Joining AirPods Pro 3 at one of the lowest prices to date and AirPods 4 at nearly 25% off, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by Apple’s new AirPods Max 2 hitting the best price ever. Best Buy has indeed launched a major 4-day Apple sale event, but these AirPods and MacBook deals are even lower, while all brand new condition iPhone Air models just dropped back to all-time low pricing at $149 off. Head below for a closer look and even more.
Apple’s new AirPods Max 2 hit best price ever today (New Amazon all-time low)
Update: We are now tracking a new Amazon all-time low price on the new AirPods Max 2 at $499 shipped.
The early Prime Day deals are really flying now, with AirPods Pro 3 down at one of the best prices ever and AirPods 4 at nearly 25% off, but now it is time for the best price ever on the new AirPods Max 2.
Best Buy launched a wide-ranging Apple Shopping Event today and, while most of the gear is sitting at a lower price on Amazon right now, it has the lowest price on the new AirPods Max 2 – we are expecting Amazon to price match or slightly undercut this deal at anytime now though.
Best Buy is now offering AirPods Max 2 down at $499 shipped in all five colors. Regularly $549, that’s a straight $50 off the list price and the best deal we have tracked to date on Apple’s new flagship over-ear headphones.
Previous to today, the new Max 2 have never dropped below the $509 we were tracking at Amazon earlier this week. There is of course a chance we see them drop a bit lower for Prime Day later this month, but we were targeting the $499 discount price we have here today.
The new AirPods Max 2 landed earlier this year as what is arguably the first proper next-generation Apple over-ears. We did see a color refresh and the introduction of USB-C as part of the last product line update, but they were more or less identical to the originals otherwise. This time around, Max 2 delivers the H2 chip and a new high dynamic range amp for better audio reproduction as well as upgraded ANC and Transparency modes – “up to 1.5x more Active Noise Cancellation.”
Get a complete rundown of what’s new on Max 2 and the differences between it and the previous iterations right here in our AirPods Max 2 vs AirPods Max feature.
Most affordable Apple Watch Series 11 now down at $299 (Amazon low at $100 off)
While we are already tracking AirPods Pro 3 back down at one of the lowest prices to date and AirPods 4 at $99 again, Amazon has just brought back its all-time low pricing on the most affordable Apple Watch Series 11 at $100 off.
Amazon is now offering the 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 at $299 shipped.
This is a regularly $399 configuration and the most affordable Series 11 you can buy. Now $100 off the list price, this is matching the lowest price we have ever tracked at Amazon or anywhere else outside of YMMV and in-store offers on the least expensive model there is.
As of the time of writing, only the Jet Black, Silver, and Rose Gold models are down this low. We will keep an eye out for the Space Gray.
There are some discounts live on the larger 46mm case size, but we recommend waiting until you see the model you’re after at a clean $100 off the list price. Right now the best deals have them at $70 off and we have seen them at $100 off plenty of times – this deal will almost certainly return by month’s end, if not much sooner.
Stock is extremely low, but you will find Series 11 at up to $160 off via Amazon Resale in Used – Like New condition right now as well. Details on the best of those offers awaits right here.
All brand new condition iPhone Air models just dropped back to all-time low pricing at $149 off
Best Buy launched a major 4-day Apple Shopping Event today and it is housing another shot at the lowest price to date on all brand new, unlocked iPhone Air configurations.
While Amazon has better prices on most Apple gear right now, including the official Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery sitting at its lowest price ever with 40% in savings, the iPhone Air is a notable exception. There are some used and refurbished listings, but Best Buy is now offering a straight up $149 off brand new condition units:
Best Buy is now offering $149 off all iPhone Air configurations and all colors – the 256GB model is down at $849.99 shipped and the 512GB is at $1,049.99 shipped:
You’re looking at a match for the lowest price we have tracked on iPhone Air from a reputable source in brand new condition. Best Buy started the year off with $50 price drops, then $100 off, and now the last couple chances we have seen at savings has delivered this same $149 off the list price.
As mentioned above, Amazon undercuts Best Buy on most Apple gear and is right now, but the iPhone Air Best Buy deal is quite a good one for folks looking to land an ultra-thin, unlocked Apple handset.

iPhone Air is $149 off today, and its official MagSafe Battery is at $59 (40% off, all-time low)
While Amazon has undercut much of the deals in Best Buy’s 4-day Apple shopping, the iPhone Air discount at $149 off is the best discount we can find in brand new condition. And with that going live this morning we wanted to shine some more light on the ongoing all-time low Amazon is delivering on the official Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery.
And this is not some tiny discount or anything either – we are talking a solid 40% off and the lowest price we have tracked to date.
While the early deals on Apple’s MagSafe battery pack were not all that impressive, it is currently sitting down at $59 shipped on Amazon still to deliver one of the best discounts we have seen on official Apple accessories all year.
Regularly $99, this is 40% off, the lowest it has ever been offered for on Amazon, and the lowest price we can find.
It’s certainly not the most affordable MagSafe power bank you’ll find out there, but I would argue it is the most elegant and now at a seriously notable price for those with an affinity for first-party Apple add-ons.
It is one of the thinnest on the market, delivers streamlined iOS widget support, and is designed to fit the back of iPhone Air perfectly.
