Day three of Amazon’s 2026 Prime Day sees Apple discounts surge as price hikes hit the retailer’s list. The M5 MacBook Air drops up to $350 off, while the base MacBook Neo trims $110. Even the high‑end M5 Pro and Max MacBook Pros sit between $450 and $800 below their new MSRP, urging shoppers to buy before the adjustments propagate, making it a massive price swing.

Audio gear remains a strong draw. AirPods Pro 3 still list at $179, a $70 reduction, and the AirPods Max 2 linger with $150 off, though inventory dwindles. Accessories see rare cuts: the black Magic Mouse falls to $79.99, an almost 20% dip, while AirTag 2 units hit $22 each, the lowest price since launch. These reductions push the devices into the budget‑friendly tier for many buyers today.

Beyond Apple, the day showcases deep savings on home‑tech. Roborock’s flagship Saros 10R vacuum‑mop now costs $885, shaving $715 off retail, and smaller models drop $250‑$450. Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto 6 opens pre‑orders on PlayStation 5 and Xbox, adding a non‑Apple headline to the frenzy. The clearance highlights Amazon’s strategy to clear inventory before the fiscal quarter.
