Deals: AirPods 5 $125, M5 MacBook Air $150 off, Apple Watch Series 12, 25W MagSafe car mount, more
Amazon is now offering the lowest price anywhere on the new AirPods 5 with ANC pre-orders down at $125, just after launching its early fall Prime Day deals (details here). Those offers join the ongoing AirPods Pro 3 deal at $50 off and AirTag 2 at $20 each, but today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by a pair of M5 MacBook Air configs at $150 off via Amazon. We also have the first cash discounts on most affordable Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 with the new Translucent Ocean Band, joined by this discount on Anker’s iPhone 18 Pro-ready Prime Qi2 25W MagSafe Wireless Car Charger Mount. All of that and more awaits below.
Yesterday we spotted a few Midnight M5 MacBook Air configs on sale and today Amazon is offering all four colors of the mid-tier 13-inch model at $150 off the list price.
Amazon is now offering the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage down at $1,449 shipped.
As of the time writing, all four colors are down at this price: Silver, Midnight, Starlight, and Sky Blue. This is actually the first time we have seen all four paint jobs in this mid-range configuration down this low over the last few months.
You’re looking at a regularly $1,599 machine with a solid $150 price drop. Today’s deal is matching the lowest price we have tracked on this configuration since the price increases in late June.
While the list prices on the M5 MacBook Air lineup have gone up, we are still talking about the best bang for you buck when it comes to Apple laptops in my opinion. And this is a solid mid-range option that comes in well below the $1,650 deal price on the most affordable 24GB machine Amazon sells (this one is $150 off in select colors right now though).
You will find some lighter deals on the 15-inch models right now, but these two 13-inchers are delivering the best value right now:
We are tracking a couple notable $150 price drops on mid-tier M5 MacBook Air configurations at Amazon in brand new condition this week. However, the official Apple refurb store just re-stocked the most affordable model down at $1,099 in Midnight, Starlight, and Sky Blue if you’re quick.
The most affordable 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage sitting down at $1,099 shipped. We suspect, as per usual with this model coming straight from, Apple colors will begin to sell out quick: Midnight, Starlight, and Sky Blue.
And because it is coming straight from Apple, we are talking about the best refurbishment process there is with a proper warranty too:
