Currently, we’re spotting some fantastic offers on original Apple woven USB-C cables, priced from under $8.50 each, as well as Apple Watch silicone and braided Solo Loops starting at just $20. Additionally, some exciting new deals have surfaced today. On the accessories side, we’re seeing additional Alpine and Trail Loop models at new price lows with a 20% discount. Furthermore, for the first time, we’re tracking savings on the new Nomad magnetic 240W ChargeKey USB-C cable, accompanied by a special discount for new customers that reduces sale items by 10%. However, the standout offer today is undoubtedly the enhanced 48GB 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro, now over $300 off its regular price, with entry-level models starting at $1,399. More deals are outlined below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Amazon just slashed $308 off the 48GB 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro, with prices starting from $1,399
Today, we have uncovered some remarkable prices for Apple’s latest 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro models. Let’s begin with the upgraded version featuring 48GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, now priced at a remarkable $2,591 shipped. This configuration regularly retails for $2,899, marking a significant $308 price drop and offering the lowest price available.
Although there was a brief offer for this model at $2,589 on Amazon that lasted about half a day, the discount available this morning is one of the best we’ve seen, only a few dollars above the historical lows tracked during Black Friday and the 2024 holiday season.
If the 48GB model exceeds your needs, Amazon is also featuring a strong offer for the 24GB model with a 512GB SSD, now down to $2,229 shipped. Originally priced at $2,499, this represents a $270 discount available across both the Space Black and silver versions, delivering the best price of the year – it did reach an all-time low of $2,199 during last year’s Black Friday, making today’s offer the best since then, just $30 shy of the record low.
The latest 16-inch MacBook Pro models certainly cater to a more specific audience – it seems most users prefer to opt for the more compact and budget-friendly 14-inch variant. However, if you desire a high-performance new M4 Pro machine without the premium price of the M4 Max and appreciate the larger display, today’s offers should catch your eye.
Here’s a glance at some ongoing deals for other M4 MacBook Pro configurations this week:
- 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/512GB $1,399 (Reg. $1,599)
- 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/1TB $1,579 (Reg. $1,799)

Following an exceptionally rare deal on the official Apple Polishing Cloth as part of today’s Woot Apple accessory sale, the retailer has reintroduced its ultra-low prices on official Apple Braided Solo Loops for Apple Watch. Originally priced at $99, you can now find a wide array of colors and sizes marked down to $29.99 Prime shipped (note: a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). These offers also include silicone Apple Solo Loops available as part of the Woot event, discounted to just $19.99 Prime shipped in various shades – this is a 59% reduction from the original $49 price.

The Braided Loop is designed with “ultra-comfortable” and stretchable material, achieved through weaving 16,000 recycled polyester yarn filaments around fine silicone threads. This precision-braiding combined with laser cutting technology yields a stylish yet casual appearance that is also “sweat and water resistant.”
Despite the significant clearance prices, these bands still come with a 1-year Apple warranty today.

This morning, we highlighted an exclusive deal code for new Nomad customers, but we wanted to give some extra focus to the brand’s latest ChargeKey. This compact, keychain-friendly USB-C charging cable now supports up to 240W of power and data transfer, yet has not seen any discounts since its launch… until now. You can currently get 10% off your order when purchasing two of these cables, available for everyone (not just new Nomad customers). More details below.
The new Nomad ChargeKey was launched in mid-February 2025 as the brand’s enhanced portable keychain charging and data cable. It debuted at $25 and has not changed since then, as we expected so soon after release from a brand like Nomad.
However, they are currently offering a special Buy Two, Get 10% off at checkout. Simply visit the listing page and add two to your cart to apply the discount – this will reduce your total from $50 to $45, providing the first discount and an all-time low.
Note: It is currently on backorder, but placing your order today will ensure your inclusion in the next batch, expected to ship next month.

Apple’s iPad mini 7 now seeing a $100 discount at Amazon, equaling all-time lows starting from $399
The newest iPad (A16) has launched (and is currently on sale at Amazon) alongside the upgraded M3 iPad Air (still offering its initial cash deals right here), but Amazon has also reinstated the $100 price drops on Apple’s latest, greatest, and miniest iPad. You can now find nearly every iPad mini 7 configuration on sale on Amazon at $100 off the standard prices, starting from $399 shipped. Further details follow below.
Amazon offers the 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB models for $399, $499, and $699 shipped, respectively. Each represents a straight $100 discount from typical retail prices, matching our earlier report and aligning with the lowest prices we’ve observed thus far.
Apple’s most recent iPad mini 7, or officially the iPad mini (A17 Pro), is the most budget-friendly model in the lineup capable of running Apple Intelligence. The previously mentioned iPad (A16), of course, is the least expensive model in the overall lineup, starting from $329 on Amazon. However, it lacks compatibility with Apple Intelligence.
Launching in late 2024, the iPad mini 7 retains the compact 8.3-inch display of the previous variant while delivering a notable 30% increase in CPU performance, 25% enhanced graphics capabilities, and improved storage options—all previously available 64GB models have been removed. Our comparison of the iPad mini 7 vs. 6 provides an in-depth review of all the updates this time around.
