What happened
Last week’s special deal price on AirPods Pro 3 at nearly 25% off is still live, and perhaps not for much longer, and we also spotted the Matte Black Beats Solo Buds down as low as $41 . But today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by the official Apple refurb store offering the most affordable M5 MacBook Pro at $300 off alongside new condition Apple Watch Series 11 models at $100 off and some rare discounts on Apple Sport Bands and Loops . From there we move over to return all-time low pricing on Anker’s latest 3-in-1 Qi2 25W foldable MagSafe Charging Station and 45W Nano Smart Display charger , joined by Best Buy’s updated Back to School sale . Scope it all out below.
Practical impact for readers
Last week’s Apple Shopping Event delivered one of the best deals to date on AirPods Pro 3 . That sale, and the Pro 3 discount that came along with it is now over at Best Buy where it has instead updated its 2026 Black to School sale , but Amazon’s nearly 25% price drop on AirPods Pro 3 is still live…for now. With devices, practical impact usually shows up in battery life, heat, stability, and long-term usability rather than in a few flashy headline numbers. The readers who should care most are the ones planning to replace a device, buy an accessory, or upgrade a work setup in the next few months.
Details worth verifying
Regularly $249, this is just shy of 25% off the list price, roughly $10 under the Black Friday in July deal, and among the lowest prices we have have tracked since release. The readers who should care most are the ones planning to replace a device, buy an accessory, or upgrade a work setup in the next few months. The next step is to see whether the current signals harden into a durable change or fade as a short-lived experiment.
Who should act or wait
Best Buy’s price has now jumped back up to $200 as of early this morning. This, as of late, has been a good indication of how pricing will go on Amazon and that means the extra savings you’ll find there might very well jump up at any minute – if you are still looking to land a set this week, now’s the time to pounce on the deal price. It would not be uncommon, or even a little bit surprising, to see Amazon bring the price up to match Best Buy at some point this morning.
What is still unclear
The only times we have seen them sell for any less than we have right now were a pair of extremely fleeting discounts – one back in February at $184 and the more recent June Prime Day sale. Both of those deals are long gone now, and there’s a good chance we won’t see anything better than we have right now until the fall sale season, and after Apple potentially releases a next-generation set next month that might very well come along with cameras and a higher MSRP.
