Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is ready to usher in the end of the work week with ongoing and now even lower price on AirPods Pro 3 at 25% off, but we are also tracking the return of all AirPods Max 2 colors at $100 off. Those deals join Apple Watch Series 11 models up to $172 off, some rare discounts on official Apple Nike Watch bands, a FREE $25 Best Buy credit with MacBook Neo (or up to $120 off via the official Apple refurb store), and the ongoing $500 price drop on this M5 Pro MacBook Pro ($100 under the original MSRP). This week’s Anker charging gear deals from $9 are right here, and be sure to check out LG’s UltraFine 6K Thunderbolt 5 monitor while it’s $2,200 less than an Apple Studio Display XDR. Everything awaits below.
The most affordable M5 MacBook Pro there is just hit the Apple Refurb Store down at $1,439 folks – this is easily among the lowest prices we have tracked for an M5 machine in a long while now.
The official Apple refurb store is now offering the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,439 shipped.
This offer might not last for very long folks.
The unicorn M5 MacBook Pro configuration was dropped from the official lineup after Apple bumps the base storage tier to 1TB with the debut of the 2026 M5 Pro/M5 Max machines. That means you’re looking at the most affordable M5 MacBook Pro there is, and one that can be very hard to get with a deal these days.
Amazon is still offering the base model Apple Watch Series 11 at $100 off the list price starting from $299. And while Best Buy has launched a weekend Apple sale, we wanted to highlight Amazon’s special deal pricing on this Series 11 Cell model that is now at all-time low pricing and undercutting Best Buy – it is $172 off.
Amazon is now offering the 42mm Apple Watch Seres 11 GPS + Cell with the Space Gray case down at $327 shipped.
This is a regularly $499 configuration seeing a sizable $172 price drop to deliver the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon for this model.
Again you will find all of the 42mm and 46mm Cell models on sale at Best Buy, but they are starting down at $399 – many of the 46mm configs are sold out at Amazon right now.
If you, however, are not interested in the always connected Cell setup, you will find the base Series 11 models for even less right now with both case sizes at $100 off the list prices.
And those interested in Apple Watch Ultra 3 deals will want to head to Amazon as prices on select models are much lower there than at Best Buy right now:
Alongside the now even lower price on AirPods Pro 3 and a series of notable deals on Apple Watch, this week’s 4-day Apple Shopping Event is also ushering in some rare discounts on official Apple and Nike Sport Loops and Bands at 20% off.
You will find some of the deals live at Amazon, but the Nike options are over at Best Buy where you’ll find 20% off (seen in the image above):
The options here are quickly selling out so you’ll want to get in there as soon as possible, and be sure to scope out the rare 20% price drop on the latest black Apple Sport Loop we spotted over at Amazon this morning too.
Price hike or otherwise, deals on MacBook Neo have been all but non-existent. And while the price of the machine has gone up, it remains the most affordable current-generation MacBook you can buy and there are ways to save right now – Best Buy is offering a FREE $25 gift card with brand new units as part of its latest Apple Shopping Event and you can score them at up to $120 off via the Apple Certified Refurbished Store.
Best Buy launched a wide-ranging 4-day Apple Shopping Event yesterday, and while select gear is lower at Amazon, it does have the best deal going on brand new MacBook Neo models right now:
However, the price right now is being served up over at the official Apple Certified Refurbished Store. The price on these machine did just go up, but if you’re looking to score one at the lowest price around, this is the place to be:
The 256GB model is clearly just dropping back down to the former MSRP and the 512GB is now $20 less than the old list price, but it is what it is and the price hikes aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
More of this week’s best Apple deals, including one of the best prices to date on AirPods Pro 3 can be found below:
While a lot of the deals floating around on MacBook Pro right now are really just bringing the machines back to pre-price hike MSRPs, if that. The official Apple Certified Refurbished Store is offering up some solid price relief, but this banger ongoing price drop on the M5 Pro MacBook Pro 2TB model at Amazon is $500 off the new MSRP and $100 under the previous, much lower list price.
Amazon is currently offering the 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 2TB internal storage at $2,499 shipped still.
That’s certainly not cheap, but it is $500 off the new list price, and all things considered, most notably $100 under the MSRP before Apple jacked the price up.
Another interesting comparison is to the official Apple refurb store, it is charging $50 more than Amazon for this same machine in refurbished condition.
Nobody likes price hikes, and this deal is a little bitter sweet for sure, but it is what it is, and this is a seriously deep discount that is lower than the original MSRP nonetheless.
The official Apple Certified Refurbished Store is however serving up some notable deals on far less pricey machines right now, including the lowest prices around from a reputable source on MacBook Neo, and more:
While Amazon has now dropped the price on AirPods Pro 3 even lower as part of the end of week Apple sales running right now, the $100 discount on Apple’s latest AirPods Max 2 is alive and well.
Amazon is now offering all five colors of Apple’s 2026 AirPods Max 2 over-ear headphones down at $449 shipped.
Regularly $549, this is $100 off the list price and the best price we can find.
