Fall Prime Day Final Hours Bring AirPods, Apple Watch and Mac mini Discounts
Amazon’s 2026 fall Prime Day sale entered its final 24 hours on Oct. 7, with 9to5Mac reporting discounts on AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Max 2, Apple Watch Series 12 and SE 3, Mac mini, Bose headphones and accessories.
9to5Mac reported that Amazon was selling AirPods Pro 3 for $179, down from $249, a discount of about 30% and one of the best deals the publication has tracked. The 2026 AirPods Max 2 was $120 off at $429, compared with a regular price of $549. Apple released new AirPods 5 models last month, but the report said they are too new for discounts and noted that buyers can get the better AirPods Pro 3 for just $30 more than a comparable set with a wireless charging case. Amazon has placed an official countdown clock on the AirPods Pro 3 listing page, 9to5Mac said, suggesting the deal could end when the clock strikes midnight on the West Coast. The report added that some major Apple deals tend to appear again for a few hours early the next morning or as hangover offers for a couple of days.
The report also highlighted the M6 Mac mini lineup at up to $150 off. For wearables, it said the new Apple Watch Series 12 saw its first notable Prime Day discounts, with the 42mm model at $350, down from $399, and the 46mm model at $400, down from $450. GPS + Cell versions were listed at $450 for 42mm, down from $500, and $500 for 46mm, down from $550. The Apple Watch SE 3 started at $199 for 40mm Midnight or Starlight models, down from $249; 44mm versions were $229, down from $279; and a 40mm GPS + Cell model was $249, down from $299. The report said an Apple Watch Ultra 3 clearance deal was live again at nearly $200 off, while Ultra 4 offers at $99 off had been unreliable because of stock.
Beyond Apple, 9to5Mac reported accessory deals including Nomad’s Find My wallet card from $23, a large collection of Elevation Lab AirTag 2 mounts, Anker gear, iPhone 18 Pro cases and 25W chargers from $24. It said Amazon was offering the lowest price to date on Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, which it noted could match a burgundy iPhone 18 Pro. In smart cleaning, Roborock was offering up to $1,600 off. The Qrevo Edge 3 Pro robot cleaning system was $985, down from $1,500; the Saros 20 was $1,180, down from $1,600; the Qrevo 2 Pro was $485, down from $800; and the F25 Steam Series wet/dry vacuum mop was $360, down from $600.
The report described the sale as the last chance for many of the listed prices, with the final day on Oct. 7.
