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. 

Amazon’s nearly 25% price drop on AirPods Pro 3 still live, could jump back up any minute

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.

Amazon is still offering Apple’s latest AirPods Pro 3 down at $189.99 shipped. 

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.

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.

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.

  • AirPods Pro 3 $190(Reg. $249)
  • AirPods Max 2 $449(Reg. $549)
  • AirPods 4 $99(Reg. $129)
  • AirPods 4 with ANC $119(Reg. $179 new) – Renewed Premium

Official Apple refurb store offering most affordable M5 MacBook Pro at $300 off

While we are still tracking a sizable $500 price drop on this 2TB M5 Pro MacBook Pro, deals on the most affordable end of the M5 lineup have been much harder to come by. Apple’s official refurb store however, is serving up a compelling offer on the most affordable M5 MacBook Pro it still sells with the 16GB/1TB configuration at $300 off the list price. 

The official Apple Certified Refurbished Store is offering the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and the 1TB SSD down at $1,699 shipped. 

This is a regularly $1,999 machine brand new, and you can now land it straight from the source with a proper 1-year Apple warranty at $300 less than that.

For comparison’s sake and to further highlight the point above, Amazon is charging $1,849 for this model in new condition right now. And, it has not sold for any less than that there since the late June price hikes official took hold at official retailers.

This is a refurb, but we are talking about the best possible source for a refurbished MacBook and what is easily among the lowest prices we can find on the internet from a reputable source on the most affordable M5 MacBook Pro you can still buy from Apple in new condition.

Anker’s latest 3-in-1 Qi2 25W foldable MagSafe Charging Station now back down to Prime Day all-time low (35% off)

After getting a chance to give this model a go for review earlier this year at launch, Anker’s 25W 3-in-1 Prime Foldable MagSafe Charger has become a staple in my EDC, travel-kit, and at-home charging setup. And now down at nearly 35% off, we are getting another shot to land one back at the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon. 

The official Anker Amazon storefront is now offering its latest 25W 3-in-1 Prime Foldable MagSafe Charger down at $99.97 shipped.

This is a regularly $150 charging unit with a 3-in-1 setup and the max 25W output on the MagSafe pad at just shy of 35% off the list price on both the Phantom Gray/Black and Radiant White models.

This week’s deal is matching our previous mention to land on par with the big Anker summer sale discount and this year’s Prime Day price.

While this thing is a palm-sized, easily transportable unit, it also has enough heft to it to stay in place on your desktop or nightstand making it just as capable at home in your workstation as it is on the go.

You can use the main MagSafe pad while it is collapsed and folded up, but once you flip it out to reveal the pop-out Apple Watch charger and third Qi pad for your AirPods, it is capable of handling your entire kit.

  • 3-in-1 foldable MagSafe charger with 25W Qi2
  • Active Cooling “Cicada Wing” biomimetic airflow channels for “whisper-quiet 19 dB operation”
  • Total 25W power output across all three devices: iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods
  • Qi2 certified with MagSafe-compatible magnetic alignment • Supports iPhone 17, 16, 15, and 14 series
  • iPhone: 25W max wireless charging
  • (3.74 × 2.38 × 1.22 in) and weighs the same as an iPhone 17 Pro Max (8.11 oz)
  • What You Get: Anker Prime Wireless Charging Station (3-in-1, MagGo, AirCool, Foldable), 45W USB-C charger, 5 ft USB-C to USB-C cable, 2× anti-slip watch stickers, welcome guide, 24-month warranty

Most affordable Apple Watch Series 11 models now $100 off again starting from $299

Amazon is carrying over summer sale pricing on AirPods Pro 3 into August, alongside the all-time low on AirTag 2, but it has also brought back the deals on just about all of the most popular (and affordable) Apple Watch Series 11 models at $100 off with deals starting from $299. 

Amazon is now once again offering all of the base GPS-only Apple Watch Series 11 models at $100 off the list prices with the 42mm model down at $299 and the 46mm model at $329. 

  • 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 $299(Reg. $399)
  • 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 $329(Reg. $429)

These are the same deals we were tracking for the summer Prime Day festivities, and then again at various times in July, but you are getting another shot at them again here today. As of the time of writing, only the base GPS-only models are seeing notable discounts – there are some offers on the GPS + Cell variants but they are, by and large, not sitting down low enough for us to recommend pulling the trigger

It appears as though Amazon is having a hard time keeping the base 42mm Jet Black in stock right now, but it does also look like there’s a good chance it will return at anytime now – all 46mm colors options are in stock at $100 off.
