Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break deals are now ready to roll. Best Buy has transitioned into its official early Black Friday sale now and we have more than a few Apple deals that should be on your radar. Alongside all-time low pricing on Apple Watch Ultra 3 models at $99 off the list prices, the new Apple Watch SE 3 with the always-on display has now hit its best price ever starting at $200 shipped. We also have several M4 Mac mini configs at up to $110 off joined by $100 off all iPad mini 7 models, and exclusive all-time lows on Satechi’s latest Find My accessories at 40% off for 9to5 readers. Apple’s least pricey M4 Mac mini now down to $499 at Amazon ($100 off) + 24GB models Along with the now live Week 1 Best Buy Black Friday Doorbusters, Amazon is ushering in some solid M4 Mac mini deals across several configurations. We featured a special deal on the most affordable 24GB model earlier this week courtesy of B&H, followed by a pair of notable discounts on the upgraded configs at Amazon this morning, but it has now dropped the entry-level M4 mini back down to $499 shipped. Amazon is now offering the M4 Mac mini with 16GB of RAM and the 256GB SSD – the most affordable configuration you can buy – at $499 shipped. Regularly $599, you’re looking at a $100 price drop on what many, myself included, consider to be the best bang for you buck when it comes to the current-generation Mac lineup. This thing delivers a full-on macOS experience with a relatively versatile array of I/O options at under $500. And if you ask me, landing a current-generation Mac, especially now with the base 16GB RAM tier, is a steal no matter how you look at it. Yes, we have seen this deal many a time at this point, and we will certainly see it again, but you really can’t go wrong if these sorts of specs work for you at $499. All of that said, and as I have spoken about plenty of times now, the 256GB storage is starting to feel soooo 2022 at this point. It works, and I have made it work for me more than a few times with some portable SSDs, but I tend to lean towards 512GB machines these days. However, you will certainly be paying the Apple storage tax with any upgrades at all (as you’ll see from the deal pricing across the lineup below), and if you can make the 256GB work for you, the value here is spectacular. M4 Mac mini 16GB/256GB $499 (Reg. $599) M4 Mac mini 16GB/512GB $690 (Reg. $799) M4 Mac mini 24GB/512GB $890 (Reg. $999) Apple’s official iPhone 17/Pro/Max Silicone cases now starting from $37 (25% off) We featured some all-time low pricing on the official Apple iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Silicone cases for Prime Day last month, and much of those deals are now returning. While some of the colors and sizes aren’t quite as low, they are landing very close (within $1 or so of the best prices ever right now). Scope out the details below. Options on the base model iPhone 17 are also coming down into that $37 all-time low price range alongside the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max options right now. You’re looking at regularly $49 cases seeing something very close to 25% off right now to land within $1 or so of the best we have tracked to date. Pricing varies slightly on the color option here, but you’re by and large looking at something very close to Amazon all-time lows across the board – it’s really just the orange model and a couple others that aren’t on sale here. Midnight iPhone 17 Pro/Max Silicone Case from $38 (Reg. $49) Black iPhone 17 Pro/Max Silicone Case from $38 (Reg. $49) Purple Fog iPhone 17 Pro/Max Silicone Case from $37 (Reg. $49) Neon Yellow iPhone 17 Pro/Max Silicone Case from $38 (Reg. $49) Terra Cotta iPhone 17 Pro/Max Silicone Case from $38 (Reg. $49) Multiple colors iPhone 17 Silicone Case from $38 (Reg. $49) These deals are landing alongside some ongoing price drops on Apple’s new iPhone Air Bumper as well – you can check those offers out right here. New always-on Apple Watch SE 3 hits new Amazon low from $200 Late last week we spotted the first notable price drop on Apple’s rather compelling new SE 3 wearable, and now you can add the most affordable model to the mix. Amazon is now offering the new Apple Watch SE 3 starting from $199.99 shipped. We caught some early and quite slight launch deals on Apple’s newest and most affordable smart wearable shortly after release at Amazon, but those offers were really only for folks who had to jump in right away. But at basically $50 off, the offers we have now are far more enticing considering the SE lineup rarely sees deals quite as deep as the more pricey models: 40mm Apple Watch SE 3 $200 (Reg. $249) 44mm Apple Watch SE 3 $230 (Reg. $279) As of right now, these discounts are only live on the Starlight variant in both sizes – there are deals on the Midnight, but they aren’t quite as deep. The price could drop even lower on the SE 3 is we move through Black Friday month, but then again the prices of anything could get lower as we move through Black Friday month. Prices could get lower the weekend after Black Friday for that matter. But with the deals kicking off earlier than ever this year and considering we are not expecting massive price drops on the new SE 3, these new lows are worth highlighting, if not just for reference. They could go lower, but we might also just see the Midnight case join the $50 off party too. Amazon now offering $100 off all iPad mini 7 models starting at $399 Just after seeing early Black Friday offers prompt Amazon to knock at least $150 off every single M3 iPad Air configuration over the weekend, it has now put the iPad mini 7 on sale as well. You will now find all models in the lineup marked down by $100 with discounts now starting at $399 shipped. Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest iPad mini running on the A17 Pro chip starting from $399 shipped, with the 256GB model at $499, and the 512GB at $699: iPad mini 7 128GB $399 (Reg. $499) iPad mini 7 256GB $499 (Reg. $699) iPad mini 7 512GB $699 (Reg. $799) These deals were ushered in by the Week 1 Target early Black Friday dealsthat went live on Sunday (yesterday) – all model and colors are also on sale therebut you will pay $1 more on each of them. A trend is already emerging – even though Amazon hasn’t even officially announced its Black Friday sale dates just yet (it will surely start well before Thanksgiving), it will and already has been price matching aggressively well ahead of time anyway, much like it is here on iPad mini. Here’s the thing though: We have seen iPad mini 7 at $100 a number of times and it tends to drop an additional $20 during major sale and holiday events across 2025. We are assuming and, frankly, expecting this to happen again for Black Friday at some point – you have been warned. Whether or not the $20 in savings is enough to wait is up to you, but $20 is $20, and it could drop even lower than that. Likely not by much, but it could happen. Apple Watch Ultra 3 just hit its best price yet over at Amazon, black and natural Ocean Band models now $99 off Amazon just dropped the black Apple Watch Ultra 3 w/ Milanese Loop to its all-time low at $99 off Early Black Friday Exclusive: Save a giant 40% on Satechi’s Find My wallet card, keychain, tags, more from $18 Best Buy delivers major update to early Black Friday deals: Up to $300 off Pixel 10, 35% off holiday trees, more Target Black Friday Week 1 Deals now live: AirPods, BOGO 50%, FREE gift cards, more Official Shure holiday sale now live: Some of the best podcast mics out there now up to $50 off Today’s accessories and charging deals: B&H early Black Friday storage sale now live at up to 66% off: SSDs, flash drives, and more from just $5 Early Black Friday Doorbuster deals now offering up to $160 off Bose headphones and earbuds No room for a second monitor?

While the new 17 Pro/Max Cosmic Orange has seriously grown on me, the 16 Pro remains a compelling pickup, especially when you can grab one for $600 off the original list price. Details await below. There are a number of colors and storage options marked down to new all-time low prices, but the real standout for us is on the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro in Amazon Premium Renewed condition with a 1-year warranty. This is an originally $1,499 handset and fetched as much directly from Apple right up until a little over a month ago, but you can now land one at a massive $600 less than that, and $600 under the price of the comparable 17 Pro. The 1TB iPhone 16 Pro is now down at $899 shipped in the Naturaland Desert Titanium color ways. All of the configurations listed below are now undercutting our previous mentions to deliver some of the lowest prices we have ever tracked – there are also some Pro Max offers as well: iPhone 16 Pro 128GB White $769 (Orig. $999) iPhone 16 Pro 256GB White $830 (Orig. $1,099) iPhone 16 Pro 512GB White $869 (Orig. $1,299) iPhone 16 Pro 512GB Desert $869 (Orig. $1,299) iPhone 16 Pro 1TB Desert $899 (Orig. $1,499) iPhone 16 Pro 1TB Natural $899 (Orig. $1,499) 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max $1,089 (Orig. $1,599) 512GB iPhone 16 Pro Max $1,036 (Orig. $1,399) You’ll, either way, want to check out our hands-on review of the new iPhone 17 Pro while you’re at it, but it’s hard to deny the value of landing what was the best smartphone on the planet not more than a couple months ago at $600 off the list.
