M3 iPad Air, Apple Watch Ultra 3, ZAGG Pro 2 Pencil, more 9to5Mac

For today 9to5Toys Lunch break is ready to start with a particularly noteworthy deal on this 512GB 13-inch M3 iPad Air – these things rarely get better than $150 off, but this one $250 off right now if you hurry. We also saw an opportunity for people to get their hands on the latest black Apple Watch Ultra 3 $159 discount the current list price alongside the image in progress on the Jet Black Apple Watch Series 11 at $100 off. Up front we have the new colors of the Apple Crossbody Strap coming up 60% discountanother ZAGG’s magnetic Pro 2 Apple Pencil at $30 (Reg. $80), and a special deal on SANDMARC’s new 24x zoom Tetraprism 72mm iPhone Lens. Check it all out below.

A massive $250 discount brings Amazon’s lowest prices on this 512GB 13-inch M3 iPad Air today, up from $489

You’ll find several deals on the base M3 iPad Air model for up to $120 off list prices on Amazon right now, but we just saw a particularly notable discount on the 13-inch 512GB model. $250 off list price – the M3 iPad is rarely discounted like this.

Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest 13-inch M3 iPad Air with 512GB storage and Wi-Fi + Cell connectivity at $999.99 shipped. This is a $1,249 standard configuration for $250 off the list price. This deal matches the lowest price we’ve tracked for this particular model and a deal we saw once earlier today on Amazon.

As is often the case with these rare and deep discounts on the latest iPad Air lineup, the special price above is only available on the gray color option at this time. And if deals like the ones we’ve seen before are any indication, it’ll remain the only color option that drops this far today, and it probably won’t last too long.

Also, there’s a solid $120 price drop live on the cheapest Wi-Fi-only models, including the least expensive 128GB variant, but grabbing any of those for close to $250 off in brand new condition is close to unheard of. These basic models broke $150 on Black Friday and the holidays last year, and they probably don’t sell for any better than that.

Here’s a look at where the prices currently sit for those models:

Deals on brand new Apple Watch Ultra 3 models are always easy on Amazon and across major retailers, but there are some serious deals to be had. You’ll find some price drops at Amazon right now, but nothing nearly as deep as the “pretty good” open box and “pretty well made” options at Best Buy right now. Details below.

First, let’s look at the “best” open-box units with 1-year warranties that ship directly from Best Buy – prices have dropped or are within a few dollars previously mentioned in various configurations. Prices aren’t as low as the upgrade options below, but you’ll get a 1-year warranty here:

Here are some additional details on this open-ended box list from Best Buy:

• Geek squad confirmed
• Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings.
• Includes all parts and accessories. Packaging may or may not be available.
• 1 year Apple warranty

For an even lower price, you’ll want to check out the top-rated retailer’s Network Store through Best Buy. Almost all Ultra 3 black configurations now see deeper deals than we previously mentioned until $159 discount:

Amazon has the Black/Natural Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $360 orig. price (Renewed Premium)

Amazon is now offering the first few Apple Watch Ultra 2 configurations for $799$439 shipped currently – Natural Titanium with a blue Ocean Band, Natural Titanium with a white Ocean Band, and a Black Titanium and Black Ocean Band model. Check out the Amazon Renewed Premium units with 365-day coverage as well.

Originally $799, all three of these models are $360 off list prices and less than any of the deals we’ve tracked in brand-new condition. There have been several opportunities to get the Ultra 2 for $250 off in brand new condition, and you can still grab the setup for that price right now ($549), but anything more than that isn’t likely anytime soon.

We’ve caught some rebranded Apple Watch Ultra 2 deals recently for a touch less than this, but the deals we have here are shipped and sold directly from Amazon with “365-day refunds/exchanges.” The previous offer was legit, but the direct option from Amazon might give some people a lot more peace of mind than the refurbished Grade A units from Woot – some of these models are $400 lower.

And for the sake of comparison, we’ll break down the current prices on Apple’s latest Ultra 3. The new prices on Amazon are still relatively light discounts, but you can get several savings for $154 off list prices courtesy of Best Buy’s “best of” open box units right now.
