As the Amazon Big Spring Sale enters its second day, we’re excited to bring you the best Apple deals, featuring a significant price drop on the M4 Pro Mac mini – now available at its lowest price ever with a savings of $200 (the base model still starts at $529). Next up, we look at the M4 Pro MacBook Pro lineup, where Amazon has applied a $300 discount on the 24GB 16-inch model, matching the all-time low seen during Black Friday. Lastly, the AirPods 4 with ANC are on sale with a reduced price of $149, while the base model remains at the $100 deal, and Eve’s HomeKit Secure Video camera is also at one of its best prices to date. More details below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Now even lower: Apple’s 24GB M4 Pro Mac mini just dropped again to new all-time low at $200 off, more from $529
Update: Great news! Amazon has lowered the price of the M4 Pro Mac mini by an additional $50, bringing it down to a new all-time low of $1,199 shipped. Originally priced at $1,399, this upgraded model features the M4 Pro chip, 24GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, now available for $200 off—making it the lowest price we’ve recorded on Amazon.
For many, the biggest draw of Apple’s new M4 Mac mini series is the affordability. The base model of the current M4 lineup starts at just $599 (or even lower with current deals, commencing at $529, just $29 shy of its previous all-time low). However, the more capable M4 Pro model offers exceptional value for users needing extra performance for content creation or software like Logic Pro and Final Cut, now at its best price ever on Amazon with a $150 discount. More details below.
Amazon is now selling the Apple M4 Pro Mac mini with 24GB of RAM and 512GB SSD for only $1,199 shipped. Regularly $1,399, this represents a $200 price cut and is $50 less than our last mention, marking a new Amazon all-time low. It’s the first time this configuration has been observed below $1,299 on Amazon.
Furthermore, for some customers, the more budget-friendly M4 variants are an attractive option as they are the least expensive Macs currently available, making them ideal for users with lighter computing needs.
Apple’s most affordable 24GB 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro just fell back to the Black Friday all-time low at $300 off
We have been monitoring significant $200 price cuts on the most economical M4 MacBook Pro for over a week now, but the Amazon Big Spring Sale is bringing back the lowest price on the 16-inch M4 Pro model. The latest update shows the 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB RAM and 512GB SSD now priced at $2,199 shipped– a substantial $300 discount from the regular $2,499 price point.
While we are looking at the base model, it’s equipped with a formidable 24GB of RAM alongside the standard 512GB of storage. Earlier this month, we noted a dipping price of $2,129, but Amazon has now improved upon that offer to reflect the return to all-time low pricing with a solid $300 price reduction. This is only the second time we’ve seen this model at such an excellent price, previously achieved during Black Friday last year.
This is undoubtedly a very compelling offer for a quality machine, and there’s no telling how long this pricing will remain. Previously, it took three months to see a similar discount.
The same rationale applies to the more expensive 48GB model we spotted with a $308 discount; the 16-inch configurations may not fit everyone’s preferences. Many consumers tend to lean towards the more compact models, appreciating their lower prices, but if you’re in search of a robust workstation, particularly for video editing or other demanding tasks, today’s deal is exceptional.
If this model doesn’t quite fit your needs, consider these additional configurations:
- 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/512GB $1,399 (Reg. $1,599)
- 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/1TB $1,589 (Reg. $1,799)
- 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/512GB $1,779 (Reg. $1,999)
- 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/1TB $2,199 (Reg. $2,499)
- 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro 48GB/1TB $2,591 (Reg. $2,899)
Apple’s latest AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation drop back to Amazon 2025 low at $149 today, base set at $100
The deal for AirPods Pro 2 is currently sitting at $170, and we still have the base model AirPods 4 available at the $100 mark. However, the enhanced AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are also part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale today. Regularly priced at $179, Amazon is now offering the latest AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation for just $148.99 shipped, matching our earlier mention and marking the lowest price we’ve recorded this year.
While we witnessed a brief promotion for the ANC AirPods 4 around Christmas last year at the $139 all-time low, today’s offer ranks alongside the best we’ve seen otherwise. There have been quick, nearly spam-like offers from less reputable online retailers for less, but few had a chance to grab them, and honestly, they were probably not worth the hassle.
In my opinion, Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 set the standard for in-ear listening experiences (and I’m not alone in that viewpoint)—they were among the top-selling products among 9to5Toys readers last year, despite the introduction of the newer AirPods 4 last fall, and were featured in our 9to5Toys’ Favorite Things of 2024 feature for good reason.
Meanwhile, the AirPods 4 offer a more cost-effective option that impressed us thoroughly during our hands-on review last year – Hands-on with AirPods 4: a superior experience in many respects.
In addition to Active Noise Cancellation, features like Siri for hands-free interaction, Voice Isolation, and Personalized Spatial Audio are included. They also have a newly designed earbud form-factor with a refined contour, shorter stem, and quick-press controls for music or calls, along with the industry’s smallest case that includes wireless charging.
Eve’s HomeKit Secure Video smart home cam hits one of its best prices at $115 (Nearly 25% off)
As part of the ongoing Big Spring Sale and Eve’s smart home promotion, we’re shining a light on a fantastic deal for one of our top-rated HomeKit cameras – the Eve Cam. Regularly priced at $150, and seldom reduced outside holiday sales, it’s now available for one of the best prices we’ve ever seen, listed at $114.95 shipped, nearly 25% off.
While the Eve Cam might not be the newest addition to the HomeKit camera lineup or the most budget-friendly option, our follow-up review around this time last year solidified it as one of our favorites:
Last week, I examined the status of HomeKit Secure Video. Although I acknowledge that there’s still significant work needed to fulfill users’ requirements in 2024, it’s clear that it remains the best choice for privacy-conscious consumers looking to utilize smart home cameras. The Eve Cam is among the premier cameras on the market compatible with HomeKit Secure Video.
The Eve Cam, which is now surpassing last year’s Black Friday price, offers HomeKit Secure Video support – described as “Eve is a vendor nearly indistinguishable from Apple when it comes to first-party HomeKit products.”
It delivers 1080p video to your smart devices from its sleek black design, equipped with expected notifications and motion alerts. Additionally, it can differentiate between people and pets.
Don’t forget to explore the broader Eve Big Spring smart home sale, where fantastic deals on their plugs, outlets, switches, and more start from $30.

Apple’s iPad mini 7 now $100 off for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, deals from $399
The new iPad (A16) is available now (and marked down at Amazon) along with the upgraded M3 iPad Air (currently offered at its first significant price cuts). However, Amazon just reinstated a $100 discount on the latest and greatest, miniest iPad. Almost all configurations of the iPad mini 7 are now on sale at Amazon, starting from $399 shipped. Check out the details below.
Amazon has the 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB models now priced at $399, $499, and $699 shipped, respectively. Each of these denotes a straight $100 off the standard rates, aligning with our previous mention and matching the lowest prices we’ve tracked thus far.
Apple’s latest iPad mini 7, or officially the iPad mini (A17 Pro), is the most cost-effective model in the lineup that supports Apple Intelligence. The aforementioned iPad (A16) is, indeed, the least expensive model in the whole lineup, starting at $329 on Amazon, albeit incompatible with Apple Intelligence.
The iPad mini 7 hit the market in late 2024, maintaining an equally compact 8.3-inch display as its predecessor but boasts a 30% increase in CPU performance, 25% improved graphics capabilities, and more storage options—Apple finally eliminated the 64GB models from the series. For a detailed comparison of the iPad mini 7 versus the 6, check out our review feature.
Here are our top picks for iPad mini 7 cases and sleeves, starting from $8.50.
