Amazon is now offering the 13-inch 512GB M3 iPad Air with the cell upgrade down at $999.68 shipped. This is a $1,249 configuration at just over $249 off the list price to deliver a new Amazon all-time low.
As of right now, and as has been the case with most of this week's particularly notable iPad Air deals, this deal is only live on one color, the Starlight model - a color that has really started to grow on me across 2025. That said, none of the other color options are down this low right now or have ever been down this low on Amazon since release earlier this past spring.
Just about all M3 iPad Air configurations were $150 off for Prime Day last week, the model featured here this morning included. When it comes to the most affordable base models, that's about as good as it has gotten. But as alluded to above and as exemplified by our coverage this week, a number of the upgraded configurations in select colors are starting to undercut the deals we spotted for Prime Day to land at new Amazon all-time lows and this 512GB 13-inch is exactly that.
The M3 iPad Air lineup more than likely won't see a refresh until spring 2026 at this point, but even then the M3 iPad Air will remain a great better-than-mid-range tablet in my opinion. The difference between it and the M2 isn't exactly glaring and chances are the same will ring true when Apple presumably injects the lineup with an M4 chip next March.
While Amazon's launch deals on brand new Apple Watch Ultra 3 configs are still alive and well, we have another in-stock open-box deal joining this Natural Titanium Ocean Band config we featured previously - this time on the black Ultra 3with the all-new Trail Loop.
Amazon is still offering $20 off several configurations for folks who must have one now and must have one in brand new condition:
But for looking to score one this week without paying as much, Best Buy's open-box deal on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with the Natural Titanium case and the Anchor Blue Ocean Band is still live at $700.99 shipped, and we just spotted another one.
Best Buy is offering "excellent" condition open-box units on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with the black titanium case and the new Black/Charcoal Trail Loop down at $709.99 shipped. That's $89 off and you will find a "Good" unit down as low as $677.99 shipped, or $121 off the $799 list price.
We generally recommend the "excellent" condition units when it comes to Best Buy open-box listings just because you'll be getting the best possible condition, but they both ship with a full 1-year Apple warranty and come covered under Best Buy's return policy. Here are the differences according to Best Buy:
Apple Watch Ultra 3 now features built-in satellite communications, multiday battery life, and the largest, brightest display in an Apple Watch. It also delivers advanced metrics, Custom Workouts, dual-frequency GPS, and invaluable health insights like hypertension notifications and sleep score. It's not called Ultra for nothing.
The best value in Mac is back. Amazon just brought back the Prime Day price on the most affordable M4 Mac mini at $499 shipped to deliver $100 in savings and a price on par with the lowest we have tracked in nearly 5 months.
Amazon is now offering the 16GB M4 Mac mini with the 256GB internal SSD down at $499 shipped once again. Regularly $599 and already one of the best bang for your buck Mac purchases you can make, this is $100 off and on par with the Prime Day price Amazon offered last week.
We have seen this deal a number of times now, but the fact that you can even buy a 16GB Mac for under $500 is still a bit shocking to me. There's no denying the value on this machine.
The M5 chip has arrived in all its glory, and it is perhaps only a matter of time before the Mac mini gets one. But Apple did skip the M3 on the mini entirely and there's hasn't been much in the way of rumors pointing towards an M5 Mac mini refresh as of yet - the chances of seeing one this year are slim to none.
At this point you're going to need to spend at least $1,599 to land an M5 chip inside a Mac at this point. That is of course an entirely portable MacBook Pro and not something you can directly compare to a Mac mini. But we are still talking about a machine that runs (just about) all the same apps, the same macOS, and so forth for $1,100 less right now - you could buy three M4 Mac mini machines for less than the price of the new M5 MacBook Pro. Again, there's no real comparison here...just saying.
