Today\u2019s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is now ready to go. Alongside ongoing $100 price drops<\/a> on Apple Watch Series 11<\/a>, Best Buy has launched its 2026 President\u2019s Day sale <\/a>with price drops on AirPods Pro 3 <\/a>and more. We also have a chance to land Apple Watch Ultra 3<\/a> in black at up to $150 off<\/a> alongside a rare deal on Apple\u2019s latest Anchor Blue Sport Loop at $39<\/a> and the USB-C Magic Mouse back at the Amazon low<\/a>.\u00a0Hit the jump for a closer look. <\/p>\n

All black Apple Watch Ultra 2 models now $250 off, open-box Ultra 3 models up to $150 off today<\/p>\n

Best Buy has now officially launched its 2026 President\u2019s Day sale<\/a> with thousands of discounts across a wide range of product categories, including straight up $250 price drops<\/a> on all black Apple Watch Ultra 2<\/a> models. The series 2 model is still a great option and one you can land for a whole lot less right now, but we do have some Ultra 3 deals to scope out below as well, including both new condition and open-box units at as much as $150 off<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Much like our previous mention, Best Buy is now offering $250 price drops on all of the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 configs it carries. This includes the Ocean Band, Alpine Loop, and Trail Loop options in various colors (mostly Black and Dark Green).<\/p>\n

Originally $799, much like the sticker price on the new Ultra 3, you\u2019ll now find all models sitting down at $549 to match our previous mention and the holidays deals we featured to close out 2025:<\/p>\n

There were some limited $99 price drops on select Apple Watch Ultra 3 configurations for the Black Friday deal season last year, but nothing like that has hit the entire lineup as of yet and we haven\u2019t seen straight up cash deals like that on new units since.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are the best deals on new unit Ultra 3 models:<\/p>\n

And here are some notable \u201cexcellent\u201d condition black Apple Watch Ultra 3 open-box offers to scope out \u2013 all of them include the 1-year Apple warranty. Most compelling of all is the two deals we are tracking this morning on Ultra 3 with the Black Alpine Loop at $132 off<\/a> the list price on the Black Trail Loop variant at $150 off<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Rare deal drops Apple\u2019s latest Anchor Blue Sport Loop to one of its best prices at $39<\/p>\n

While all-time low pricing<\/a> is still live on the official Natural Apple Milanese Loop<\/a>, today we spotted a notable and rare price drop on a much more affordable Apple band \u2013 the 46mm Sport Loop at 20% off <\/a>the list price.<\/p>\n

Amazon is now offering the Apple Sport Loop in the latest Anchor Blue colorway down at $39 shipped<\/a>. This is a regularly $49 band that is now sitting at the lowest price we can find.<\/p>\n

While we did just go through a couple weeks of particularly deep deals on the Ultra band collection, those offers have come and gone in favor of today\u2019s arguably even more rare discount on the Sport Loop that debuted in this colorway last September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While we have caught a couple short-lived opportunities to land this band at the $34 Amazon all-time low, it has only gone on sale three times, including today, and we are now looking at the second-best deal we have tracked at within $5 of the Amazon low.<\/p>\n

This is the latest Anchor Blue treatment on the same Sport Loop you know and probably love. The carbon neutral band delivers a one-size-fits-just about everyone approach with an adjustable fit by way of the hook-and-loop fastener. It features a \u201cdouble-layer nylon weave [that] has dense loops on the skin side that provide soft cushioning while allowing moisture to escape.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Rare deal drops Apple\u2019s latest USB-C Magic Mouse down to $68 today<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s Magic Mouse<\/a> isn\u2019t for everyone, but if you\u2019re anything like me there\u2019s just no substitute for its multi-touch gesture support, and we are catching a relatively rare chance to score a deal<\/a> on the latest USB-C model today at Amazon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amazon is now offering Apple\u2019s latest Magic Mouse in the classic white finish down at $67.99 shipped<\/a>. This model carries a $79 list price and is now nearly 15% off to deliver the lowest price we can find in new condition from a reputable source.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the 15% discount might not seem like a ton, deals on Magic Mouse aren\u2019t exactly easy to come by. We did catch a few chances to score this same price across the Black Friday and holiday deal season last year, but this deal does not come around often and it rarely lasts for very long. Outside of the Black Friday deal and a fleeting one-day deal last month, we hadn\u2019t seen this mouse down this low at Amazon since May and almost never before that.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re looking at the latest model that is, by and large, the same as the previous iteration, just with the upgraded USB-C charging port. Some folks just can\u2019t stand the ergonomics, or lack there of, on Apple\u2019s Magic Mouse, and I totally get it, but for me it is a must-have. There\u2019s something about the gesture swipe support that has become an extension of my existence at this point and I am yet to come across an alternative that can deliver that sort of intuitive control over web pages, and macOS, and Logic Pro sessions, and anything else for that matter.<\/p>\n

This is certainly a me thing, and there are some great mice out there, like the last MX Master 4 from Logitech<\/a>, but I need that Apple magic.<\/p>\n

Apple sells refurb iPhone 16 now, but Amazon\u2019s renewed units are waaaay less \u2013 16 Pro Max 1TB now $611 off<\/p>\n

As you may have seen recently over at 9to5Mac<\/a>, Apple has just started to offering refurbished iPhone 16 series devices in its online storefront. Thing is, you can score Amazon\u2019s Renewed Premium units with a 1-year warranty for a whole lot less. This 1TB black titanium iPhone 16 Pro Max is now $611 off<\/a> the original price at Amazon. Details below. <\/p>\n

Amazon is now offering Renewed Premium iPhone 16 Pro Max units<\/a> with 1TB of storage capacity down at $987.47 shipped<\/a>. This is an unlocked unit that carried a $1,599 list price in brand new condition \u2013 it is within $2 or so of the lowest we have ever tracked on Amazon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Apple\u2019s newly offered refurbished iPhone 16 Pro Max units are up for grabs<\/a>, you can\u2019t even get a 512GB at a price this low there. The 256GB model is $929 from Apple while the 512GB is $1,099 \u2013 it does not offer 1TB models at the time of writing. <\/p>\n

Yes, they are coming straight from Apple and it doesn\u2019t get anymore trustworthy than that, but Amazon\u2019s Premium Renewed listings shipping from and by Amazon are easily the next best thing we have come across. And they are also dramatically less expensive than Apple.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amazon Renewed Premium \u2013 the best way to score a deal on iPhone, now up to $880 off for Black Friday weekend<\/a><\/p>\n

Latest iPad mini now $100 off, all colors on most affordable model drop to $399<\/p>\n

We spotted some select iPad mini<\/a> configurations at $99 off via Amazon earlier this week, and while some of the upgraded storage configurations are now longer live, all colors of the most affordable model<\/a> are now $100 off<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amazon is now offering Apple\u2019s latest 128GB iPad mini 7 down at $399 shipped<\/a>. This includes all four colorways: Blue, Purple, Space Gray, and Starlight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regularly $499, this is a straight up $100 price drop and, outside of a brief offer at $390 on the blue model, on par with the lowest price of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s deal is on par with the price we spotted for Black Friday 2025. There have been a few chances to land these machines at $120 off, largely during Prime Day events, as well as an extremely brief all-time low at $150 off, but that was a very short-lived offer on Cyber Monday that barely lasted the full 24 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, some colorways with the 256GB storage capacity have now jumped up in price, but there are $100 price drops elsewhere in the lineup still live as of the time of writing:<\/p>\n
