPods. Alongside the ongoing deals on AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods from $99, we also spotted a chance to grab Apple’s latest pro-grade buds at 50% off the list price courtesy of Best Buy’s in-house refurbishment program. From there we move over to iPhone – you can still score $400 off iPhone 16 Pro, but today we spotted iPhone 16 Pro Max refurbs at up to $399 off. All of that and more awaits below. 

Best Buy refurb AirPods Pro 2 now nearly 50% off the list price with $125 in savings, more from $90

We wanted to shine some extra light on the ongoing AirPods Pro 2 deal at $169, down from the regular $249, as well as the AirPods 4 offers that are still starting from $99. These are indeed matching the lowest new prices we have tracked this year online, but if you’re looking to save even more, there are some notable Best Buy refurbished listings now live for all three sets that are delivering as much as $125 off the Apple list prices. All of the details await below.

As we mentioned above, all three sets (AirPods Pro and the two AirPods 4 models) are now sitting at the lowest prices of the year in brand new condition. In fact, the base model AirPods 4 without the ANC action are matching the lowest we have tracked on Amazon all-time. You really can’t go wrong with any of these prices if you’re not interested in taking the Best Buy refurb route:

• AirPods Pro 2 $169 (Reg. $249)
• AirPods 4 $99 (Reg. $129)
• AirPods 4 with ANC $149 (Reg. $179)

However, if you are considering the additional savings now live courtesy of Best Buy’s in-house Geek Squad refurbished units, the prices are certainly lower. As you can see below, the real highlight here is the $125 in savings on the AirPods Pro 2 and the AirPods 4 with ANC – we don’t particularly recommend the base model AirPods 4 refurb deal here at only $9 under the price of a new set (but it is less cash nonetheless):

• Best Buy refurb AirPods Pro 2 $125 (Reg. $249 new)
• Best Buy refurb AirPods 4 $90 (Reg. $129)
• Best Buy refurb AirPods 4 with ANC $115 (Reg. $179)

These units are covered under Best Buy’s Return & Exchange Promise, include a 90-day warranty, and “are thoroughly, painstakingly and lovingly tested, so you can be sure that your device will work right, right away.”

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

Save $180 on the Midnight 15-inch M4 MacBook Air w/ 24GB of RAM at $1,419, more from $849

While we are still tracking $150price drops across the latest Apple M4 MacBook Air lineup, the fluctuating deal pricing has finally simmered down. The most affordable 13- and 15-inch models are still $150 off at $849 and $1,049, but we wanted to shine a light on the one configuration that happens to be seeing an even better deal than that right now – the 24GB 15-inch M4 MacBook Air in Midnight that is $180 off.

The 13-inch model is, in general, a more popular option for folks who prefer the compact form-factor and, more likely, the lower price point. Deals are still flying on all models, but for those looking for an upgraded experience with an extra boost in RAM horsepower and some additional screen real-state will want to take note of the deal we are featuring here today.

Amazon now has the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air with the upgraded 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,419 shipped. Only the Midnight colorway is down this low right now – the rest are all sitting at $1,449.

Today’s deal is $180 off the $1,599 list price and matching the lowest price we have ever tracked on this configuration. It is, in fact, the lowest price we have tracked on any 15-inch 24GB M4 MacBook Air outside of quick drop on the Starlight model earlier this month.

But for those looking for a different color or size configuration, here’s how pricing works out across the rest of the lineup:

• 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB from $850 (Reg. $999)
• 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB from $1,049 (Reg. $1,199)
• 13-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB from $1,249 (Reg. $1,399)
• 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB from $1,049 (Reg. $1,199)
• 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB from $1,249 (Reg. $1,399)
• 15-inch M4 MacBook Air 24GB/512GB from $1,419 (Reg. $1,599)

Unlocked iPhone 16 Pro Max units now up to $399 off in ‘exceptionally refurbished’ condition (1-yr. warranty)

While we are still tracking a notable $400 price drop on unlocked iPhone 16 Pro units courtesy of the official Amazon Renewed Premium program, deals on the 16 Pro Max straight from Amazon are much harder to come by (most of the listings come from third-party sellers). However, over at Amazon’s deal site Woot, we are now tracking as much as $399 in savings on iPhone 16 Pro Max in “exceptionally refurbished” condition with a 1-year warranty. Details below.

Firstly, these listings include all three storage capacities with varying degrees of color options on each. Here’s how the pricing works out compared to buying a brand new unlocked unit from Apple:

• iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB $1,030 (Reg. $1,199)
• iPhone 16 Pro Max 512GB $1,150 (Reg. $1,399)
• iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB $1,200 (Reg. $1,599)

Clearly the 1TB model is seeing the deepest savings here at $399 less than the price of purchasing a brand new unit from Apple.

Now let’s talk warranty and the details on the refurbishment. Woot says these phones “are Exceptionally Refurbished and have minimal marks or scratches when held at arms length.”

They also arrive with a test sticker showing at least 95% battery life and fewer than 100 battery cycles. They ship in plain white packaging and include a 1-year vendor warranty.

While there is something to be said for the experience of un-boxing a brand new iPhone 16 Pro Max straight from Apple, there’s also something to be said for hundreds in savings. As of right now, it remains the current-generation model and deals can be extremely hard to come by – almost non-existent in new condition and just about never this low. Unless you’re going to wait well into the next-generation, these refurbished deals are likely to be the best chance to save.

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:

• 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 $299 (Reg. $399)
• 46mm Apple Watch Series 10 $329 (Reg. $429)
• 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 GPS + Cell $389 (Reg. $499)
• 46mm Apple Watch Series 10 GPS + Cell $419 (Reg. $529)

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.

Most affordable iPad mini 7 just dropped back to Amazon low at $399 ($100 off), more

The Apple deals are already flying this morning before we head into the weekend, and next up is the latest iPad mini 7 lineup. Alongside deals on AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 4, and iPad A16 (and much more right here), Amazon has once again brought back its all-time low pricing across Apple’s ultra-compact series 7 iPad mini lineup with deals starting from $399 shipped.

While there are a few colors in the lineup yet to drop back to Amazon lows this morning, just about everything is now $100 off. The regularly $499 128GB model is $399, the $599 mid-range 256GB has fallen to $499, and the maxed-out 512GBvariant has also dropped $100 to land at $699 shipped.

• iPad mini A17 Pro 128GB $399 (Reg. $499)
• iPad mini A17 Pro 256GB $499 (Reg. $599)
• iPad mini A17 Pro 512GB $699 (Reg. $799)

These deals are also matching the lowest prices we have tracked on Amazon to date, outside of a couple outlier configurations that have seen very short-lived dips a touch lower – the 256GB variant has fallen to $489, for example. It is also worth noting that Costco members were privy to as much as $144 in savings on select upgraded configs, but those deals have all come and gone (at the time of writing).

For me, and I think most folks, it is really all about the entry-level model here. The upgraded storage capacity is always a welcomed addition, but most users aren’t leveraging a mini as a work station, so you might as well save the cash and just offload data through the USB-C port, right? Perhaps that’s just me, but either way the deals are flying today and likely though the weekend on Apple’s latest iPad mini 7 – the most affordable model in the current-generation lineup compatible with Apple Intelligence.
