You can score a 24GB M4 Pro MacBook Pro for the same price as the M4 1TB today, now $220 off
As part of the ongoing Amazon Big Spring Salethe deals on Apple’s M4 series MacBook Pro models have been flying with pricing still kicking off from $1,399or $200 offon the base model. But we wanted to touch down this morning to highlight a couple of the 24GB models that are now sitting at $220 off the going rates to match the lowest prices of the year. This includes an upgraded 1TB M4 model, but you’ll want to head below for more details as you can also score an M4 Pro variant at the same price right now.
Deciding between the M4 and M4 Pro MacBook Pro model largely comes down to price for most folks. It’s really a matter of deciding whether or not you really need the extra M4 Pro horsepower and if you’re really willing to spend the cash on one. Everyone wants the extra M4 Pro power – cause’ why not? – but if you don’t really need it you really don’t need to spend the cash on it.
Then it comes down to deciding your configuration – do you need 24GB of RAM? An upgraded SSD? There a couple of notable deals to scope out today if you do.
Firstly, Amazon is offering the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro upgraded with 24GB of RAM and a 1TB internal SSD down at $1,779 shipped. That’s $220 off the regular $1,999 list price and on par with the lowest price we have tracked this year.
But how much do you value that 1TB of storage here?
Amazon is also offering the more powerful 14-Inch M4 for MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD down at the same $1,779 shipped list price right now.
Now there’s nothing particular new about this decision as both of these models carry the same $1,999 list price from Apple. But it certainly begs the question – how much do you need the double storage action?
For me it’s an easy answer – go for the horsepower on the M4 Pro all the way and stick a portable SSD in there, no questions asked. For some it might not be so easy. I do know folks that seriously value the upgraded storage – I often times tell them they are wrong and don’t, but hey, to each their own.
Either way we are looking at a match of the lowest prices we have tracked this year on these models and a great chance to score $220 off the list price on a shiny new M4 series MacBook Pro.
Score $766 off an unlocked 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max today (Amazon Renewed Premium, 1-year warranty)
As part of the now live Big Spring SaleAmazon’s Renewed Premium program is offering a giant price drop on the 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max. This device fetched $1,599 at this time last year and you can now score an unlocked unit on Amazon from $832.99 shipped. That’s $766 off the original price and the lowest price we can find from a refurbishment program as reputable as Amazon’s that also delivers a solid 1-year warranty. This is the lowest price we have tracked from Amazon on this configuration. Details below.
It’s certainly no iPhone 16, but scoring an unlocked iPhone 16 Pro Max with the upgraded 1TB of storage is going to cost you a whole lot more than this – it fetches the same $1,599 this model used to go for. The series 16 devices did make some notable upgrades to the camera array, not to mention adding the new Camera Control button along the edge of the bezel, but if you ask me, anyone looking to score a serious deal on an iPhone right now ought to consider the Amazon Renewed Premium program and should very much be looking towards either the 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max.
If you don’t care about the latest and greatest, a device from a few generations back is just fine. But the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, as we have highlighted previously, are the only two models outside of the series 16 handsets that support Apple Intelligence and who knows what other features will get introduced down the line the older device won’t be able to handle.
As for the Amazon Renewed Premium units, they are, in our experience, among the best refurbs in the renewed iPhone business and include a full 1-year warranty.
Amazon now clearing out 24GB 15-inch M3 MacBook Airs at a $1,349 low ($550 off the original price)
The M4 MacBook Air has now arrived and we are tracking some straight up $50 price drops across just about every configuration already. But if you can make the still quite capable M3 model work for you, we just spotted a particularly notable deal on an upgraded 15-inch model. Amazon is now offering the 24GB 15-inch MacBook Air with the 512GB SSD in all four colorways down at $1,349 shipped – that’s as much as $550 off the original price of this configuration. Details below.
The configuration is question here saw an official price drop of sorts last fall when Apple shuffled its RAM options up a notch – the 8GB model is gone in favor of a 16GB configuration without raising the price. This effectively dropped the official MSRP of every model down $200.
This machine carried an $1,899 list price before last October before the 24GB 15-inch Air dropped to $1,699 – today’s deal, which is a new Amazon all-time low, is $550 under the original price and $350 under the price it landed at after the RAM bump.
But how does this stack up to the new M4 MacBook Air? They did receive a nice price drop on top of the same RAM upgrade after all.
A 15-inch M4 MacBook Air with the same specs as the model featured above fetches a $1,599 list price at Apple and is now on sale at Amazon for $1,549so you’re still saving $250 with the M3 model here.
But just keep in mind, a 24GB 13-inch M4 model carries a list price at $1,399 and you can score one right now at the same $1,349 shipped as the 15-incher detailed above.
So a better a question might be, how much do you value the 15-inch display? You can score the brand new 13-inch with the same RAM and SSD capacity at the same price right now.
Now even lower: Apple’s 24GB M4 Pro Mac mini just dropped again to new all-time low at $200 off, more from $529
Update: Hello! Amazon just knocked another $50 off the M4 Pro Mac mini to deliver a new all-time low at $1,199 shipped. Regularly $1,399, you can now score the upgraded machine with the M4 Pro chip, 24GB of RAM, and the 512GB SSD at $200 off – this is the best Amazon price we have ever tracked and the lowest all-time.
Today’s accessories and charging deals:
Apple’s latest AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation drop back to Amazon 2025 low at $149 today, base set at $100
The AirPods Pro 2 deal down at $170 is still live, and we still have the base model AirPods 4 sitting at the $100 lowbut the elevated AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are getting in on the Amazon Big Spring Sale today too. Regularly $179, Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation down back down at $148.99 shipped – this is matching our previous mention and the lowest price we have tracked this year there.
While we did catch a short-lived offer on the ANC AirPods 4 ahead of Christmas last year at the $139 Amazon all-time low, today’s deal is otherwise on par with the best we have seen otherwise. There have also been some extremely fleeting, almost spammy, offers from less than desirable online retailers for less, but just about no one had a chance to scoop them up and I’m not sure you would have even wanted too anyway – I didn’t.
Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 remain the gold standard in Apple in-ear listening experiences if you ask me (and million of others) – they were after all one of the most popular products among 9to5Toys readers last year despite the newer AirPods 4 hitting the market last fall, and were featured in our 9to5Toys’ Favorite Things of 2024 feature for this reason.
That said, the AirPods 4 are a less pricey endeavor and one that we came away quite impressed with after getting hands-on last year – Hands-on with AirPods 4: better in every way.
Joining the active noise cancelation, Siri hands- and voice-free interactionsVoice Isolation, and Personalized Spatial Audio tech, they land with a redesigned earbud form-factor featuring a “refined contour, shorter stem, and quick-press controls for music or calls” alongside a case that is the “smallest in the industry with wireless charging”
Eve’s thread-enabled Matter and HomeKit Energy smart plugs up to 27% off: 1 for $30 or 2 for $55
As part of the ongoing Amazon Big Spring Sale and all of the notable Eve smart home deals we are trackingwe are now highlighting a notable offer on Eve Energy – the brand’s Matter-equipped smart plugs. While the single unit listing has dropped from $40 down to$29.95 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35, you can also score the 2-pack down at $54.95 shipped from the usual $75 right now as well.
Clearly the $30 single is less cash out of pocket today, but if you can put two of these more premium smart plugs to good use, the per unit price on the 2-pack at $55 is better. The 2-pack is also now matching the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon to deliver some of the better smart plugs in the game that work across just about any smart home platform you’re on.
These are the latest Matter models – whether you’re whole setup is a HomeKit one, or you have some family members on Android, or you use Alexa and Google Assistant gear, the Eve Energy is good to go:
