New Apple gear gets pre-release discounts, including AirPods 5 for $125 and more
Apple unveiled its new Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Apple Watch Series 12 lineup last week, plus the all-new AirPods 5. They hit shelves on Friday, September 18.
Ahead of that launch, Apple’s new lineup is now available to pre-order on Amazon — and you can already save.
First, Apple’s new AirPods 5 pack even more features at even lower prices. For example, both AirPods 5 models now offer Active Noise Cancellation, unlike the previous AirPods 4 generation. However, there are some differences — the lower-end model doesn’t have on-stem volume controls or a wireless charging case. You’ll also get about an extra hour of battery life on the higher-end model.
We’ve used AirPods 5 for a few days now and have been seriously impressed with the improvement in ANC. More thoughts on that soon.
Meanwhile, the new Apple Watch Series 4 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 pack some major improvements to health tracking. Apple calls this an all-new Health Sensing System, unlocking higher-frequency heart rate and HRV sensing that helps power a new readiness score feature. It also adds new Audio Intelligence features, including Live Rewind and Siri Recap.
Finally, there are a few new Apple Watch bands available on Amazon as well.
