Apple Watch Series 11, M5 MacBook Pro, and iPad mini Hit Lowest Prices Yet

The first 9to5Toys Lunch Break of February brings a wave of significant price drops on Apple's latest hardware, with several products hitting their lowest prices to date. Amazon has revived its holiday pricing across the Apple Watch Series 11 lineup, offering $100 discounts on all configurations, while B&H Photo delivers a particularly compelling deal on the M5 MacBook Pro that's hard to match elsewhere.

Apple Watch Series 11 Returns to All-Time Low Pricing

Amazon has brought back its holiday all-time low pricing across the entire Apple Watch Series 11 lineup. The most affordable 42mm and 46mm models are now available at $100 off their regular prices, with the 42mm version dropping to $299 shipped and the 46mm model to $329 shipped. These discounts apply to all four case colors: Jet Black, Rose Gold, Silver, and Space Gray.

Beyond the GPS models, the GPS + Cellular variants are also seeing the same $100 discount. The 42mm GPS + Cellular version is now $399 (regularly $499), while the 46mm GPS + Cellular model is $429 (regularly $529). This pricing matches the best we've tracked at Amazon on the most affordable configurations since the Series 11's September debut.

While Amazon and other retailers offered $70 discounts during the Black Friday period, the $100 price drop didn't materialize until the second week of December. The only models that have seen deeper discounts are the premium titanium case configurations, but for the standard aluminum models, these represent the best prices available.

M5 MacBook Pro Deal You Won't Find Elsewhere

B&H Photo is offering what might be the most compelling MacBook Pro deal of the season. The Space Black M5 MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and 512GB SSD is now $300 off at $1,499 shipped. To put this in perspective, configuring the same machine with identical specs directly from Apple would cost $1,799.

This deal is particularly noteworthy because the most affordable 24GB M5 MacBook Pro configuration Amazon sells comes with a 1TB SSD and carries a $1,999 list price. Even at Amazon's current pricing of $1,825, it's never dropped below the $1,749 all-time low seen during Black Friday.

For those prioritizing RAM over storage capacity, this B&H offer delivers exceptional value. At $1,499 with 24GB of RAM, it's $100 less than Amazon's current price for the 16GB/1TB configuration. This is only the second time we've seen an M5 MacBook Pro discounted by $300 online since release, making it a rare opportunity for buyers seeking maximum performance at minimum cost.

iPad mini 7 Nears Best-Ever Pricing

Amazon is offering nearly $100 off across the entire iPad mini 7 lineup. The base 128GB configuration in all four colors is now $399.99 shipped, down from the regular $499 list price. Higher storage tiers are also discounted: the 256GB model is $500 (regularly $599) and the 512GB version is $700 (regularly $799).

Outside of an extremely short-lived Cyber Monday all-time low at $150 off, this pricing is within $1 of the best deal tracked during Black Friday. While there have been a few instances of $120 discounts during Prime events, the current $100-off pricing still represents a notable reduction on one of the most affordable tablets in Apple's current-generation lineup.

Additional Apple Accessories and Peripherals on Sale

Several other Apple accessories are seeing significant price reductions:

• AirPods 4 with ANC: Now 33% off at $120, with the base model at $100
• Midnight AirPods Max (USB-C): Nearly $120 off at Amazon
• Apple Crossbody Strap: Multiple colors hitting new all-time lows from $26.50 (up to 55% off the $59 list price)
• Powerbeats Pro 2: $50 off at $199.95 shipped (20% discount across all four colors)
• Anker Prime Wireless Charging Station: Launching today at $119.99 shipped with a $30 on-page coupon (down from $150 list price)

Why These Deals Matter

These discounts arrive at a strategic time for Apple shoppers. The Series 11 watches represent the latest generation of Apple's most popular wearable, and seeing them at their lowest prices makes now an attractive time for upgrades. The M5 MacBook Pro deal is particularly significant because it offers a configuration that's difficult to find at this price point elsewhere, especially with the 24GB RAM option that's crucial for power users.

The iPad mini 7 pricing brings Apple's most portable tablet closer to impulse-buy territory, while the accessory discounts provide opportunities to enhance the Apple ecosystem without paying premium prices.

For consumers weighing their options in Apple's current hardware lineup, these deals represent some of the best value propositions available, particularly for those who missed holiday pricing or are looking to upgrade specific components like RAM in their MacBook Pro configurations.

As we move deeper into 2026, these price drops suggest Apple retailers are clearing inventory ahead of potential new product launches, making this an opportune moment for buyers to secure current-generation hardware at significant savings.
