Apple 13-inch M4 iPad Pro now $50 off, HomePod mini deals, Apple Watch Ultra 2 with Ocean Band, Beats, much more - 9to5Mac (2024)

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, the Apple deals keep coming with a new all-time low on the most affordable 13-inch M4 iPad Pro at $50 off – it’s now joining other configurations in the lineup. From there, we are now tracking the first deal of the holiday on both HomePod mini (all five colors) and HomePod 2 alongside Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the official Ocean Band (or not) and a slew of price drops on the latest Beats headphone and earbud releases. You’ll find all of that and more waiting below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break deals.

Apple’s most affordable new 13-inch M4 iPad Pro just hit a new low

While we caught an early price drop on the entry-level11-inch M4 iPad Produring the pre-order phase (it is still live), it’s now time for the 13-inch. Amazon is now offering the13-inch M4 iPad Pro with 256GB of storage down at$1,249 shipped. Regularly $1,299, this is a straight up $50 price drop and the best straight-up cash discount we have tracked yet. This deal is available on both the Space Black and Silver colorways. If you have been following along with our constant tracking of the entire lineup of M4 iPad Pro prices since the pre-order phase, you’ll know this 13-inch variant has yet to see any notable discounts – it dropped a few bucks at Amazon but nothing worth waving a credit card at. For folks looking for the larger screen real estate that don’t want to pay for the extra storage (or Nano Textured Glass), this is the deal you’re after – unless you’re going to wait until what might very well be much later in the year for a potential $100 in savings. Head below for more details and a closer look at the rest of the M4 iPad Pro lineup’s pricing right now.

As part of its now liveMemorial Day sale, Best Buy is ushering in some spring-time deals onApple’s latest HomePods. First up, we have theHomePod mini in all five colorsdown at$79.99 shipped. The regularly $99 speaker is now matching our previous mention to deliver the third notable price drop we have tracked from a reputable source this year – there have been some limited, member-only, and YMMV deals as well though. Today’s offer also lands within $1 of last year’s Black Friday pricing and joins a discount on the largerApple HomePod 2nd Genwe will detail below.

And now, on to theHomePod 2nd Gen. You can land one of these in either Midnight Black or white as part of the Best Buy Memorial Day eventat$269.99 shipped. Regularly $300, today’s deal comes within $20 of the lowest price we have tracked this year, which was a limited 3-day sale back in April and a rare price drop at that. This is the latest second-generation model with Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos support alongside the new Thread and Matter action for control of your HomeKit smart home ecosystem and more, not to mention the temperature and humidity sensor powered by the S7 chip.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 with Ocean Band, more from $714

While you can still score theUltra 2 with the Trail Loop band down at$714– with one color option, Amazon is now offeringApple Watch Ultra 2 with the Ocean Band in three colors down at$729 shipped. Regularly $799, this is $70 off and the lowest price we can find on this configuration. Now, if you’re just looking to score an Ultra 2 and then flip the band out to something else (like the amazing leatherBurton Goods strapswe have anexclusive offeron or thebest metal bracelet models right here), then you might as well grab the configuration with the Trail Loop at$714. However, if you’re one of the those people that are into the Ocean Band style (I’m one of those people), then the $729 price is a notable one. The Apple Ocean Bandcarries a regular price of$99if you buy it separately.
