Overview
- Retailers including Amazon, B&H, Target and Walmart rolled limited summer promotions that widened on Wednesday, delivering notable markdowns on Apple audio gear and M5 MacBooks.
- AirPods Pro 3 have fallen to about $199–$200 at major stores while AirPods Max 2 dropped to roughly $449, with multiple outlets showing all color options on sale.
- Amazon is listing a 14‑inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro (24GB RAM, 2TB SSD) at $2,499 — $500 off the new list price and reported about $100 below the pre‑hike MSRP — while other M5 Pro and Air models show $100–$500 reductions.
- Sellers such as B&H are increasing deal value by bundling upgraded 70W or 96W Apple power adapters with discounted MacBooks, and availability varies by color and configuration so stock is volatile.
- Shoppers should act quickly because offers are time‑ and stock‑limited, verify exact configuration and warranty before buying, and expect prices to shift again before Apple’s usual fall hardware cycle.
