Last week’s special deal price on AirPods Pro 3 at nearly 25% off is still live, and perhaps not for much longer, and we also spotted the Matte Black Beats Solo Buds down as low as $41. But today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by the official Apple refurb store offering the most affordable M5 MacBook Pro at $300 off alongside new condition Apple Watch Series 11 models at $100 off and some rare discounts on Apple Sport Bands and Loops. From there we move over to return all-time low pricing on Anker’s latest 3-in-1 Qi2 25W foldable MagSafe Charging Station and 45W Nano Smart Display charger, joined by Best Buy’s updated Back to School sale. Scope it all out below.
Amazon’s nearly 25% price drop on AirPods Pro 3 still live, could jump back up any minute
Last week’s Apple Shopping Event delivered one of the best deals to date on AirPods Pro 3. That sale, and the Pro 3 discount that came along with it is now over at Best Buy where it has instead updated its 2026 Black to School sale, but Amazon’s nearly 25% price drop on AirPods Pro 3 is still live…for now.
Amazon is still offering Apple’s latest AirPods Pro 3 down at $189.99 shipped.
Regularly $249, this is just shy of 25% off the list price, roughly $10 under the Black Friday in July deal, and among the lowest prices we have have tracked since release.
Best Buy’s price has now jumped back up to $200 as of early this morning. This, as of late, has been a good indication of how pricing will go on Amazon and that means the extra savings you’ll find there might very well jump up at any minute – if you are still looking to land a set this week, now’s the time to pounce on the deal price. It would not be uncommon, or even a little bit surprising, to see Amazon bring the price up to match Best Buy at some point this morning.
The only times we have seen them sell for any less than we have right now were a pair of extremely fleeting discounts – one back in February at $184 and the more recent June Prime Day sale. Both of those deals are long gone now, and there’s a good chance we won’t see anything better than we have right now until the fall sale season, and after Apple potentially releases a next-generation set next month that might very well come along with cameras and a higher MSRP.
Official Apple refurb store offering most affordable M5 MacBook Pro at $300 off
While we are still tracking a sizable $500 price drop on this 2TB M5 Pro MacBook Pro, deals on the most affordable end of the M5 lineup have been much harder to come by. Apple’s official refurb store however, is serving up a compelling offer on the most affordable M5 MacBook Pro it still sells with the 16GB/1TB configuration at $300 off the list price.
The official Apple Certified Refurbished Store is offering the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and the 1TB SSD down at $1,699 shipped.
