Joining the Black Friday in July price drops on AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Max at $100 off, and AirTag 2 back at all-time lows, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by a massive $500 price drop on the 2TB M5 Pro MacBook Pro today at Amazon and, if you’re quick Apple Watch Series 11 Cell models hitting new all-time lowsat $150 off. We also have Twelve South’s wall charger meets MagSafe mount PowerBug at 30% off, the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery at 40% off, a wide-ranging Anker Black Friday in July sale live from $8. Head below for a closer look.
Massive $500 price drop hits 2TB M5 Pro MacBook Pro today at Amazon
Prices on MacBook did just go up, but Amazon is nonetheless offering a giant $500 off the 24GB/2TB M5 Pro MacBook Pro as of this morning. This is very close to approaching the best we have tracked even before the price hikes went live. Details below.
Amazon is now offering the 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 2TB storage capacity down at $2,499 shipped.
Considering this is now a regularly $2,999 machine at Apple and elsewhere, you’re looking at seriously sizable $500 off here. This deal is live on both the Space Black and Silver models.
This is the best deal we have tracked on an M5 Pro machine since the price increases took hold at major retailers.
Previous to today, Amazon has maxed out savings on this machine at $300 off, but it just knocked another $200 off the total.
This is still not quite as low as the prices we tracked for this configuration previous to the official price hike, but there’s not a whole lot we can do about that and there’s no going back now. All things considered, and keeping in mind just how much the price increased for this machine roughly a month ago now, this deal is within just $100 of the lowest price we have ever seen on this M5 Pro all-time.
If you are looking to upgrade, this is not a deal you’ll want to sleep on.

Apple’s AirTag 2 down as low as $22 each is one of this year’s best Black Friday in July deals
There has been a number of particularly standout deals going live this week for Black Friday in July, not the least of which is the ongoing AirPods Pro 3 deal, up to $180 off Apple Watch Series 11, and AirPods Max 2 at $100 off. But the return low onApple’s 2026 AirTag 2 4-pack is certainly one of them.
Currently down at $89, the 4-pack of the latest AirTag 2 already has some savings built-in – a single AirTag 2 costs $29, but the regularly $99 4-pack brings that price down to under $26.
However, with the return all-time low live this week at $89 for four of them, you’re looking at just over $22 per Tag here on Apple’s latest and greatest item tracker.
- AirTag 2 $27 (Reg. $29)
- AirTag 2 (4-pack) $89 (Reg. $99)
While the single AirTag 2 listing isn’t down quite as low as we were tracking during Prime Day last month, the 4-pack is. This is matching the best price we have ever tracked on the 4-pack in terms of straight up cash discounts on brand new condition units – this is better than most of the open-box deals we have tracked up until now as well.
If you are looking to land yourself some of Apple’s enhanced new AirTags this summer, now is as good a time as any.
Apple Watch Series 11 Cell models just hit best Amazon prices ever at up to $180 off
While you can still score the base models from $299, we are now tracking some new Amazon all-time lows and the best prices we have tracked to date on a series of Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cell models at up to $180 off the list prices – 42mm from $350 and this impressively low 46mm model down at $350. These deals are not likely to last for long.
Amazon is now offering the 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cell model down at $349.97 shipped. Regularly $499 that’s a solid 30% or $150 off the list price and the best we have ever tracked, Black Friday and Prime Day included.
Amazon is also offering the 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cell model down at the same $349.97 shipped. That’s, perhaps, even more impressive considering this is a regularly $529 configuration that is now also at a new Amazon all-time low with $180 in savings.
The only real caveat here is the color options, which is to be expected to some degree at prices like this. As of the time of writing, only the Space Gray model is available at a price this low on the larger 46mm model, but both the Jet Black and Space Gray 42mm variants are seeing the special deal pricing this morning.
Now, the 46mm is indeed a deeper deal and an impressive one at that, but not necessarily better if you want the more compact 42mm model – these are both seriously banger deals and the best prices Amazon has ever offered them for. And chances are, if they are anything like the special Cell model deals we have tracked this week for Black Friday in July, will not stick around for long.

Black Friday in July iPhone 17 Pro deals up to $220 off (Amazon Renewed Premium), or 17 Pro Max up to $449 off
We have tracked a number of chances to land refurbished iPhone 17 Pro units this year, but we wanted to highlight Amazon’s top-quality Renewed Premium discounts for Black Friday in July week – you can land iPhone 17 Pro with a 1-year Amazon Renewed Guarantee at up to$220 off right now.
Black Friday in July iPhone 17 Pro deals
These listings are shipped and sold directly from Amazon, come along with its 1-year Amazon Renewed Guarantee, and “greater than 90% original battery life.” Aside from the actual condition of the phone being the best renewed units Amazon carries, this is also the main difference between Amazon “excellent refurbished” units and Renewed Premium – you get a full year of coverage and a proper battery.
Yes, we have seen the excellent refurbs sell for less, but the it comes to landing a deal on a high-quality unit, Amazon’s Renewed Premium continues to be one of, if not, the best option out there.
When it comes to the larger iPhone 17 Pro Max, the ongoing Woot deals are still too good to pass up. These are “PRISTINE and have never been in customer hands” and includes a “test sticker showing 100% battery life and inside a sleek custom black box.” In other words, they are essentially brand new but you don’t get the Apple packaging and they are “NOT AppleCare eligible.” But at up to $449 off, this seems a worthy trade-off for some folks.
- iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB $1,300 (Reg. $1,399)
- iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB $1,450 (Reg. $1,599)
- iPhone 17 Pro Max 2TB $1,550 (Reg. $1,999)

Apple’s 2026 AirPods Max 2 now $100 off for Black Friday in July (All colors)
Alongside the ongoing $50 price drop on AirPods Pro 3 and the return all-time low on the new AirTag 2, one of the better Black Friday in July deals knocks $100 offthe 2026 AirPods Max 2.
Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest AirPods Max 2 down at $449 shipped, which is a straight up $100 off the $549 list price for the best deal around right now.
This deal is live on all five colors: Midnight, Blue, Orange, Starlight, and Orange.
You’re looking at the lowest price we have tracked on the latest-generation Apple over-ears outside of the short-lived Prime Day price that saw most colors going out of stock before the event even ended. Today’s deal is the only other time we have seen them at better than $50 off since release earlier this year.
With the major summer shopping season typically culminating around the July Prime Day event that was bumped a month earlier this year, this 2026 Black Friday in July price might very well be the best deal we track on Max 2 before the fall. If you’re looking to land a set for the summer and beyond still, the $100 off might very well be the best price we see until the Black Friday deal season kicks into overdrive (or, more likely, the very early Black Friday deal season that, as of late, starts to kick in come October).
They look the same as the previous AirPods Max (USB-C), but there are notable upgrades under the hood here starting with the H2 chip. This delivers a new and improved amp for better sound quality alongside enhanced active noise cancellation, Camera remote control, and more you can read about in our hands-on review:
