Deals: M3 MacBook Air up to $470 off, unlocked iPhone 15 $119 off, Alpine and Trail Loop lows, more

Deals on the 1TB M4 MacBook Pro at $200 off are indeed still live, but today we are moving back over to the M3 MacBook Air – the most affordable 13- and 15-inch models are now also $200 off while open-box listings are as much as $470 off the original prices before the RAM upgrade. For today only, we are also tracking some rare deals on brand new unlocked iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus units from $680, or $119 off the launch prices, joined by return lows on the official Alpine and Trail Loops for Apple Watch Ultra. All of that joins some Sonos home theater deals, charging gear, and more down below. 

Apple’s most affordable 15-inch current-gen MacBook is now $200 off, open-box at $470 under the original list

We are still tracking solid price drops across just about every configuration in the current-generation M3 MacBook Air lineup, as detailed below. And you can now score all four colors of the base model 15-inch variant with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD at $200 off – it is now back down to $1,099 shipped. Regularly $1,299, and more like $1,499 before Apple upped its RAM game to 16GB on the base models, this is the most affordable 15-inch laptop in Apple’s current lineup at $200 off the list price and $400 under the original listing from October of last year. 

This deal is also matched at Best Buy on all colors outside of the Starlight with the only better deal coming by way of its open-box listings that ship with a full 1-year warranty. Pricing kicks off from $1,028.99 on the Space Gray variant, or $470 off the regular price this model would have fetched last fall before the RAM upgrade, and goes up a touch from there on the other color options.

These devices launched with starting prices at $799 and $899 and are now listed at $119 less through today at Best Buy.

Regularly $99, this is nearly 15% off and the lowest price we can find. Today’s deal lands on par with just about every price drop we have tracked on the latest crop of official band options from Apple, although this is the lowest we have seen on this particularly size and color. 

Joining the Tan Alpine Loop above, Amazon is also now offering the blue Trail Loop down at the $85.99 shipped low, down from the regular $99. This price is now live on the blue model with the black or natural titanium finishes as well.

Latest 16GB M4 MacBook Pro with 1TB SSD now back down at $1,599 all-time low ($200 off)

Update: This deal is now live once again. Details below in the original post.

Amazon has now dropped the price on Apple’s new M4 MacBook Pro with the 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD back down to its best price ever. We are indeed still tracking some notable price drops on the M4 Pro machines as well as this wild deal on an M3 Pro configuration at up to $1,000 off, but you can now indeed land the 16GB/1TB M4 MacBook Pro down at $1,599 shipped in Space Black right now. 

Regularly $1,799, this model is now $200 off the going rate and matching the lowest price we have tracked since its debut last October – today’s deal is $29 under our previous mention on this one and on par with both the Black Friday sale price and the brief deal we spotted right at Christmas. 

Bring home a 46mm Jet Black Apple Watch Series 10 for 2025 at $113 off (Open-box, full warranty)

Apple Watch Series 10 makes for a wonderful companion to help power you through 2025 fitness resolutions and stay motivated throughout the year. While the $70 holiday all-time lows at Amazon have come and gone now, Best Buy’s open-box listings in “excellent” condition are here to deliver even better prices with full 1-year Apple warranties in tow. One of the highlight offers here has the 46mm Jet Black model down at $315.99 shipped, or $113 off to deliver one of the best prices yet. Scope out the details below. 

The 46mm Jet Black model featured up top is currently selling for $412 in brand new condition via Amazon where it has never gone for less than the $359 we featured for Black Friday last year. 

For comparison’s sake, the smaller 42mm in silver or rose gold are down at $318.99 and $347.99 shipped, respectively. The open-box 42mm Jet Black is selling for a touch more than the 46mm right now at $316.99 shipped. All of these offers are indeed the lowest we can find in this sort of condition with the full Apple warranty, but they have all sold for less in the past via the Best Buy open-box program.
