Retailers Push M4 and M5 MacBooks and iPads to Record Low Prices

Memorial Day discounting combined with Apple’s recent change to higher base storage has created short‑term clearance pressure that is producing all‑time lows on select M5 and M4 models.

Overview

  • Amazon this week cut $150 from every 15‑inch M5 MacBook Air, with the 16GB/512GB model starting at $1,149 and other configurations reduced across most colors.
  • Major iPad discounts returned on Amazon and Best Buy, including the 13‑inch M4 iPad Air 256GB at about $789.99, the 11‑inch M4 128GB at $520, and the A16 11‑inch iPad 128GB for $299.
  • Memorial Day sales have also pushed MacBook Pro prices down, with 14‑inch M5 Pro/M5 models as low as $1,499 for 16GB/1TB builds and 16‑inch M5 Pro configurations starting around $2,449 after discounts.
  • Other sellers are using bundles and selective cuts to deepen savings, for example B&H’s 14‑inch M5 Pro with 48GB/1TB for $2,299 and steep clearance on prior‑gen M3 iPad Air units down to roughly $849 for 1TB cellular models.
  • Shoppers should move quickly because the best prices depend on specific RAM, storage, color and seller, reflect retailers’ response to Apple’s SKU changes, and are likely to be short‑lived as inventory and coupons shift.
