Deals: M5 Pro MacBook, AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Ultra 3, more

Amazon is still offering one of the best prices ever on AirPods Pro 3 down at nearly 25% offthe list price, and likely not for much longer. But today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by some big-time offers on the official Apple refurb store with some M5 Pro MacBook Pro at between $450 and $540 under the new list prices. Those offers also join this 24GB M5 MacBook Air at $150 off via Amazon and some official refurb units as low as $1,099. We also have Apple Watch Ultra 3 Ocean Band configs at nearly $100 off via Amazon as well as Anker’s white model 25W 3-in-1 Foldable MagSafe Charger now back at the Amazon all-time low (nearly 35% off) and the ongoing 2026 Best Buy Back to School sale loaded with thousands of price drops on a giant list of product categories. Details await below. 

Latest AirPods Pro 3 still sitting down at one of the best prices on Amazon…for now (Nearly 25% off)

Not only are the latest AirPods Max 2 still at $100 off in all five colors, but Amazon is somehow still offering a rock solid 24% off the latest AirPods Pro 3. After offering them down at $200 for Black Friday in July, Amazon actually dropped the price even lower and this deal is still live as of the time of writing. 

Amazon is offering Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 down at $189.99 shipped right now. 

Regularly $249, this is just south of 25% off the list price and one of the best deals we have tracked to date. 

After just about every other retailer raised the price back up closer to MSRP earlier this week, we assumed Amazon was likely to follow suit and, if history is any indication, it still is. It is really only a matter of time before your window to land a fresh set, or finally upgrade, closes at the notable discount price, so it might be worth considering before it jumps back up. 

Needless to say for anyone who follows Apple’s yearly release schedule, the new AirPods are expected to land in roughly one month’s time. And while they are, presumably, not directly affected by the global memory and storage shortage right now, rumor has it Apple could be adding some kind of camera tech to the experience and that sounds like we could be in for a price increase. 

Apple has raised the price on existing SKUs already and this move might very well make its way to the next-gen September launch. We are very much hoping this is not the case for AirPods, but it’s hard to say at this point. The AirPods Pro 3 will, nonetheless, remain one of the world’s best in-ear listening experiences well into next year anyway though, and the price is particularly compelling right now even with the new models potentially on the horizon. 

Apple’s official refurb store has M5 Pro MacBook Pro models up to $540 off right now

The official Apple refurb store is delivering some notable price hike relief with current-generation MacBook models starting as low as $599 right now, and we just highlighted a series of notable offers on the M5 MacBook Air lineup. However, we also wanted to take a look at some M5 Pro MacBook Pro offers you can land at between $450 and $540 under the new list prices. 

Here are a few of the highlight M5 Pro configurations we are tracking with notably lower prices than you’ll find at retail in brand new condition right now:

That 16-inch model at $2,549 is now $450 under the new retail price in brand new condition and is currently starting at $2,760 over on Amazon where it has yet to sell for any less since the price increase took hold. 

It is also very much worth noting that, unlike some of the deals you’ll find floating around the internet right now, this is not one of those offers that just brings it back to the old MSRP. While we have seen this machine set for less in the last it is currently $150 less than the old list price courtesy of this Apple Certified Refurbished storefront. 

As a quick refresher, all gear on the Apple refurb store includes a proper 1-year Apple warranty, ships covered under Apple’s 14-day return policy, and tends to sell out quicker than anyone would ever want.

Amazon has this 24GB M5 MacBook Air at $150 off today, or as low as $1,099 via Apple refurb store

While we are still tracking some notable M5 MacBook Air deals on the official Apple refurb store at up to $300 off, those looking towards a brand new condition unit will find this one 24GB 13-inch model sitting down at $150 off via Amazon today. 

Amazon is now offering the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and the 1TB storage capacity at $1,649 shipped. 

Regularly $1,799, you’re looking at a straight up $150 price drop here and the best deal we can find on a new condition M5 MacBook Air with these specs right now – the rest of the lineup is maxing out at roughly $100 off right now on Amazon. 

Stock can come and go very fast over at the official Apple refurb store, but there are some notable offers live right now if you get in there while you can – these are just a few of the highlights right now, but you can head over to this page, hit the MacBook Air filter on the left side, and browse through the current options:

Apple Watch Ultra 3 Ocean Band configs now nearly $100 off at Amazon

Alongside the ongoing AirPods Pro 3 deal at close to 25% off the list price, this morning Amazon is bringing back the nearly $100 price drops on the one-size-fits-just about anyone Apple Watch Ultra 3 Ocean Band configurations. 

Amazon is now offering the Black Titanium and Natural Titanium Apple Watch Ultra 3 configurations with the matching Black Ocean Band and the Anchor Blue variant down at $699.99 shipped. 

You’re looking at regularly $700 configurations at $99 off the list price for the lowest we can find. It appears as though stock on the black model is already running thin. 

We did see the Natural model with the Blue Trail Loop down at $129 off a couple times over the last week or so, but today’s feature offers are on par with the lowest we have tracked over the Black Friday in July and early August offers on these Ocean Band configs. 

Best Buy also had some deals on these models as part of its recent Apple Shopping Event, but they maxed out at $49 off, and are currently being offering at $750 as of today. 

These deals also join a collection of the most affordable Apple Watch Series 11 models at $100 off with deals starting down at $299 for those not interested in the higher-end Ultra 3:

Satechi launches more powerful 240W display-equipped ChargeView desktop charger Anker’s white model 25W 3-in-1 Foldable MagSafe Charger now back at Amazon all-time low (Nearly 35% off)

This week is delivering some major deals on and return all-time lows on some of the latest Anker Prime charging gear and we wanted to highlight the nearly 35% price dropon its Radiant White model Prime 25W Qi2.2-Certified 3-in-1 Foldable MagSafe Charger. 

Amazon is now offering the Prime 25W Qi2.2-Certified 3-in-1 Foldable MagSafe Charger in Radiant White down at $99.97 shipped. Regularly $150, this is nearly 35% off and matching the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon. 

We are also tracking the Phantom Gray model down this low as well, but there haven’t been quite as many deals on Amazon for the white variant and we wanted to make sure it was on the radar. 

It is indeed the same as its darker counterpart, complete with a 25W industry max standard MagSafe charging pad for your phone, but once unfolded, a pop-out Apple Watch charger and a third Qi pad for an additional device (like your AirPods) are revealed. 

This model has quickly become my go-to option both at home and on the road. I think one thing that is certainly worth pointing out here is that, while it is very much suited for on-the-go action considering its foldable nature, this isn’t one of those flimsy ultra-lightweight travel chargers – it has some notable heft to it and it won’t slide all over the place every time you go to lift your phone off of it. 

Anker’s latest Prime Qi2 25W MagSafe Car Charger Mount now up to 25% off at Amazon Score Anker’s 45WNano Smart Display charger at its best price for Back to School (All colors) Best Buy updates 2026 Back to School sale: TVs under $500, Bose $130 off, Apple gear, Ninja kitchen, much more Today’s accessories and charging deals: Anker’s 2026 Back to School sale drops chargers, power banks, and Qi2.2 gear back to Prime Day lows from just $10 (46% off)

Anker is now running a Back to School sale across its lineup of accessories, with promo code SCHOOL20 taking 20% off sitewide on chargers, power banks, cables, charging stations, and more. The brand’s official Amazon storefront is matching many of those offers as well, while also serving up a few additional discounts of its own across popular models. There are deals on everything from compact Nano chargers and multi-port laptop bricks to MagSafe charging gear, power banks, and other everyday accessories. Many of the Amazon offers are bringing prices back down to the same all-time lows we tracked during the recent Prime Day sale, giving you another shot at those best-ever prices without having to wait for the next major shopping event. If you’re putting together a new school or work setup, or simply need to refresh your charging gear, there are plenty of solid Anker deals worth checking out right now.

Anker’s 2026 Back to School sale is now live

The brand’s official Amazon storefront has added a handful of new deals to the mix, and we’ve highlighted those below along with some of the existing offers for you to check out.

One of the standout offers in the sale brings Anker’s latest 45W Nano USB-C charger with a Smart Display back down to $25.99 shipped. Regularly $40, today’s deal takes $16 off and matches the all-time low we saw during the recent Prime Day sale. That’s 35% off, beating the offer we’re tracking directly at Anker. This is one of Anker’s newer compact chargers, and all available finishes are currently sitting at the same $25.99 low. Its built-in Smart Display can recognize supported iPhone models, optimize charging for safer power delivery, and show useful charging details alongside a few quirky animations. You also get up to 45W output through its single USB-C port, while the foldable prongs keep the whole thing compact enough for travel, a tech bag, or everyday carry.

Most affordable Apple Watch Series 11 models back in stock at $100 off via Amazon

Alongside Amazon’s extended and particularly notable25% price drop on AirPods Pro 3, we are also now tracking the return of select colors on the most affordable Apple Watch Series 11 models at $100 off. 

Amazon is continuing its $100 price drops on the base GPS-only Series 11 models through this week, but after select case color options started to dwindle it appears to have found some additional units. 

These are indeed the same deals we were tracking last week, landing within $20 of the Amazon all-time low and on par with just about every price drop we have tracked outside of this year’s June Prime Day sale. 

While the 42mm Space Gray and the 46mm Rose Gold options are sold out at the time of writing, the rest of the base case color options are alive and well with the $100 discount. 

Apple is expected to launch the new Series 12 next month, and we might very well see solid discounts on those closer to the 2026 holiday season, but there’s no telling what the starting MSRPs might look like this year either. Apple just recently bumped the price on its MacBook and iPad lineups, and there’s a good chance we might see price hikes hit the rest of the new releases this year too – basically anything that needs RAM and storage. 

All AirPods Max 2 colorways back at $100 off for this week’s 4-day Apple sale

While Amazon has now dropped the price on AirPods Pro 3 even lower as part of the end of week Apple sales running right now, the $100 discount on Apple’s latest AirPods Max 2 is alive and well. 

Amazon is now offering all five colors of Apple’s 2026 AirPods Max 2 over-ear headphones down at $449 shipped. 

Regularly $549, this is $100 off the list price and the best price we can find. 

This weekend’s deal is a carry over from the Black Friday and July sale. While select colors did recently jump back up in price for a short time, they are all now back at $100 off the list. 

The only time we have seen Apple’s all-new, next-generation AirPods Max 2 sell for less than we are here today was during the late June Prime Day sale – you’re otherwise looking at the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon since release earlier this year. 

This discount joins price drops across the latest AirPods lineup as well as a host of this week’s best Apple gear deals, the highlights of which you’ll find below:

Official Apple refurb store has the lowest prices on MacBook Neo, up to $120 off list price

Alongside the MacBook Air and M5 series MacBook Pro, Apple’s much more affordable new MacBook Neo also saw a price hike recently, but you can side step that by way of the official Apple Certified Refurbished Store – MacBook Neo starts at $689 at Amazon, but you can score one from the best Apple refurbished store there is with a full Apple warranty from $599. 

The official Apple Certified Refurbished Store carries all of the MacBook Neo configurations at the lowest prices we can find from a source even half as reputable, and, again, with a proper Apple warranty as well as Apple’s “rigorous” refurbishment seal of approval. 

While it does not look like there are special offers on these machines when you pull up the listing pages on the Apple refurb store, they are all at least $100 under the new MSRP – the 512GB model with the Touch ID keyboard is actually $120 off the new list price and $20 under the previous list price. 

Yes, they are refurb units and, yes, they are really just bringing the price back down, or very close, to the old MSRPs, but we are also talking about the lowest prices on the most affordable current-generation MacBook here.  

For some, the $100 to $120 in savings isn’t worth going for a refurbished unit, and understandably so, but this is certainly not an insignificant amount of cash and we are talking about the best quality refurbished you can buy straight from Apple. 

All of this machines ship with:
