Alongside the reveal and subsequent pre-order deals we have featured on the brand new M4 MacBook Air, the iPad (A16), and the new M3 iPad Air, Apple unleashed its new spring collection of cases, Apple Watch bands, and more. We detailed these new colorways over at 9to5Mac yesterday, but we happen to just spot the brand new Aquamarine iPhone 16 Silicone Case with MagSafe and Camera Control down at just $22.99 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. This is a regularly $49 that was literally just unveiled yesterday and is now sitting one of the lowest prices we have ever tracked for any official Apple iPhone 16 cases. Note: it is currently listed as “temporary out of stock” at Amazon right now, but you can still lock-in the discounted price tag. 

Update 2: Pre-order listings are now live on Amazon for both the 13-inch and 15-inch M4 MacBook Air configurations.

Update: On top of the trade offers below, Best Buy’s paid My Best Buy members can also score $50 off select all configurations without a trade-in.

While we are still tracking some deep discounts on the now previous-gen M3 models, Apple has officially unleashed the new M4 MacBook Air with a new Sky Blue colorway, and we are already tracking some notable pre-order savings opportunities. While for some folks the M3 Air they might have just scooped up over the holidays or with this year’s re-stock is just fine still, those looking to trade up for the new M4 model (or the sweet Sky Blue) colorway can flip a base model 16GB/256GB to score $550 off the new model at Best Buy right now. Details below.

Today we are taking a hands-on look at the new Spigen Tag Me item locators – the brand’s latest AirTag competitors that surfaced earlier this year. They might be about half the price of an AirTag, the question is whether or it’s worth saving the cash or not? Head below for some hands-on impressions of the new Spigen Find My AirTag competitors.

Update: The new M3 iPad Air models are now available for pre-order at Amazon:

• Apple 11-inch M3 iPad Air from $599
• Apple 13-inch M3 iPad Air from $799

Apple unleashed its all-new M3 iPad Air lineup this morning and we are now tracking elevated trade-in rates and straight up deals for Best Buy members looking to upgrade from the M2 model (or anything else for that matter). Best Buy is now offering as much $650 off the M3 iPad Air starting today when you flip your M2 Air against your pre-order of the new model – providing it is in good condition anyway. The details are below. 

The new Apple Find My-equipped Nomad Tracking Card is making its worldwide debut today. I have talked on end about these slim card-style wallet trackers in the past, posted on social about how much I love them, and now one of our favorite Apple accessory brands is entering the space for the first time. It will be available for purchase directly from the official Nomad site at any time now, but be sure to head below for more details and some of our early hands-on impressions of the new Nomad Apple Find My Tracking Card. 

Nintendo has now officially announced Mario Day 2025. Perhaps better known as MAR10, every year on March 10 Nintendo celebrates the world’s most famous plumber and the rest of the gang with a host of major price drops, a new console bundle or two (we uncovered a really early look at that – it’s already up for sale right now), My Nintendo challenges and events, and this year, a look at the real-life JetBlue Aircraft Featuring Mario and Friends we featured images of this morning. Head below for more details on the 2025 Mario Day festivities. 

Just after the reveal and launch of its new CREAMi ice cream maker with a soft-serve dispenser, Ninja is back at it again with its new Artisan Outdoor Pizza Oven. Clearly looking to get a head start on upcoming spring/summer backyard pizza parties, the new model delivers on the similarly attractive design of the previous Woodfire models, but is aimed at being much easier to use and, perhaps best of all, come in at a more affordable price tag. 

Update: Pre-orders are now live:

• Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Standard $49.99
• Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Collector’s Edition $129.99

The Birdman is back folks! It is now official – The Tony Hawk series is making a triumphant return once again this summer as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 has now been revealed alongside the debut trailer. What sounds like an epic nostalgic return to form, everything you know and love about the originals appear to be making a comeback alongside new skaters, parks, tricks, and modernized visuals. Scope out the trailer below. 

As part of its latest Spring Video Game Sale, Woot is giving Switch gamers another shot at the lowest price we have tracked on the new Donkey Kong Country Returns HD remake at $44.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). Regularly $60, this is a straight up 25% off and matching the lowest we have tracked outside of some YMMV and in-store offers. This deal lands alongside a host of return Switch game deals you’ll find down below as well. Let’s just hope the reportedly official price increase on Switch games in select regions doesn’t make its way here too.

• Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom $45 (Reg. $70)
• Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom $45 (Reg. $60)
• Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening $42 (Reg. $60)
• Super Mario Bros. Wonder $45 (Reg. $60)
• Super Mario Odyssey $40 (Reg. $60)
• Super Mario RPG $30 (Reg. $60)
• And even more right here and down below
  

Update 3/24: Nintendo has unleashed a new video and some additional imagery of the Nintendo x JetBlue Cloudtop Cruiser…you’ll find them below. 

Update: Nintendo has now officially served up some details on the Mario plane as part of its 2025 Mario Day announcement:

 JetBlue and Nintendo have partnered on a custom livery featuring Mario and friends! The Airbus A320 Restyled aircraft named “Cloudtop Cruiser” features a bright, colorful design featuring Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong and Yoshi. Inside the aircraft, the welcome screens of the plane’s seatback entertainment touchscreens will also include Mario and some of his Mushroom Kingdom pals. JetBlue customers and Nintendo fans can now spot the Cloudtop Cruiser flying throughout JetBlue’s network!

Nintendo just took to its official X account to reveal some official images of the new JetBlue x Nintendo Cloudtop Cruiser – it is now, not arguably, officially the world’s greatest plane. And this one doesn’t just land at Sunshine Airport, Nintendo says this ”Mario & Friends-themed plane might be landing on a runway near you.” Get a closer look below. 

Update: The Space Black 16GB M4 MacBook Pro is still live down at $1,399 shipped, and Amazon has now brought back the silver model at the same price – this is $200 off and matching the lowest price we have tracked. Details below in original post.

After quickly jumping back up in price, we are now once again tracking the base model 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro down at $1,399 shipped in silver and Space Black. While shipping is currently delayed on the silver model, the Space Black is ready to be delivered at the discounted rate right now. This is a regularly $1,599 configuration seeing a straight up $200 price drop to mark the lowest price we can find on Apple’s latest and most affordable M4-equipped laptop. 

March Madness is right around the corner now and if you’re looking to upgrade your home theater setup we just spotted a notable deal on the value-packed 2024 TCL 85-inch QM7 QLED 4K mini-LED Google Smart TV at $1,397.99 shipped via Amazon. This model debuted last year at $2,000 as a mid-tier solution in the lineup, delivering notable specs without getting nearly as pricey as the Q8 series or any of the comparable models from the big three TV brands. Now over $1,200 under the price it launched at, it is matching the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon today. 

Target is now offering one of those wildly popular Stanley 40-ounce Stainless Steel H2.0 FlowState Quencher Tumblers down at $29.25 with free shipping in orders over $35 or with a Target Circle 360 card. Regularly $45, deals on these tumblers don’t come around all too often, and if this colorway catches your eye, it might be a good idea to capitalize on the 35% price drop here. 

While the deal we spotted on the upgraded 24GB model at $100 off over the weekend is still live this morning, Amazon has now dropped the prices even lower on the two more affordable M4 Mac mini configurations. Now both sitting at the best prices of the year, Amazon has the most affordable 16GB/256GB model sitting down at $529 shipped while the upgraded 16GB/512GB model has now dropped to $699 shipped. 

The massive February Discover Samsung sale is now live, but we are taking a short break to uncover the day’s most notable deals on Android apps. Just be sure to scope out the deals we have live on Galaxy S25 Ultra at up to $300 off with a FREE $100 credit, a $180 price drop on the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra with a FREE pair of $180 Galaxy Buds 3, Samsung’s originally $1,300 Odyssey Neo G7 32-inch 4K 165Hz curved gaming monitor at $500, and a whole lot more right here. As for the apps, highlights include titles like Riptide GP: Renegade, Poosh XL, Orbt XL, Lucid Launcher Pro, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

While the Nintendo 2 rumor, leak and news update train has begun to slow to some degree, there’s still some interesting tidbits of information out there worth discussing, not the least of which the potential price increase on Switch 2 games. We recently rounded up the massive number of leaks and feature stories on Switch 2 into one handy guide for you right here, but some recent price hikes on existing Switch games has some folks worried about what’s to come for Switch 2 exclusive.

Woot has been on a roll over the last few months with the Switch game deals but it all came to a screaming halt early this week when it shut down its massive sale. But worry not, just about all of the big-time deals are now back, including first-party Mario and Zelda games, Pokémon titles, and much more, with some prices now down even lower.

You know CASETiFY? The smartphone case company? Of course you do. Well it has turned its best-selling Bounce case for iPhone and other devices into carry-on luggage and we are hands-on today to give it a run for its money and drop down some impressions for folks.

We recently put up our master Nintendo Switch 2 guide, collating all of the details, leaks, and rumors that have surfaced on the next-generation console. Next up, some alleged 3D renders of the Switch 2 dock from historically reliable leaker. While we have already caught  glimpse of the Switch 2 dock in the first-look trailer Nintendo revealed, these supposed official renders of the actual dock give us a 3D look and perhaps some additional details alongside some renders of the Joy-Con Grip and charger. 

This afternoon’s roundup of the best prices courtesy of Google Play are now ready to go. On your way down, be sure to scope out the deals we are tracking on GoPro’s HERO 12 Black Creator Edition at $150 off as well as this $100 price drop on Acer’s latest Chromebook Plus Spin 714 with the Intel Core Ultra, Samsung’s 32-inch M7 4K Smart Monitor at $100 off, and the new super budget-friendly Galaxy A16 back at the $175 Amazon low. As for the apps, highlight include titles like Swim Out, Through the Ages, Galaxy Trucker, Chicken Police, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

While we did happen to coincidentally spot some of these deals popping yesterday (that is what we do after all), Nomad has now officially launched a wide-ranging overstock sale featuring a number of its newer releases for iPhone 16 alongside some bundle offers that combine its wonderful MagSafe chargers with its premium cables and wall chargers too. Head below for a closer look. 

Happy Pokémon Day 2025 Trainers! This year’s celebration lands 29 years to the day since the original Pokémon video games were released in Japan, but perhaps more importantly will almost certainly give us another good look at the upcoming new Pokémon Legends: Z-A game scheduled to come to Switch this year, and quite possibly for Switch 2. The real celebration kicks off this morning with an official Pokémon Presents live stream and you can catch it all down below. 

In an industry where prices just seem to keep going up on both software and hardware, Sony has just announced an official price cut coming to PlayStation VR2. The PS VR2 system has seen its fair share of direct competition from the likes of Meta Quest 3 and others, but Sony is now looking to get more aggressive with its recommended retail pricing on its current-generation PS VR2 to entice gamers to jump into its virtual reality gaming platform through 2025 and into the holiday season come year’s end. 

Update: Journey is now offering a 20% launch deal on the new LOC8 URBAN Find My Key Organizer – discount applies at checkout. 

While we are now tracking a light 10% price drop on the standard models with Find My, Journey has quietly introduced a new, more premium model of its LOC8 Key Organizer, this time with the same Apple tracking and a higher-end Nappa leather finish. Now available for purchase in your choice of three color designs, you can get a closer look below at the new Journey LOC8 URBAN Key Organizer with Find My. 

Your mid-week lineup of the best App Store prices drops for your iPhone and iPad are now ready to go down below.

As for the apps, highlights include titles like Clue: Classic Edition, Codenames, Galaxy Trucker Pocket, Queen Rules, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

Earlier this month Apple’s Beats brand finally unleashed the next-generation Powerbeats Pro 2. After getting a chance to test them out, we said “they’re better in every way” while delivering built-in heart rate monitoring. For some, they easily give the AirPods Pro 2 a run for their money, if not for any other reason than the more secure fit made possible by the now somewhat iconic ear hook design. One thing they are not is on sale – if they are anything like the previous Beats earbuds release, it will be several months before we see a price drop. And that’s where Best Buy’s trade options come into play. Details below. 

Amazon event day has arrived. As we reported previously, Amazon is set to take the stage in New York City today to host a live event promising to reveal “what’s next” from the brand’s in-house tech divisions and Alexa teams. Officially dubbed the Amazon Devices & Services event, everything is set to kick off at 10 a.m. ET and we will have a running live blog below to keep you posted on all of the latest gear and Alexa updates going live on stage this morning down below. 

Elevation Lab has been on a role already in 2025 with a series of new innovations and mounts for Apple’s AirTag item locators. While there might be a new AirTag 2 on the way this year, there’s also a ton of current-gen AirTags out there and Elevation Lab delivers some of the very best ways to put them to use or re-purpose them. Its latest solution has arrived, the new TagVault AirTag Camera. This metal and carbon fiber composite accessory is designed to neatly and securely hide an AirTag in a universal tripod plate. Now available for purchase via the band’s official Amazon storefront, you can get more details and a closer look down below. 

Samsung is still offering some major price drops as part of its hangover Presidents’ Day sale. There are serious chances to save on the brand new S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra not to mention straight up $230 price drops on Galaxy Watch Ultra, among other things, but the deals are also carrying over to its latest Galaxy Tab S10+/Ultra models. You’ll find the S10+ with straight $100 price drops and $120 off the S10 Ultra in both colors alongside bonus add-on offers – solid discounts for sure. That said, you’ll want to head below for a closer look at the Amazon deals today as select models are now even lower and you can score these tablets at a massive $400 off with an S25 purchase.

February feels like it’s taking forever and March might be even worse as Mario Day 2025 will likely just be a reminder of how much longer we will have to wait for Nintendo Switch 2 to actually launch. But we will all just need to be patient at this point, as the scheduled Switch 2 Direct presentation is landing on April 2 and just about everyone presumes pre-orders will go live shortly after that. But when is Switch 2 going to actually release Nintendo? And how much is it going to cost? We need to know and we need to know soon. While these question will likely get answered in early April, a former Nintendo sales strategist has made some public predictions that might end up being the most accurate information we have seen yet. 

While are still tracking some notable deals on the smaller Galaxy Tab S9 FE, the deals have also arrived on the larger Tab S9 FE+. Over on the Samsung site you’ll find all colors and storage capacity options seeing solid $150 price drops with deals at $449.99 shipped on the 128GB model and $549.99 shipped on the 256GB variant. Scroll down to the trade-in section and choose “No, Get $150 Samsung Instant Savings” to redeem the deals. Regularly $600 and $700, respectively, these deals are also live on Amazon, but you will find one particularly configuration for a touch less – the silver 256GB model is now selling for $539 shipped there.

This weekly roundup collects all of the coolest new gadgets, the most interesting updates in the world of tech, and more from the past week, and organizes it into a single handy reading list for you to sift through every Sunday morning.

Good morning and welcome to Best of 9to5Toys Weekly – a one-stop shop for all of the week’s best deals on Apple gear, Samsung and Android tech, accessories for smartphones and Macs, intelligent household upgrades, and even deals to update your wardrobe. The all-new Best of 9to5Toys collects all of the most notable deals and organizes them neatly into one handy catalog for you to peruse every Saturday morning. The big-time post launch Samsung S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra smartphone deals roll on this weekend alongside major price drops on Apple’s 15-inch 16GB M3 MacBook Air, Apple Watch Series 10, and the most affordable 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro. But we are also tracking a massive $500 price drop on Breville’s touchscreen Impress Espresso Machine and plenty of clothing offers from lululemon, Joe’s New Balance, Eddie Bauer, and more. Everything awaits below.

Samsung is giving folks another shot at saving big on its brand new S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra flagship smartphone this weekend. While there were some major pre-order offers up for grabs before the phone started shipping, the Samsung site is not only still offering massive trade-in credit that can knock as much $900 off your order, but it has also brought back the FREE credit action, delivering as much $300 in add-on credit – this can yield massive discounts on add-on gear as well double the storage capacity on your S25 device for FREE. The details await below. 

Mario Day 2025, or MAR10, is just around the corner now, and it looks like this year’s bundle has already “leaked” at Best Buy. In fact, you can already buy it right now. While this year’s Mario Day celebration might be a touch underwhelming for some considering it’s going to land roughly a month before the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct showcase and subsequent pre-orders for the next-generation console, but Nintendo clearly thinks its current-generation OLED console still has some fire left in it as the new Super Mario Bros. Wonder bundle is now up for sale at $349. 

We are ready to cap off the work week in Android app deals courtesy of the latest Google Play price drops. Just be sure to stop by the deals we are tracking right now on SanDisk’s new 2TB 2,000MB/s Creator Pro portable SSD as well as GameSir’s X3 Pro see-through mobile game controller, even lower pricing on Galaxy Tab S9 FE, and some sweet Galaxy Watch 7 deals – $60 off plus a FREE $70 band or from just $68 with an S25 purchase. As for the apps, highlights include some freebie icon packs as well as Lovecraft’s Untold Stories, 911 Operator, BE-A Walker, Breaking Gates, and more. Hit the jump for a closer look. 

Anker debuted a pair of new display-equipped chargers at CES this year (reviews on the way for those), but neither of them offered up the versatility I was after in the way its latest Prime Power Bank does. It is also a more compact solution, providing both entirely portable power bank functionality while also doubling as a wall charger – this is exactly what I needed for my EDC, so let’s find out what this thing is like in hand and what it’s like to actually use. 

Amazon is now offering Twelve South Butterfly SE 2-in-1 15W MagSafe Travel Charger down at $79.99 shipped. Regularly $100, this is a straight up 20% price drop and the lowest we can find – it is still up at the full $100 via the online Apple Store of course. After debuting last summer as a more affordable alternative to the standard model with more or less the same specs (2-in-1, 15W charging, and so on), you’re looking at the second-best price to date, having only ever dropped any lower to $70 at Amazon during a Black Friday sale event. 

Friday morning’s roundup of the best App Store price drops are now up for grabs down below. On your way down, be sure to scope out the deals we have today on Apple Watch Series 10 – just about all configurations are back at Black Friday pricing from $329 – alongside a $210 price drop on the 16GB M4 MacBook Pro with a 1TB SSD and, while iPhone 16e pre-orders are now live, you you can now score this unlocked MagSafe iPhone 15 for $100 less ($299 off). As for the apps, highlights include titles like Streets of Rage 4, Dungeon and Puzzles, Retro City Rampage DX, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

The new CASETiFY iPhone 16e cases have surfaced. CASETiFY is one of the more popular smartphone case brands out there, and one that has been so for more than a few years now. Its success is largely hinged on delivering higher quality covers, attractive branding, offering up collections for just about every major smartphone release, and, perhaps even most of all, its massive selection of designs you can choose from. The iPhone 16e models have arrived and they are now available purchase starting from $70 on the eve of pre-orders going live for the new, more affordable iPhone release. 

Thursday afternoon’s collection of the best Android game and app deals are now ready to roll down below. Joining today’s Google Play offers, we also have deals on Samsung’s M8 Smart Monitor at $300 off, a new Amazon low on Chipolo’s wallet card Google Find My Device tracker, and some particularly notable discounts on Galaxy Watch Ultra – it is now $230 off with all color and band options at the ready. As for the apps, highlights include titles like SpongeBob – The Cosmic Shake, Human Fall Flat, Bagatur Chess Engine, Star Survivor, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

Earlier this year Nintendo officially teased an upcoming collaboration with LEGO – an upcoming, brick-built Game Boy set. It will likely be the biggest Nintendo hardware release of the year outside of the Switch 2. At the time of the official reveal, there weren’t many details to go on outside of a teaser video and that it was indeed on the way this year, but a supposedly reliable leaker might have just outed some details on the new LEGO Game Boy along with the price.
