It is starting to come down to the wire for holiday shipping and pricing on Apple gear, so today\u2019s 9to5Toys Lunch is bringing some of the best offers still live to the forefront. Firstly, you can still land Apple Watch Series 11 at $100 off<\/a> with Christmas delivery joined by just about every Apple Watch Ultra 2 at $250 off<\/a> as part of Best Buy\u2019s 24-hour Tech the Halls<\/a> sale. Those offers join the ongoing Black Friday pricing on M4 Mac mini from $479<\/a> as well as iPhone 16 Pro Max models<\/a> at over $600 off<\/a> the original list prices and what might be your last chance at holiday AirPods offers (Apple EarPods are $10<\/a> right now if there\u2019s anybody out there that still wants those). Check it all out below.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All black and natural Apple Watch Ultra 2 configs are $250 off in brand new condition<\/p>\n

As you may have seen from our coverage<\/a> this morning, today Best Buy launched a 24-hour Tech the Halls sale<\/a> and one of the featured deals has a load of Apple Watch Ultra 2 models at $250 off<\/a>. This is the price drop we spotted for Black Friday this year and quite a notable one when it comes to brand new units. It\u2019s no Ultra 3, but it\u2019s still a solid wearable and just about every configuration and color Best Buy and Amazon<\/a> sells is now $250 off.<\/p>\n

Apple Watch Ultra 2 carried, and by and large still does carry, the same $799 starting list price you\u2019ll find on the Ultra 3<\/a>. While Apple\u2019s newest pro-grade wearables are seeing some slight deals<\/a> on Amazon right now, there\u2019s nothing approaching the $100 off we tracked for Black Friday this year. The Ultra 2 however, is heavily discounted ahead of the holidays right now with straight up $250 price drops now live at both major retailers on the Black and Natural Titanium case options with several bands at the ready as well:<\/p>\n

Over at Best Buy, the $250 price drops also carry over to the more premium configuration that includes Apple\u2019s Milanese Loop as well:<\/p>\n

Best Buy is listing these deals as a today only affair, so there\u2019s no telling whether or not they will still be available tomorrow at $250 off.<\/p>\n

Again, the Ultra 2 certainly isn\u2019t the Ultra 3, but I for one will be sticking with the Ultra 2 for the time being, or at least until the price on the Ultra 3 drops significantly online. The now previous-generation model is still a perfectly capable wearable, one you can score for a whole lot less, and one that looks nearly identical anyway.<\/p>\n

Apple Watch Series 11 stock at $100 off is starting to slip, score one for Christmas from the $299 low<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still looking to get an Apple Watch Series 11<\/a> at the lowest price yet under the tree this year, time is running out. While some case colors have already either sold out or slipped beyond the Christmas cut-off, there are still some options on the $299<\/a> and $329<\/a> deal pricing at $100 off at both Amazon and in Best Buy\u2019s new \u201cGet it by Christmas<\/a>\u201d section. Details below.<\/p>\n

While Amazon is having a hard time keeping the most affordable 42mm Jet Black model in stock still, most of the other base options with the $100 price drops are still live and listed as \u201cArrives Before Christmas\u201d as of this morning (the time of writing):<\/p>\n

Best Buy has also launched a 24-hour Tech the Halls sale<\/a> this morning featuring a new \u201cGet it by Christmas\u201d section. In there you will find the same $100 price drops on Apple Watch Series 11 right now with just about all case color and band options it carries still in stock and on sale, including the Jet Black 42mm model at $299<\/a> you won\u2019t find at Amazon and just about all 46mm models starting from $329<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s always hard to guess at when these sorts of deals might either jump back up in price and slip beyond holiday shipping at this time of year, considering this is the lowest price Apple\u2019s new wearable has sold for anyway, it might not be a good idea to wait and find out for sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still using Apple\u2019s EarPods? All models just $10 on Amazon and AirPods now starting at $75<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still looking to land a set of Apple earbuds for the holidays, there are some deals still live. Not only is Amazon offering all of Apple\u2019s official EarPods down at just $9.99 Prime shipped<\/a> for those who can still make use of the wired models (or a hit of nostalgia), but there are still some notable holiday-worthy pricing live on the current slate of AirPods.<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, there are still some folks out there that can put Apple\u2019s wired EarPods to use and Amazon is offering all three sets down at $9.99 right now:<\/p>\n

Much of Amazon\u2019s best offers have come and gone now on AirPods, but you can still land the AirPods Pro 3 down at $209.99<\/a> (within $10 of the Amazon all-time low) and Walmart remains the last bastion of hope when it comes to AirPods 4 ahead of the holidays (at least for right now):<\/p>\n

While we might see Amazon give it one more go at Black Friday pricing before the year is up, there\u2019s no telling if those offers will land in time for Christmas delivery at this point.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s new iPhone Air Bumper case is up to 36% off at Amazon right now, deals from $25<\/p>\n

As you perhaps already know by now, Apple revived its Bumper-style case<\/a> this year for the new iPhone Air and we are tracking some notable discounted pricing on Amazon. While the all black model has jumped up a couple bucks from the Black Friday deal, it is still nearly 25% off and you\u2019ll find the others sitting down at the best we have tracked on Amazon.<\/p>\n

iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB now over $600 off orig. list price via Amazon Renewed Premium (Undercuts Black Friday deal)<\/p>\n

We spotted some seriously deep deals on iPhone 16 Pro Max <\/a>courtesy of Amazon\u2019s Renewed Premium program just after Black Friday this year. But those previous Amazon all-time lows have now been undercut in the lead up to the holidays \u2013 you can now land the 1TB model at up to $612 off<\/a> the original price.<\/p>\n

While the Natural Titanium colorway on the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max has jumped up $30 from our previous post, the Black, Desert, a White have dropped even lower from our previous $1,029 mentions. You\u2019re looking at new Amazon all-time lows on all three colors at up to $612 less than the cost of buying the comparable unlocked iPhone 17 Pro Max in new condition straight from Apple:<\/p>\n

We recently detailed what the Amazon Renewed Premium program is all about over at 9to5Mac<\/a>. You can a more complete breakdown over there right now, but the short-form takeaway here is that you\u2019re looking at Amazon\u2019s top-condition units, in the best possible quality, and with complete coverage. You\u2019ll just want to make sure you\u2019re purchasing the phone straight from Amazon with Amazon fulfillment (like the links above) to be sure you\u2019re locking in the 1-year warranty and proper coverage.<\/p>\n
