Overview
- Deal reports this week show major U.S. retailers and marketplaces are selling current M5 Macs and M5 iPads below Apple’s new list prices, with many promotions posted between July 6 and July 8.
- Amazon is featuring several deep cuts, including a 14‑inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/2TB for $2,549.99—about $449 under Apple’s new MSRP—and a 512GB MacBook Neo at $689.99 in one color option.
- B&H is running clearance prices on last‑gen M4 Pro 14‑inch MacBook Pro units with models marked as low as $1,799 for specific configurations and limited finishes.
- Indian retailer Vijay Sales is offering up to Rs 20,000 off a 13‑inch MacBook Air M5 configuration and eligible ICICI or Axis Bank cardholders can bring the effective price to Rs 1,29,990.
- Most savings are tied to specific colors, RAM/SSD setups, or bank offers, inventory is constrained, and analysts expect these temporary promotions to fade once older stock and promotional allocations sell out.
