In an update posted October 6 at 5:09 p.m. PT, 9to5Mac reported that Amazon had lowered the new Mac mini further as Prime Day ramped up. The 2026 M6 Mac mini with 16GB memory and 256GB storage was priced at $769, down from $899, while the 16GB/512GB version was $950, down from $1,099. Both were described as all-time lows. The same update listed a 2026 M5 Max Mac Pro with 24GB memory and 512GB storage at $1,550, down from $1,699, also an all-time low, though the article later identified an M5 Max Mac mini with the same memory, storage and price. The source did not reconcile that discrepancy.

The deals followed a price drop on AirPods Pro 3 to one of their lowest prices to date, according to the report. The fall Prime Day promotion also included a $200 price drop on the 2026 Mac Studio and all-time-low pricing on the M6 Mac mini lineup of up to nearly $150 off.

For the MacBook Air, Amazon cut $200 from nearly every M5 configuration it offers, with several color options available on most. A 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 16GB/512GB was $1,099, down from $1,299; the 16GB/1TB model was $1,399, down from $1,599; and the 24GB/1TB model was $1,599, down from $1,799. The 15-inch versions were $1,299 for 16GB/512GB, down from $1,499; $1,599 for 16GB/1TB, down from $1,799; and $1,799 for 24GB/1TB, down from $1,999.

Amazon’s Mac mini discounts covered the entry-level M6 configuration through the more powerful M5 Max-equipped model, with as much as $149 off. The 2026 M6 Mac mini with 16GB/256GB was $769, and the 16GB/512GB model was $950, both all-time lows. The M5 Max Mac mini with 24GB/512GB was $1,550, another all-time low, according to the report. The report’s earlier mention of an M5 Max Mac Pro at the same price remained unexplained.

The 2026 M5 Max Mac Studio with 36GB of RAM was $2,300, down from $2,499, the lowest price tracked since its release last month and about $200 off.

Amazon was still offering an M5 Pro MacBook Pro at $500 off, though the report said it was waiting for a broader set of MacBook Pro deals. The 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB/2TB was $2,699, down from $3,199, which the report said was $100 below its pre-price-hike MSRP.

Accessories also received discounts. Both the black and white Magic Mouse saw rare markdowns of up to nearly 25%, with the white model at $60, down from $79, and the black model at $80, down from $99. Apple’s new 2026 Magic Keyboard with all-glyph keys received its first discount, falling to $80 from $99.

Editor's Summary Amazon’s fall Prime Day promotion brought all-time-low prices on several new Mac mini configurations and about $200 discounts across most M5 MacBook Air models, according to 9to5Mac. The report also listed a roughly $200 Mac Studio discount, a $500 MacBook Pro markdown and first-time or rare discounts on Apple’s new Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse. The source contained an unresolved discrepancy between an M5 Max Mac Pro and an M5 Max Mac mini listing at the same price.
