With the ongoing $100 discounts on the latest M4 Mac mini and the iPad mini 7, Amazon has slashed prices once again on the budget-friendly new M3 iPad Air models – you can now find direct cash deals starting from $549. This follows the return of holiday pricing on the Apple Pencil Pro, now available for nearly 25% off, along with a significant $270 price reduction on the 24GB/1TB M4 Pro MacBook Pro in Space Black, featuring a 14-inch display. Additionally, chargers, Find My tumblers, and more are included in today’s deals, coinciding with the official announcement of Amazon’s upcoming Prime Day Spring Sale. Check out all the details below.
Apple’s enhanced 24GB 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 1TB SSD back to 2025 low at $270 off, more
While we’re still monitoring a record low for the base-level 16GB M4 MacBook Pro starting at $1,395, today’s highlights are the robust M4 Pro models. Aside from a few fleeting holiday doorbuster promotions last year, we’ve seen some of the best prices to date for the more budget-friendly 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro models. The base configuration with 24GB RAM and a 512GB SSD is now available from $1,749.99 shipped after you clip the on-page coupon, and the best price of the year for the 24GB/1TB variant is back as well. Further details below.
If you’re after the more potent pro-grade M4 chip, the previously mentioned model at $1,749.99 is your top choice – now $249 off the typical price, marking a significant low for this model.
For those prioritizing internal storage, the upgraded 1TB SSD model is also back to its 2025 low price at $2,129 shipped in Space Black. Regularly priced at $2,399, this offers a hefty $270 in savings and the best price we’ve tracked this year. This price drop mirrors earlier trends from this month that came and went quickly but has now re-emerged for another opportunity.
For my part, I genuinely believe the M4 Pro represents the best value. As I’ve previously mentioned, the base M4 models are appealing this generation after Apple replaced the 8GB options with 16GB, yet I still find the pro chip versions to be a more future-proof investment for myself.
In my case, I do a lot of work with Logic Pro, and the added performance can prove especially advantageous in those work environments, ensuring a snappier and more reliable machine for demanding creative processes over time. However, if your tasks don’t involve extensive audio or video editing, the standard M4 base models will likely serve you well and save you substantial money today.
Latest M3 iPad Air discounted again, most budget-friendly 11-inch models reach new all-time lows starting at $549
We highlighted even lower prices for the new M3 iPad Air lineup yesterday, and nearly all of those deals remain available, but Amazon has now further reduced the most affordable configurations to all-time lows. You can now get the 11-inch 128GB M3 iPad Air for just $549 shipped across all four color options. That’s a $50 reduction and the best cash deal we’ve seen to date.
Although some exclusive offers are available for Best Buy members and there are attractive trade-in deals for those wishing to upgrade from an older model – full details can be found here – today’s Amazon price is the lowest we’ve documented that anyone can access without any conditions.
The new iPad Air featuring Apple’s M3 chip was just released last week, representing the most powerful model in the current line-up without stepping up to the more premium M4 iPad Pro variations.
While for some, the 128GB configuration here might seem inadequate storage-wise, understandably so, I personally tend to prefer the lower-cost storage tiers for iPads – I would rather save money and connect a portable SSD when necessary. However, if you’re interested in larger configurations, we will provide a comprehensive deal list of all models below – the 256GB 11-inch model has also dropped again to a new all-time low.

Got a new M3 iPad Air or iPad mini 7? The compatible Apple Pencil Pro is down to $99 holiday pricing (nearly 25% off)
If you just picked up a new M3 iPad Air (hopefully not at full price), or one of the latest iPad mini 7 models now discounted by $100, or took advantage of recent deals on the M4 iPad Pro, you might want to explore the continued discounts on the Apple Pencil Pro as well. Amazon is currently offering Apple’s top-tier pro-grade iPad writer for $99 shipped – this is the lowest price we’ve tracked all year and matches the official holiday listings from 2024.
While we previously saw the Pencil drop momentarily to around $94 or even slightly below that, those deals are no longer available. The Apple Pencil Pro hasn’t dipped below the $99 mark since hitting $95 briefly during Black Friday, after which it became frequently out of stock on Amazon.
With the launch of the M3 iPad Air and the $100 price reductions on the iPad mini 7, we thought it crucial to showcase this deal on the pro Pencil. It’s uncertain how long this offer will last or if stock will remain at this discounted rate in the coming days, weeks, or months.
The Apple Pencil Pro is compatible with all M4 iPad Pro models, M2 and M3 iPad Air, as well as the newer iPad mini 7 – however, it does not work with the latest iPad (A16) as anticipated.
This is Apple’s most advanced and feature-rich writing tool, providing gesture support and haptic feedback allowing users to feel on-screen elements – “use gestures like squeeze and barrel roll to access tools, change brushes, and create strokes seamlessly. Haptics allow you to feel shapes snap into place, and more.”

Official 5K Apple Studio Display with built-in 12MP Center Stage camera back down to $1,300 ($299 off)
Update: Following a spike to $1,499, the Apple Studio Display with the tilt-adjustable stand is now back down to $1,299.99 shipped. Details below.
While some may opt for more budget-friendly options like Samsung Smart Monitors and similar-looking ViewFinity models, nothing quite compares to the authentic Apple Studio Display. We’re tracking the standard glass model with a tilt-adjustable stand now priced at $1,299.99 shipped. Regularly $1,599, this offers a $300 discount compared to retail prices and is the best deal we’ve found.
Though this model usually hovers around $1,499 on Amazon, you’re looking at $200 savings compared to that, representing a price in line with the lowest we’ve ever tracked there.
While rumors and credible sources suggest a new Apple Studio Display is in development, most predictions indicate a 2026 launch at the earliest. Even if a new model arrives sooner than expected, it’s unlikely we’ll see a straightforward $300 price drop anytime soon – this represents the lowest recorded price for the current model and typical pricing remained stable for nearly a year after its release.
