Overview
- Multiple U.S. retailers and Apple’s refurbished store are running time‑limited discounts on Apple hardware, covering new, open‑box and refurbished inventory.
- High‑end M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models saw the steepest cuts, including one‑day B&H offers that reduced a 16‑inch M5 Pro 48GB/1TB to $3,099 and B&H and others listing up to about $600 off some M5 Max configurations.
- Amazon and other sellers discounted current M5 machines as well, with examples including a 14‑inch M5 Pro (24GB/1TB) at $2,299 and Amazon posting roughly $200 off some M5 Pro 14‑inch models.
- Apple Certified Refurbished was restocked with a 15‑inch M5 MacBook Air (24GB/1TB) at $1,699, and deal sites highlighted deeply discounted older refurbished MacBooks and iPads for under $200 in limited supply.
- The concentrated sales ran on Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 17–18, and offer short windows of lower prices that contrast with Apple’s earlier summer price increases, so buyers should check model specs, warranty terms and stock before buying.
