GoKawiilAmazon prices M5 MacBook Air at $1,099, reversing Apple's June hike
Amazon is selling the 2026 MacBook Air with Apple's M5 chip at $1,099 for the 16GB/512GB model, $200 below Apple's current price. The 16GB/1TB and 24GB/1TB configurations are also discounted by $200, to $1,399 and $1,599 respectively. These prices match discounts seen during this week's Prime Day sale and remain live across all available colorways.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The discounts effectively cancel out Apple's own June price increase on the MacBook Air line, giving buyers a rare chance to get the latest M5 model at pre-hike pricing. Since Amazon has occasionally sustained post-Prime Day Apple discounts before, this could signal a longer-than-usual sale window, though Amazon has not stated how long the pricing will last.
- M5 MacBook Air now starts at $1,099 on Amazon, $200 off Apple's price.
- Higher storage and memory configurations also see matching $200 discounts.
- Pricing mirrors Prime Day deals and has not yet reverted to post-sale levels.
