Apple's current Mac lineup is getting a round of price cuts heading into the weekend, according to a roundup published by 9to5Mac on Saturday. The M5 MacBook Air is listed at $200 off, matching what the outlet calls the best pricing it has tracked in months. The M6 Mac mini is discounted by up to $150, and the Mac Studio is down $200 from its regular price.
None of the figures are absolute sticker prices, just the size of the cuts 9to5Mac says it found, so shoppers will need to check current listings for the final numbers on their configuration of choice. The outlet also flags that several configurations have already crept back up in price since the roundup went live, which is the usual churn with deal pricing that moves hour to hour.
Beyond the laptops
The discounts extend past Apple's computers. AirPods Pro 3 are still discounted, 9to5Mac says, even though the price has ticked up slightly from where it sat earlier in the week. AirPods Max 2 are down $120. Apple Watch Series 12 is at what 9to5Mac describes as an all-time low, though again without a specific dollar figure attached in the roundup.
Accessory pricing rounds out the list. Cases for the iPhone 18 Pro start at $41, with 9to5Mac noting that only the Pro and Pro Max cases qualify for its exclusive 9TO5MAC checkout code, not the iPhone Duo. The outlet also points to rare discounts on Apple's Magic Mouse and what it calls the first price cut on the new Apple Magic Keyboard, though neither comes with a published price in the roundup.
Third-party accessories get a mention too. Spigen has an Apple Watch Loop Strap with a metal buckle down to $20 with Prime shipping. Anker's 45W Nano iPhone chargers start at $26. A coiled burgundy USB-C cable two-pack, styled to match the iPhone 18 Pro's colorway, is priced at $24 for the pair.
This lands just after fall Prime Day 2026, which typically drags Apple pricing down across the board for a week or two before it drifts back toward normal. The deals 9to5Mac is tracking fit that pattern: Mac hardware that rarely gets discounted directly from Apple is instead showing up cut at third-party retailers, with the caveat that availability and exact pricing can shift without notice.
For anyone sitting on an older MacBook Air or an aging Apple Watch, the practical move is to check current listings rather than rely on figures from earlier in the week. 9to5Mac's own note that some configurations have already risen in price is the clearest sign that this window won't stay open indefinitely, and there's no word yet on how long the remaining deals will hold.
