Amazon Drops Prices on Select M5 MacBook Air and M4 iPad Air

Cuts of $100 to $150 reverse portions of Apple’s summer price increases and create short-lived, stock-sensitive bargains tied to specific colors and configurations.

Overview

  • Amazon applied automatic, time-limited discounts on Monday and Tuesday that cut $150 from certain 13‑inch M5 MacBook Air models, pricing the 10‑core 24GB/1TB unit at $1,649 and a 16GB/1TB mid‑range model at $1,449.
  • The retailer also reduced multiple 2026 M4 iPad Air configurations by up to $149, with examples including the 11‑inch 128GB Wi‑Fi at $649 and the 13‑inch 1TB Wi‑Fi at about $1,399.
  • Best Buy has matched many of the iPad offers, and all reported discounts have been applied at checkout without coupon codes or special memberships.
  • The markdowns represent the steepest price relief since Apple’s summer 2026 increases, giving meaningful savings for buyers who delayed purchases because of higher MSRPs.
  • Stock is uneven by color and SKU, deals appear likely to sell out quickly, and publishers reporting the offers disclose affiliate links that may earn them commissions.
