Alongside the ongoing Amazon low on AirPods Pro 3 and deep deal on AirPods 4 with ANC, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is kicking off a near unheard of 52% price drop on Apple’s latest Trail Loop in blue with the black finish. Those offers also join a new low on the latest black model Trail Loop as well as a chance to save $100 on the most affordable M4 Mac mini with 24GB of RAM again and this giant Elevation Lab AirTag 2 mount/case sale from $8. You’ll also find some notable deals on MacBook Air, up to $620 off iPhone 16 Pro, and even more waiting below.
Official Apple Trail Loop in blue w/ black finish just hit an unheard of 52% off at Amazon (All-time low)
At this point I’d almost be sick of saying it if the deals weren’t so hot this week, but Amazon just dropped the price (again) on the official Apple Watch Ultra Trail Loop in blue. This time we are seeing the model with the Black Titanium finish drop to the lowest price we have ever tracked once again with a nearly unheard of 52% in savings.
Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest Blue/Bright Blue Trail Loop with the Black Titanium connectors for your Ultra 2/3 down at $47.30 shipped– this is the best price it has ever sold for.
Just over $47 isn’t exactly the most affordable Apple Watch band, and it’s a whole lot more than the near endless bargain bin clones you might find on Amazon, but an official Apple Watch Ultra band that just released a few months back at under $50 is borderline insane.
It’s rare to find open-box Apple Watch Ultra bands at 50% off, but right now, for some reason, Amazon is getting entirely aggressive with pricing on Apple’s latest bands. With these offers being so, historically speaking, out of pocket, it might be a good idea to get your wallet out of your pocket to take advantage of them. If this year goes anything like last, these deals will disappear sooner than later.

This 24GB M4 Mac mini is now $300 less than the model you can buy on Amazon
Deals on the current-generation Mac lineup have been, by and large, slow and slight to kick off 2026. The exception here is the latest M4 Mac mini – while prices have jumped back up on most configurations at Amazon now, B&H has just brought back the $100 price drop on what is, in my opinion, one of the more compelling configs you can buy.
B&H is now once again offering the M4 Mac mini with 24GB of RAM and the 256GB SSD down at $699 shipped. This is a regularly $799 configuration when purchased from Apple that is now seeing the same $100 price drop we featured last go around.
As a quick reminder, you can’t buy this official configuration from most major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy.
Now, you might be asking how a 256GB Mac mini could be one of the most compelling options for me, and understandably so – that is a seriously underwhelming amount of internal storage.
My response here is this – we are looking at the most affordable Mac mini config you can buy with the upgraded 24GB of RAM. As I have detailed previously, this is where I like to invest when it comes to Apple upgrades. I would much prefer a 512GB or 1TB internal storage setup, but considering how pricey it costs to upgrade these things on a Mac mini, it’s matter of picking your battles here and for me I would much rather land the RAM horsepower, save some cash, and leverage some external storage to help the cause on the backend.

Amazon has Apple’s 1TB iPhone 16 Pro at $620 off the orig. price right now (Renewed Premium)
While we are well into the iPhone 17 cycle at this point, folks looking to score a relatively modern Apple handset without paying anywhere the list prices will want to consider Amazon’s Renewed Premium iPhone listings – we have detailed the value proposition here previously and you can once again score a 1TB iPhone 16 Pro at as much as $620 off the original new list price.
Amazon is now offering the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro in Renewed Premium condition down at $879 shipped in a few different colors. You’re looking at an originally $1,499 iPhone release from late 2024 you can now land at $620 less than that. Just for comparison’s sake, that is the same price you would pay for the comparable unlocked iPhone 17 Pro right now too.
Today’s accessories and charging deals:
Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 are somehow still sitting down at the Amazon all-time low – likely not for long
Amazon is still offering Apple’s latest and greatest AirPods Pro 3 down at the$199 all-time low. We have already featured this deal, but considering how sought-after these buds are we wanted to make sure folks didn’t miss out. We are talking about arguably the best wireless ANC earbuds on the planet back down at the lowest price Amazon has ever offered them for.
Regularly $249, you can now pick up a set of Apple’s new 3rd generation pro-grade AirPods at $199 shipped. Outside of some limited open-box offers from less-than-stellar sellers and a couple YMMV/price error offers, this is as low as they have gone for, Black Friday and holiday 2025 included.
Taking into consideration where we are in the year right now, there’s really no telling what might happen to deal pricing on Apple’s best. It is January after all, and it is lucky that we are once again seeing deal pricing as stable and as low as it is right now.
The next major sale event at Amazon, for example, won’t (presumably) be until late March when it typically launches its first spring event. After that there are a few limited holiday events before Prime Day sales hit in July and October, and then again for Black Friday. We assume we will see this same offer at potentially all of those times, but it’s much less likely outside of the major Prime events and Black Friday.
Point here is this, if you’re looking to land a set in the early parts of the year here, now’s the time. While ti could happen of course, it is very unlikely we see pricing drop any lower than we have right now anytime soon and, in fact, it is much more likely that pricing will just go up for here and likely at anytime now.
Get in there while you can.
