Your Friday edition of the best Apple deals is starting off with a straight up $200 price drop on the 13-inch 512GB M4 iPad Pro in Space Black – but you can also score this one a $345 off in open-box condition with a full Apple warranty. Then it’s on to the new M4 MacBook Air lineup – some new all-time lows have hit alongside the $110 off open-box deals – as well as a series of particularly notable accessory deals. We have an exclusive 50% off all Burton Goods leather iPhone cases and wallets alongside new lows on Twelve South’s latest 15W 2-in-1 Butterfly MagSafe travel charger, Find My gear, chargers, and more.
Amazon drops the 512GB 13-inch M4 iPad Pro to $1,300, but you can score an open-box unit with full warranty at $345 off too
While we are still tracking one of the best deals we have spotted to date on the most affordable 11-inch model as “excellent condition” open-box units with full warranties dropped to $820 yesterday, Amazon also just knocked nearly $200 off the 512GB 13-inch M4 iPad Pro in brand-new condition. This is very close to the best deal we have tracked this year while ending somewhat of a drought in notable, straight cash discounts on the M4 Pro lineup. Details below.
Amazon is now offering the 512GB 13-inch M4 iPad Pro down at $1,299.99 shipped in Space Black. This is $199 off the regular $1,499 list price and within $1 of the best deal we have tracked all year. This is in fact very close to the best price we have ever tracked since the latest M4 Pro lineup debuted last May – there were a couple drops to $1,150 at Amazon, but they didn’t last for more than a couple hours each.
The only deal we can find for less on this model that we would actually recommend right now comes by way of an “excellent condition” open-box listing at Best Buy. It ships with a full 1-year Apple warranty and is currently selling for $1,154.99 shipped, or $345 off the regular $1,499 list price.
There’s nothing quite like a shiny brand new M4 iPad Pro, especially this model, but it’s hard to deny the serious savings on this option considering it comes with the full warranty, all of the accessories, Geek Squad verification, and in the best condition Best Buy offers for an open-box unit.
I also want to quickly highlight this particular configuration, whichever purchase option you might go with. For me, the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro with the 512GB of storage is the very best model. Not the most expensive, or the most affordable, but the best. The 512GB of storage is right down the middle – not so much that you’re paying an absolute fortune, but also not the entry model either. This is the 13-incher too – Apple’s thinnest tablet ever (it is even thinner than the 11-inch). So you’re scoring a config with a storage setup hitting right in the sweet spot on what is for me (and many others) the nicest tablet ever made.
Upgraded 24GB M4 MacBook Air hits new Amazon low from $1,329, more from $890
While the M4 MacBook Air open-box deals with full Apple warranties are (mostly) still live over at Best Buy, we did spot a couple of new all-time low deals at Amazon this morning for folks who prefer a brand-new unit. While you’ll still find the most affordable 16GB/256GB model starting from $949, or $50 off, some of upgraded configurations have now dropped even lower to deliver the best new prices we have tracked to date. Details below.
The new all-time low pricing we spotted this morning is limited to a few colors on the upgraded 13-inch 24GB model and the 15-inch variant with the upgraded 512GB internal SSD:
As you can see above, these two options are the lowest prices we have tracked online to date for these particular configurations. They are also very close in price right now – for me, I’d take the more compact 13-incher with the 24GB of RAM, but for folks who need the extra screen real estate it’s hard to go wrong with the 15-inch deal here too.
As mentioned above, there are some lower prices available on the 13-inch entry model in the aforementioned open-box Best Buy deals, but those prices are starting to jump up slightly now since we posted them – only the Starlight model remains at $110 off from $890.
Twelve South’s latest 15W 2-in-1 Butterfly MagSafe travel charger hits all-time low from $50 (50% off)
Late last summer Twelve South unleashed a new updated, and more affordable version of its Butterfly travel charger. The SE version features the same fold-out 2-in-1 wireless charging setup, but with 15W Qi2 power on the main MagSafe pad and we happen to be tracking the lowest prices to date. This is a regularly $100 charger and you can once again score the black model on Amazon matching the lowest we have tracked to date at $50.99 shipped while a new Woot Bestest of Tech sale is now ushering in the best price ever on the white model at $49.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise).
Today’s accessories and charging deals:
Upgrade to Apple’s USB-C Magic Mouse with these rare open-box deals: White $61 or Black $72 (1-yr. Apple warranty)
If you have been holding off for a deal on the new USB-C Apple Magic Mouse, today might be your chance. While, historically speaking, deals are relatively rare on Apple’s official Magic Mouse – there has only been once good chance to score a price drop on the new black variant and the white USB-C model has yet to drop below $78. However, Best Buy now has some “excellent” condition open-box listings with full 1-year Apple warranties in tow at the best prices we have tracked to date on both the black and white modelsfrom a reputable dealer.
Just as a reminder, the white model carries a $79 list price and the black fetches a premium at $99 from Apple, both of which are fetching as much at Amazon right now. But, as mentioned above, pricing on the Geek Squad-verified open-box units in “excellent” condition at Best Buy are much less than that:
Alongside the “Apple One (1) Year Limited Warranty” they ship with, as well as being covered by Best Buy’s Return & Exchange Promise, here are the details you need to know about these open-box listings:
- Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings.
- Includes all original parts, packaging and accessories (or suitable replacement).
The newer USB-C edition of the Apple Magic Mouse is largely identical the Lightning versions, albeit with a USB-C port on the underside so you can finally be rid of those Lightning cables. I don’t know about you, but my Magic Mouse is the only piece of kit I still use that requires one and, while I really don’t need to upgrade, I really can’t wait to finally shed my reliance on the old Apple connector standard.
