Deals: AirPods, Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 up to $325 off, M5 MacBook Air $200 off, more
Alongside the ongoing pre-order deals on the new M6 Mac mini, today we are highlighting pre-orders on the new AirPods 5 (just keep in mind you can still land AirPods Pro 3 for just $50 more). The new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 are also now up for grabs (here’s some deals on how to land them at up to $325 off) and, if you’re quick, the most affordable M5 MacBook Air live at $1,099 via Apple refurb ($200 off new list). Head below for more.
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:
Apple has indeed injected active noise cancelation features in both of the new base model AirPods 5 releases. You will, however, need to bump up to the more pricey set to score the wireless charging case and the on-stem volume controls found on the AirPods Pro 3.
You will also won’t find the proper sealed fit with Apple’s best sound isolation experience on the new AirPods 5 – that’s what the AirPods Pro lineup is for.
And while it is particularly impressive to see Apple launch a set of new AirPods at just $129 with noise cancellation features – last year’s base set didn’t have it, you’re going to really want to save $50 to side step the flagship Pro 3 for the new AirPods 5 right now.
The AirPods Pro 3 feature longer battery life, up to 3x more active noise cancellation than AirPods 5, heart rate sensing, and more.
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.
Yes that, is only $9 off, but if you are going to be pre-ordering this week ahead of the September 18 delivery date, you might as well keep some coffee money in your pocket.
