Apple Accessory Deals: Pencil Pro, Watch Ultra 3, Crossbody Strap, and More

Alongside the ongoing $100 price drops on Apple Watch Series 11 models from $299, as well as the $300 discounts on M5 MacBook Pro configurations, today's 9to5Toys Lunch Break is featuring a series of notable Apple accessory deals. We have Apple Pencil Pro from $70 (up to 45% off), the Terra Cotta orange Alpine Loop with the Black Titanium finish at 44% off, and a new all-time low on the black Apple Crossbody Strap. Those offers also join a chance to land Apple Watch Ultra 3 at as much as $104 off and the Apple 240W USB-C Woven Charge Cable back at $18. Head below for a closer look.

One of the best prices ever on Apple Pencil Pro: Best Buy open-box now $70 (45% off list)

If you're looking to upgrade your iPad experience with Apple Pencil Pro, but without spending the $94+ it costs at Amazon, this Best Buy open-box offer is a very good one. You can now land one down at $69.99 with a 1-year Apple warranty.

Now significantly undercutting our previous mention on Best Buy's open-box offers, you'll now find "excellent" condition Apple Pencil Pro units sitting down at $69.99 shipped. This is one of the lowest prices we have ever tracked.

Here's some additional details on Best Buy's open-box "excellent" listings:

• Geek Squad Verified
• Works and looks like new
• Restored to factory settings
• Includes all parts and accessories
• Packaging may vary or be absent
• 1-year Apple warranty

Regularly $129, this is more than 45% off the list price. While Apple Pencil Pro has been readily available at retail for between $94 and $99 for quite a long while – this is effectively the regular price for one of these – we are still talking about as much as 30% off here. Today's deal lands at $11 under our previous mention, which, as far as Apple Pencil Pro pricing goes, is actually quite a lot. They are very rarely available for less than $80.

Alongside the new M5 Pro machines, here are the iPad models it is compatible with:

• iPad Pro 13-inch (M4)
• iPad Pro 11-inch (M4)
• iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and M3)
• iPad Air 11-inch (M2 and M3)
• iPad mini (A17 Pro)

Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 configs up to $104 off at Best Buy (Open-box, 1-yr. warranty)

We caught some short-lived $99 price drops on the latest black Watch Ultra 3 over the holidays last year, but these offers were quite limited. They were, for the most part, only live on the large band-size configs and only on select models of them, however Amazon is offering some slight price drops to deliver new all-time low pricing on the small and medium size options today, while Best Buy is offering as much as $104 off "excellent" open-box listings.

Again, the new unit deals at Amazon are slight for the most part, but we are talking about all-time low pricing on much of them:

• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Black Alpine Loop $768 (Reg. $799)
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Black Trail Loop $768 (Reg. $799)
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Blue Trail Loop $768 (Reg. $799)

However, if you don't mind going with an "excellent" condition open-box unit with a 1-year Apple warranty, there are much better prices to be had. You'll find up to $94 off the standard band options and as much as $104 off the elevated config with the gorgeous black Milanese Loop attached:

• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Black Alpine Loop $705 (Reg. $799)
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Black Trail Loop $707 (Reg. $799)
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Black Ocean Band $719 (Reg. $799)
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Milanese Loop $795 (Reg. $899)

And even more…

Here are some additional details on these top-end open-box listings from Best Buy:

• Geek Squad Verified
• Works and looks like new
• Restored to factory settings
• Includes all parts and accessories
• Packaging may vary or be absent
• 1-year Apple warranty

We might very well start to see proper discounts on the brand new Ultra 3 models at some point later in the year, but thus far price drops have been light at best. Even the Black Friday offers were quite limited, so it's hard to say if or when we will get something particularly substantial before the major summer sale season begins.

New all-time low hits Apple's Natural Milanese Loop at 35% off, black model also marked down

Apple's Terra Cotta orange Alpine Loop with the Black Titanium finish hits Amazon low at 44% off

Apple's black Crossbody Strap hits new Amazon all-time low, more up to 47% off

While there are several colors of Apple's new Crossbody Strap sitting down at even lower prices (you'll find those below), we wanted to highlight the black colorway this morning. This one hasn't seen nearly as many price drops as the others but it is now approaching 30% off to deliver a new Amazon all-time low.

Amazon is now offering the black model Apple Crossbody Strap down at $42.81 shipped. Regularly $59, this one held strong at the full MSRP from last September at launch right through to late January when it saw its very first price drop. Since then it has dropped to just over $50 then again to $48, but it has now hit its best price to date at 27% off the list price.

As mentioned above, if you're not into the black colorway, pricing is even lower on a series of other models right now as well:

• Apple Crossbody Strap Sienna $30.50 (Reg. $59)
• Apple Crossbody Strap Tan $33 (Reg. $59)
• Apple Crossbody Strap Green $31 (Reg. $59)
• Apple Crossbody Strap Neon Yellow $31 (Reg. $59)
• Apple Crossbody Strap Purple $33 (Reg. $59)
• Apple Crossbody Strap Blue $38 (Reg. $59)

While the Blue and Light Blue models have sold for less than this, the rest of the colors in the list above are now either at new Amazon lows or within $0.50 of the best we have tracked to date. The Apple Crossbody Strap isn't as universally appealing as some Apple accessories out there, but if you are in the market for one there are some notable deals up for grabs on the regularly $59 add-on.

Big-time $300 price drops hit Apple's latest M5 MacBook Pro: 24GB and 32GB models

This week is ushering in the best prices we have tracked to date on Apple's latest M5 MacBook Pro lineup. Led by a series of $300 price drops over at B&H on select configurations, we are looking at prices that undercut just about all of the deals we spotted over the Black Friday deal season, Amazon included.

Alongside the 24GB model with the 512GB SSD you see in the list below that we featured yesterday, there are also a pair of upgraded models with 32GB RAM setups now sitting at $300 under the list price at Apple and elsewhere:

• 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro 24GB/512GB $1,499 (Reg. $1,799)
• 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro 32GB/512GB $1,699 (Reg. $1,999)
• 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro 32GB/1TB $1,899 (Reg. $2,199)

It is worth pointing out that while Amazon is offering as much as $200 off the configurations it carries, it does not offer any of these particular setups – there are no 32GB models available at Amazon and the only 24GB setup is much more pricey with a 1TB SSD. This is where B&H really shines when it comes to MacBook. It offers seriously great deals on configs that you would normally have to go straight to Apple for in many cases.

While retailers like Amazon tend to remain entirely competitive and often times have lower prices on the configs they carry, these are deals you just won't get there. That said, Amazon's M5 MacBook deals have thus far maxed out at $250 off – this is the deal we featured during the holidays at the end of 2025. And that leaves the B&H offers up for grabs right now some of, if not, the very best we have tracked if you're into these RAM/storage packages.

As we move into February, we are starting to see an influx of notable deals on Apple gear. Alongside the return of $100 price drops across the Apple Watch Series 11 lineup and ongoing AirPods 4 deals, Amazon is also now offering $100 off just about all iPad mini 7 models.

Amazon is now offering Apple's latest iPad mini starting from $399 shipped. All four colors on the most affordable 128GB configuration are now $99 off the regular $499 list price.

• iPad mini 128GB $399 (Reg. $499)
• iPad mini 256GB $500 (Reg. $599)
• iPad mini 512GB $700 (Reg. $799)

As you can see above, Amazon is once again offering folks a shot at landing Apple's ultra manageable and relatively affordable iPad mini 7 at nearly $100 off across all storage capacities. Outside of the extremely short-lived Cyber Monday all-time low at $150 off, this is within $1 of the best deal we tracked for Black Friday last year. There have been a few chances at scoring one for $120 off, largely during Prime events, but you're still looking at a notable price on one of the most affordable tablets in the current-generation lineup.

Apple Watch Series 11 back to Amazon all-time low at $100 off starting from $299 today (All colors/sizes)

Amazon has now brought back its holiday all-time low pricing across the Apple Watch Series 11 lineup. You'll now find all colors and sizes it offers on the most affordable 42mm and 46mm models at $100 off.

Amazon is now offering the 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 down at $299 shipped and the 46mm model down at $329 shipped. Both sizes are now live at the discounted rate in all four case colors: Jet Black, Rose Gold, Silver, and Space Gray.

• 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 from $299 (Reg. $399)
• 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 $329 (Reg. $429)
• 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 Cell $399 (Reg. $499)
• 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 Cell $429 (Reg. $529)

As you can see in the list above, today's deals knock a straight up $100 off the list prices to mark the return of the best we have tracked at Amazon on the most affordable configurations. The same $100 discount also happens to be live on the least pricey GPS + Cell variants as well.

Amazon and other retailers dropped the Series 11 wearable that Apple debuted last September for the first time in the lead up to Black Friday before offering $70 discounts at the end of November. But as we reported previously, we finally saw the same $100 price drop we have here today land in the second week of December for folks looking to land one ahead of Christmas.

The only models we have seen with deeper deals than we have above have largely landed on the far more expensive titanium case models with the GPS + Cell setups. So while we have seen some of these premium configs for less, you will find all of the models Amazon sells also now sitting at $100 off the list prices right now.
