The retailer listed AirPods Pro 3 at $199, $50 below the regular $249 price, 9to5Mac reported. The report said the price was within $20 of a $179 deal seen during the fall Prime Day and that another promotion could return around Black Friday.

Amazon also kept a pre-order discount on the next-generation Apple TV 4K at $289.99, below Apple’s $299 price, and was shipping units faster than Apple in several regions, according to the report. As of the report, Apple’s own site quoted delivery in late November to early December. The new Siri Remote that ships with the Apple TV 4K is also sold separately for $59, 9to5Mac said.

The silver Apple HomeView was back in stock at Amazon with release-day delivery for some buyers, the report said, after the model sold out quickly and Apple’s delivery estimate slipped to Dec. 3–10. The other three colors, including a Rose Pink model with a launch discount, remained available on Amazon with faster shipping than Apple in most locations, according to 9to5Mac.

For Macs, Amazon cut $150 from nearly all 13-inch M5 MacBook Air configurations. The 16GB/512GB model was $1,149, down from $1,299; the 16GB/1TB model was $1,449, down from $1,599; and the 24GB/1TB model was $1,649, down from $1,799, 9to5Mac reported. The report described the prices as solid but said better deals could come soon.

The roundup also included TechWoven-style iPhone 18 Pro and Duo cases priced up to $100 below Apple’s prices, with deals starting at $17; one of the first Made for iPhone Duo MagSafe power banks; and Anker’s 2026 Prime 25W 3-in-1 Foldable MagSafe Charger at 35% off. 9to5Mac said the deals were part of its Lunch Break roundup and that availability and delivery times could vary by location.
