Deals: AirPods 5 from $64 w/ trade, AirPods Pro 3, Studio Display XDR $330 off, Ceramic Apple Watch, more
Alongside the ongoing AirPods Pro 3 deal, pre-orders are flying on the new AirPods 5, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and Apple Watch Series 12 with some early discounts. We just detailed how to score the new AirPods 5 from just $64 at up to 50% off (right here) and Amazon just delivered the first pre-order discount on the luxurious new Ceramic Apple Watch Series 12. We also have a sizable discount on this Studio Display XDR model at $330 off, the return of all-time low pricing on AirTag from $20 each, and a solid $50 off Sharge’s impressive metal 300W smart display power bank. Check it all out below.
Apple has now unleashed its new AirPods 5 with pre-orders now live on the base set at $129 and the higher-end Wireless Charging Case model at $149. Thing is, you can score the flagship AirPods Pro 3 for just $50 more than that right now with the ongoing Amazon deal.
Here’s how pricing works out across the lineup now:
Alongside the ongoing $50 price drop on Apple’s flagship AirPods Pro 3, pre-orders are now live on the brand new AirPods 5 and higher-end AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case. Thus far we are yet to see any notable cash discounts, and Apple does not appear to be offering any trade-in options for the series 5 AirPods, but Best Buy is and you can knock up to 50% off when you flip your AirPods 4 for the new set.
Here’s how pricing shakes out as of right now across the current-generation AirPods:
As you can see, the new AirPods 5 start at $129, this time with Active Noise Cancellation tech included, but if you want the on-stem touch controls and a wireless charging case you’ll need to drop $149. That is, however, only $50 less than the deal pricing on the higher-end AirPods Pro 3 right now – $50 is not insignificant, but it is very much something to keep in mind.
That said, if you are looking to score the AirPods 5, you can bring the price down by trading in your AirPods 4 for the new set at Best Buy:
Best Buy will give you $50 for the base AirPods 4 and $65 back for the AirPods 4 with ANC. That brings the base AirPods 5 (that include ANC this year) down to as low as $64 and the AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case down to as low as $84. These are the best prices/deals we have tracked for the new Apple buds yet.
Pre-orders for the new AirPods 5 are now live from $129, and Amazon is already starting to undercut everyone on the Series 12. While we aren’t talking about massive deals here, Amazon is now offering select Series 12 models for less than everyone else.
As you can see with this 42mm Series 12 GPS + Cell configuration, Amazon has it listed down at $489.99 shipped.
