Today\u2019s 9to5Toys Lunch Break features the ongoing $100 price drops on Apple Watch Series 11<\/a>, but we also have some offers on Ultra as well. You\u2019ll find the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the gorgeous matching Milanese Loop at $200 off<\/a> or this Amazon \u201cexcellent\u201d refurbished unit down at $439<\/a> (that\u2019s $360 off<\/a>). Those offers join Spigen\u2019s Alpine Loop-style band down at $20<\/a> alongside the ongoing deals on the official Milanese Loops<\/a>, just be sure to scope out the M4 Mac mini offers<\/a> that landed today with up to $110 in savings<\/a>. The new Best Buy Winter Sale<\/a> is now in full swing and you\u2019ll find even more down below.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s M4 Mac mini now up to $110 off at Amazon with deals from $499 (Within $20 of Black Friday)<\/p>\n

What was arguably already the best value in current-gen Macs<\/a> at full price is now seeing some solid price drops at Amazon this morning. While we aren\u2019t see deals quite as low as we were for Black Friday last year, they are relatively close here \u2013 the most affordable model is now down at $499<\/a>, or within $20 of the Black Friday price.<\/p>\n

Amazon is now serving up its first notable discounts on Apple\u2019s M4 Mac mini lineup of 2026<\/a>. All three of the configurations it offers were on sale for Black Friday for a little bit less ($20 less to be exact), as well as on and off in the lead up to Christmas 2025, but we are otherwise looking at some solid discounts here and the best we have tracked over the last few weeks since.<\/p>\n

On the two 16GB variants above, you\u2019re essentially looking at some of the lowest prices we tracked across all of 2025, save for the bonus $20 in savings during Black Friday and a couple short-lived dips previous to that. The 16GB\/512GB config in particular is now matching the lowest we have tracked at Amazon outside of the $670 Black Friday offer.<\/p>\n

Much of this applies to the 24GB\/512GB model list above, but that one did see a few particularly notable discounts in May and early June of last year that had it down as low as $842 at Amazon for a short time.<\/p>\n

All of that said, for me the Mac mini is already well worth its price of entry before the discounts, is the most value-packed Apple purchase I have made personally in the last year or two, and I truly cannot recommend it enough for folks looking towards a relatively affordable Apple desktop experience.<\/p>\n

Black Apple Watch Ultra 2 units up to $360 off right now from $439 (Amazon excellent-refurb)<\/p>\n

Over the weekend we spotted some $200 price drops<\/a> landing on Apple\u2019s black Ultra 2 wearable, and today we are featuring a notable refurb offer straight from Amazon. We have seen a few chances to land the now prev-gen flagship Apple Watch Ultra 2 in black<\/a> at $250 off over the last few months in brand new condition, but \u201cexcellent \u2013 refurbished\u201d units straight from Amazon are now $360 off<\/a> the original list price.<\/p>\n

Amazon is now offering \u201cexcellent \u2013 refurbished\u201d black Apple Watch Ultra 2 units with the matching black Ocean Band at $439 shipped<\/a>. This config carried a $799 list price before being replaced by the new Ultra 3 but you can now land one at $360 less than that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is an \u201cexcellent\u201d condition refurb that ships with a 90-day Amazon Renewed Warranty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As we mentioned above, we are still tracking at least $200 off brand new Apple Watch Ultra 2 units at both Best Buy and Amazon right now. The black model with the matching Milanese Loop<\/a> included, you\u2019ll actually find $250 off select Natural models<\/a> at Amazon right now while Best Buy is still offering $200 off all black case model configurations it offers \u2013 you\u2019ll find the details you need on these offers right here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And just for reference, Apple Watch Ultra 3 is starting at\u00a0$774<\/a>\u00a0on Amazon right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amazon slashes Apple\u2019s most affordable iPad mini again, now nearly $110 off<\/p>\n

While we did see a very short-lived offer on Cyber Monday only that delivered a new all-time low on Apple\u2019s entry-level iPad mini 7 models<\/a>, deals are not often any better than $100 off the list prices. This is the same offer we had been tracking for the holidays last year and into 2026, but Amazon has slashed an additional $10 off some of the most affordable models for $110 in savings<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amazon is now offering Apple\u2019s latest base model iPad mini (A17 Pro) starting from $389.99 shipped<\/a>. Regularly $499, you\u2019re looking at nearly $110 in savings here on the Blue and Starlight models \u2013 the other two are still at $399.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Again we did see a mostly one-day offer at $150 off, but anything lower than $100 off is notable on this machine and today we are getting a little bonus savings. Much like we mentioned last go around, if you have some Amazon gift cards in the holster from the holidays, you might actually be able to land the lowest price ever on one of this miniature Apple tablets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All things considered, this is sort of a lot of iPad for $390. That is perhaps an odd way to put it being this is Apple\u2019s tiniest model, it is the most affordable model that supports Apple Intelligence and I happen to think of it as one of the best couch browsers or travel tablet companions out there.\u00a0 I\u2019d $499 is a fair list price, and $390 is a pretty sweet deal here.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just for comparison\u2019s sake, Best Buy is still offering these machines at $100 off<\/a>, or $10 more than Amazon\u2019s best deals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
