Amazon’s weekend sale extends Prime Day discounts on Apple gear, with up to $650 off Macs (including 16-inch MacBook Pro M5 Max), up to $350 off iPads, AirPods Pro 3 at $179, AirTag discounts, and notable Apple Watch deals like Ultra 3, plus Pencil markdowns, as post‑Prime Day prices linger.
Amazon is reportedly moving to raise prices on many Apple products, with notable increases across MacBook models (including the Neo) and iPads.

Bloomberg reports two high-end Macs launching this fall: a touchscreen MacBook Ultra with OLED, a new design, and M5 Pro/Max chips, plus a refreshed MacBook Pro with an M6 chip; Apple is also reportedly skipping M6 Pro/Max in favor of moving quickly to an M7 lineup.
Mashable’s Prime Day Apple deals roundup notes big discounts across AirPods Max 2, Apple Watch Series 11, iPad models, and MacBook Air, despite Apple’s RAM-related price hikes that left MacBooks and iPads at least $100 higher; with stock fluctuating and deals ending tonight, the guide continues live updates across Amazon and other retailers.
Prime Day laptop deals offer up to $850 off across MacBooks, Windows laptops, and gaming laptops. Highlights include the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB) for $1,149 (save $350) and the Acer Aspire 14 AI for $479.99 (save $400); a gaming option like the Acer Nitro V 16S AI for $1,099.99 (save $300).

Apple shares fell about 6% after the company raised prices on several MacBook and iPad models to offset soaring memory and storage costs driven by a global memory shortage. Entry-level MacBook Neo rose from $599 to $699, MacBook Air from $1,099 to $1,299, MacBook Pro 14” from $1,699 to $1,999 and 16” from $2,699 to $2,999; iPad Air moved from $599 to $749, and iPad Pro 11” and 13” both increased (to $1,199 and $1,499, respectively). CEO Tim Cook called price increases “unavoidable” amid margin pressure, and analysts warn higher costs could dampen demand as the memory shortage could last for years. The move mirrors broader industry price bumps as chip costs rise.
Apple’s price hikes on Macs and iPads make current Prime Day discounts across MacBook Neo, Air, and Pro models much more compelling (Neo 256GB at $589.99; 13‑inch Air M5 at $949, vs higher MSRPs), and with retailers still showing old prices for now, shoppers should act quickly before prices reset.
