AirPods Pro 3 just dropped back to Amazon’s holiday prices

Amazon just dropped Apple’s latest AirPods Pro 3 $199 shipped. Since we’re dropping an additional $20 off the aforementioned, now’s your chance to get them at the 2025 Black Friday/holiday price as well.

Amazon is now offering AirPods Pro 3 at $199 shipped. Normally $249, this is a straight 20% off the list price and the lowest we can find from a reputable source in brand new condition.

Amazon is now offering $100 off new M4 iPad Air models before they’re released this week

Amazon is offering its first cash discounts on the brand new M4 iPad Air 11- and 13-inch M4. It is now available for pre-order at a reasonable price $100 off via Amazon with no strings attached, the new M4 Air is set to release this week on March 11th and you can snag some deals here.

M4 iPad Air 11-inch

M4 iPad Air 13-inch

As we previously explained, Best Buy is matching the above deal on the entry-level 128GB 11-inch model, and it’s going to knock. $50 off any new M4 iPad Air configuration for its Plus and Total paid members.

However, Amazon is getting aggressive here with the new Spirit, delivering direct cash discounts on all of them. Naturally, the discounts get deeper as you go up the storage tier – up to $50 on affordable models, up to $80 on the 512GB variant, and a solid $100 price drop on the 13-inch M4 iPad Air with 1TB of storage.

While the 1TB 13-inch variant won’t be universally appealing due to the list price, the fact that you can get one right now for $100 off before the item is released is pretty remarkable. Even the previous generation M3 models took the best time before we started seeing them $150 off they are sitting right now.

The Official Anchor Blue Apple Sport Loop and Band is up to 41% off at Amazon today, retailing from $29

Alongside the latest Apple Shopping Best Buy event (ends at midnight tonight), we’ve seen a few notable deals on Apple Watch bands and Amazon has now dropped one size of the official Apple Anchor Blue Sport Loop back down $39 shipped. A separate Sport Band is also marked down now $29.

Amazon is now offering one size (fits most) Apple Sport Loop in the latest Anchor Blue color below $39 shipped.

This regular $49 Apple band is now 20 percent off list price to match the lowest we’ve tracked except for previous offers that are $5 less — that $34 price point is the lowest we’ve tracked on Amazon for this Sport Loop.

This is the best Sport Loop Apple has made if you ask me. The Anchor Blue color appears on other band styles (including the Sport Band that now sits on the floor $29 Prime shipped from regular $49 – that’s 41% off), but the Loop delivers a dark, navy-like look (especially in person) that I really appreciate.

Amazon is now offering $300 off pre-orders of the 2026 Apple Studio Display

Alongside the new MacBook Neo, M5 Air, and M5 Pro MacBook Pro and the new M4 iPad Air models, Apple also launched the new Studio Displays last week and they are now seeing direct cash discounts on Amazon – until. $300 off list prices.

Apple Studio Display 2026 pre-order deals

As you can see above, the Apple Studio Display with Tilt- and Height-Adjustable Stand, and the development of nano-texture glass sees a deep discount courtesy of Amazon where it is $ 300 less than the price of buying it directly from Apple.

Obviously these aren’t cheap displays, and they’re understandably more of a niche purchase than anything else Apple’s releasing this week (except for the new $3299+ Pro XDR display of course), but if you want to get the 2026 update, you might as well save some money.

For a complete list of what’s new with the latest release of Studio Display, head over to 9to5Mac – here are the quick links:

Anker’s 25W Qi2 Prime 3-in-1 wireless charging station just hit Amazon brand new.

Last month Anker released a new foldable 25W Qi2 Prime 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station, and today we’re tracking down the best price yet. We already had a chance to try it out for review and came away impressed with the package, but the new Amazon Lightning deal now offers the lowest price yet. 25% discount.

Anker’s official Amazon storefront will now offer its new 25W Qi2 Prime 3-in-1 foldable charging station $115.99 shipped. This is a regular $150 unit which is $4 below the launch price we posted in February for the lowest delivery we’ve tracked so far.

There are more affordable chargers out there, but this is the latest and greatest 25W foldable model that works as well on the desktop as it does on the go.

Everything folds into a compact package while leaving the 25W Qi2 charging pad available on the iPhone. However, once you open it, another wireless charging pad for AirPods is waiting underneath next to the Apple Watch charger that pops out to charge your Cupertino wearable.

It’s also shipped with a USB-C cable and a wall charger you’ll need to power it up next to the built-in active cooling – actually whisper the record:
