Get the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max for $650 less than the 17 Pro Max ($320 less at Apple’s retail store)

Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have been in the wild for a while now, but if you want to get a high-end unlocked iPhone in the early part of 2026 the latest models will cost you. The 1TB iPhone 17 Pro Max, for example, carries a list price of $1,599 and the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max sells for $1,269 at the official Apple Store, but Amazon will sell you the 1TB 16 Pro Max $949 shipped right now – that’s $650 off the original list price.

Amazon is now offering Refurbished Premium units of the iPhone 16 Pro Max with 1TB storage capacity down $949 shipped right now. Originally $1,599 at launch, which is the same price the 1TB 17 Pro Max carries, you’re looking at $650 off the starting price.

As mentioned above Apple is also selling the 1TB 16 Pro Max models in its official refurbished online store. This could be the first and best place to find a deal on an unlocked iPhone 16 series, but you’ll pay more than on Amazon right now — more than $320 more.

Now obviously, going directly to Apple should be the most reliable source here, and it probably is, but the Amazon Premium Renewed units have proven to be the next best thing if you ask me and at a much lower price. They also ship with a 365-day refund/return option:

This item can be returned in its original condition for a full refund or exchange within 365 days of receipt.

All colors of AirPods Max (USB-C) are $100 off at Amazon today

Amazon is once again offering all five colors of the latest Apple AirPods Max with USB-C $100 off list price. We’ve been seeing this deal come and go over the past few weeks, but prices seem to have stabilized with all options now sitting below $100. Details below.

Amazon is now offering AirPods Max (USB-C) for less $449 shipped. Normally $549, this deal is up to $100 when deals last on all five models: Midnight, Blue, Orange, Starlight, and Purple.

We’ve seen a few opportunities to get Apple’s (only) over-ear headphones for $170 discounted this year, but they’ve been limited-time offerings mostly in select colors. In case you missed the holiday and Black Friday deals last year, today’s deal is a great option for people looking to get a set early in the year.

You’re looking at the latest model of AirPods Max Apple has updated with a USB-C charging port from the old Lightning standard next to five new paint jobs. For some, they are too expensive, and understandably so, but even as someone who can seriously appreciate the direct competition of brands like Sony and Bose, they remain one of the highest quality and well-made headphones in the price segment when they are sold like this, if you ask me.

Here’s a chance to get a 24GB M4 Pro MacBook Pro for $440 off list price

Apple’s new M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models are all around now, and Apple which has just been announced spring will begin next week. But for those not looking to spend a fortune on a new M5 Pro device, Apple’s current generation M4 Pro is an incredibly powerful device, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future if you ask me – Best Buy is giving people a chance sit one on $440 discount list price right now again.

But at Best Buy, you’ll find “open box units” in excellent condition sitting down $2,058.99 shipped. That’s $440 below the list price from Apple, $260 below the sale price on Amazon in new condition, and the best we can find for one in this condition with Apple’s one-year warranty.

There’s always a $2,499 M4 Pro MacBook Pro with a 16-inch display, 24GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD currently on sale for $2,319. Amazon currently in brand new condition. For the record, B&H is charging the same amount in this setting for now.

These Apple Watch Series 11 models are still at the best prices, with deals starting at $299

While we’re still tracking down a chance to score a 46mm Jet Black Apple Watch Series 11 for the lowest price ($100 off), we also wanted to highlight a chance you still have to score a 42mm Rose Gold Apple Watch Series 11 $299 shipped.

Normally $399, this is one of the lowest prices we’ve tracked since it was released in September. Apple’s latest and greatest series wears a muted, matte rose gold treatment that’s sitting on the floor for now $299 shipped on Amazon, brings $100 in savings and a great chance to get one at the top of the year.

This deal, as mentioned above, also joins the ongoing price drop for the 46mm Jet Black variant $329 shippedwhich is $100 off the list price and matches the lowest it has been offered since its release.

These two configurations are still the only options we can find online in brand new condition from a reputable seller for the latest Series 11 wearables for $100 off. These deals reduce official Black Friday 2025 prices and are in line with the deals we revealed before Christmas last year.

At this point we are amazed that they are actually still alive at all. Chances are both of these deals will be gone any time now and if you want to snag the latest 11 series at a discount, it may be some time before we see $100 off the rest of the system again.

Big price drop 57% off ZAGG’s Pro Keys 2 for M4/M5 iPad Pro for $65 (Reg. $150)

It is back to our people. The big price drop on ZAGG Pro Keys 2 for your M4 or M5 iPad Pro is back, with a bang. 57% discount the price you will drop $65 shipped – hundreds under the Apple Magic keyboard.

Amazon is now offering ZAGG Pro Keys 2 for the 13-inch M5/M4 iPad Pro models at a discount $64.99 shipped.

This model carries a list price of $150, which is in and around the normal price range for these types of iPad Pro keyboards from trusted and popular Apple accessory brands. It also happens to be a lot less than the usual $349 list price that the official Magic Keyboard carries.

Today’s deal is the lowest price we’ve tracked for this keyboard case from ZAGG — it dropped to this price back at the top of the month for a while before going back to full inventory.

It’s not quite the Magic Keyboard, but it’s also $284 less and delivers some remarkable specs and features for a price like this. Alongside a polycarbonate case with a corner bumper and “6.6-meter drop protection,” it sports a magnetic folio design to provide a pair of “viewing angles for typing, browsing, or streaming.”

It features what ZAGG refers to as a “laptop-style” keyboard that includes seven-color backlighting and an integrated holder that “keeps your Apple Pencil or Pro Stylus secure.” 1 year of battery life and expected sleep/wake function also includes pairing with multiple Bluetooth devices here.

Today’s services and charging deals:

Official Apple Crossbody Strap colors drop even lower to new at Amazon starting at $24 (Up to 60% off)

This week brings new all-time low prices on the official Apple Crossbody Strap at Amazon. Earlier this week we saw a Light Gray model drop $24 Prime shipped and today we saw a bunch of other colors at the lowest prices offered since the release last September.

While the aforementioned Light Gray has been overpriced for a touch, it’s still within about $0.50 of the best price it’s offered. $23.99 with free shipping for Prime members or on orders over $35.

That said, there are others, including Neon Yellow, Orange, Purple, and Tan, that hit the lowest prices we’ve tracked anywhere:

There are many options like this from other brands, but since the prices are much lower for Apple models, anyone looking for first-party treatment will be seeing very competitive prices here (at least by Apple’s standards). You’re looking at about 60% off the regular list price of $59 on the new Apple Crossbody solution.
