Amazon Labor Day Sale Deepens Apple Discounts; Rare Working Apple I Heads to Auction

Amazon’s Labor Day sale cut prices on AirPods Pro 3, AirTag 2 and Mac minis, while a signed, working Apple I from 1976 goes under the hammer with a top estimate of $800,000.

According to 9to5Mac, Amazon opened the event with the AirPods Pro 3 at $199, down $50 from its regular $249 price, bringing the earbuds within $9 of the best price recorded in recent months. The retailer matched the all-time low on Apple’s AirTag 2 at $24 each, or $80 for a four-pack, with the four-pack reaching a new low. Pre-orders for Apple’s M6 Mac mini were also discounted: the 16GB/256GB model at $880 and the 16GB/512GB at $1,070, compared with list prices of $899 and $1,099. The M5 Pro version saw a smaller discount as well, according to the report.

Apple’s Certified Refurbished Store restocked M5 MacBook Air models, listing the 13-inch 16GB/512GB at $1,099 and the 16GB/1TB at $1,359, the latter $240 off regular price. Amazon’s renewed iPhone 17 Pro units, carrying a one-year guarantee, reached all-time lows of as much as $290 off comparable new prices.

The sale extended beyond Apple. Amazon’s Lightning deal of the day, spotted by Android Authority, put Anker’s Prime Power Bank (26,250mAh, 300W) at $259.99, down from $329.99. Amazon UK ran a separate bank-holiday promotion that TechRadar said reduced thousands of items by up to 50%, including Kindles, a Lenovo Chromebook and Blink smart-home bundles.

Meanwhile, a chapter of Apple’s early history is returning to the auction block. Engadget reported that the “Hatfield” Apple I, one of roughly 200 units built in 1976 and one of fewer than 75 believed still to exist, will be offered by Bonhams on October 14. The computer, which still works, carries a motherboard signed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and is registered as No. 48 on the Apple I Registry. Bonhams’ estimate of $500,000 to $800,000 sits above the computer’s original price of $666.66; the same machine fetched $671,400 when it last sold in 2013.

Also included is a 1978 letter from Steve Jobs to the Apple I’s original owner, Fred Hatfield. After Hatfield complained about scarce software, Jobs offered to swap the machine for an Apple II 4K board if Hatfield sent the Apple I to Apple along with a $400 check. Hatfield declined and later sold the computer to a collector for $40,000, Engadget reported. Bonhams will exhibit the lot in Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco and New York before the sale.
