Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is ready to roll starting off with a particularly notable deal on this 512GB 13-inch M3 iPad Air – these things are rarely ever better than $150 off, but this one is $250 off right now if you’re quick. We also spotted a chance for folks to land the latest black Apple Watch Ultra 3 at as much as $159 off the list price right now alongside an ongoing shot at the Jet Black Apple Watch Series 11 at $100 off.

On the accessory front we have new all-time lows on select Apple Crossbody Strap colors at up to 60% off, ZAGG’s magnetic Pro 2 Apple Pencil alternative at $30 (Reg. $80), and an exclusive deal on SANDMARC’s brand new 24x zoom Tetraprism 72mm iPhone Lens. Check it all out down below.  You will find several of the base model M3 iPad Air configurations at up to $120 off the list prices over at Amazon right now, but we happen to just spot a particularly notable discount on this 13-inch 512GB model at nearly $250 off the list price – the M3 iPad is rarely discounted this much.  Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest 13-inch M3 iPad Air with the 512GB storage capacity and the Wi-Fi + Cell connectivity at $999.99 shipped.

This is a regularly $1,249 configuration at just shy of $250 off the list price. This deal is matching the lowest price we have tracked on this particular model and a deal we have only ever seen once before today on Amazon.  As is usually the case with these particularly rare and deep discounts on the latest iPad Air lineup, the special deal price above is only available on the gray color option right now.

And if deals like we have seen previously are any indication, it will remain the only color option that drops this low today, and it probably won’t last for very long.  Again, there are some solid $120 price drops live on the more affordable Wi-Fi only models, including the least pricey 128GB variant, but catching any of those anywhere near $250 off in brand new condition is next to unheard of.

These base models went $150 off for Black Friday and the holidays last year, and are almost never on sale for any better than that. Deals on brand new condition Apple Watch Ultra 3 models remain relatively light over at Amazon and from all major retailers, but there are some deep deals to be had nonetheless. You will find price drops on Amazon right now, but nothing nearly as deep as the “excellent” open-box and “excellent-refurbished” options over at Best Buy right now.

Details below. Firstly, let’s take a look at the “excellent” condition open-box units with 1-year warranties shipping directly from Best Buy – prices have dropped or are within a few bucks of our previous mention on various configurations. Prices aren’t as low as the refurb options below, but you will get a 1-year warranty here: For an even lower price, you’ll want to look towards the highly-rated third-party seller Network Store via Best Buy.

Just about all black Ultra 3 configurations are now seeing even deeper deals than our previous mentions at up to $159 off: Amazon is now offering a few originally $799 Apple Watch Ultra 2 configs down at$439 shipped right now – Natural Titanium with blue Ocean Band, Natural Titanium with white Ocean Band, and the Black Titanium model with the Black Ocean Band. You’re looking at Amazon Renewed Premium units with 365-day coverage too.

Originally $799, all three of these models are $360 off the list prices and well below any of the deals we have tracked in brand new condition. There have been several opportunities to land Ultra 2 at $250 off in brand new condition, and you can still grab some configs at that price right now ($549), but anything much more than that is unlikely anytime soon. We have caught some notable refurbished Apple Watch Ultra 2 deals recently for a touch less than this, but these deals we have here are shipping and sold directly from Amazon with a “365-day refund / replacement.” The previous offers were legit, but the direct from Amazon option might provide some folks with far more peace of mind than the Grade A refurbished units from Woot – it had some of these models down at $400.  And just comparison’s sake, we will drop down the current deal pricing on Apple’s latest Ultra 3.

The new prices at Amazon are still relatively light discounts, but you can find several configs at $154 off the list prices courtesy of Best Buy’s “excellent” condition open-box units right now.
