Apple Raises Mac and iPad Prices as Prime Day Deals Reach Record Lows

Amazon's Prime Day 2026 enters its third day with aggressive Apple discounts available across the ecosystem. The timing is strategic - Apple just announced price increases on Mac and iPad models, making these limited-time savings particularly attractive for buyers who want to avoid paying higher MSRP later.

AirPods lead the audio deals with the AirPods Max 2 hitting a record-low $399 ($150 off), though only Midnight color remains in stock. AirPods Pro 3 dropped to $179 ($70 off) while standard AirPods 4 models start at $99. For the first time since launch, AirTag 2 receives meaningful discounts - the 4-pack sells for $89 (10% off) compared to full price elsewhere.

iPad buyers can save from $299 on the A16 model, with the iPad mini 7 at $499 ($100 off). MacBook Air M5 configurations start at $949 ($150 off) while MacBook Pro models see discounts up to $300 off. Apple Watch Series 11 begins at $199 for the SE 3 model, with Ultra 3 reaching $649 ($150 off).

Accessory deals include Thunderbolt 5 docks from $309 and MagSafe chargers up to 55% off. These Prime Day pricing gaps exist because Apple's recent MSRP increases haven't fully propagated to Amazon's inventory yet, creating a narrow window for savings.
