The 36GB configuration of Apple's M5 Max MacBook Pro was listed at $900 off on Amazon when 9to5Toys reported the discount on Thursday, calling it an all-time low for the machine. The outlet did not list the exact sale price, only the size of the cut, so shoppers chasing the deal will need to check Amazon's listing directly before it moves.
The MacBook Pro markdown is the headline item in a broader sweep of Apple-adjacent price cuts 9to5Toys rounded up the same day, spanning accessories, a streaming box pre-order and a stack of iPhone game and app downloads.
Accessories and Apple TV 4K
AirPods Pro 3 were going for $50 off as part of what 9to5Toys framed as an upgrade for anyone building out an "iPhone Duo" setup, though the report did not specify the resulting price or which retailer carried the discount.
Apple's Pencil (USB-C), the accessory Apple also positions as an iPhone Duo companion, was listed as low as $61, again without a stated original price for comparison.
Official Apple cases for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max were marked at what 9to5Toys called all-time lows starting from $31.
The roundup also urged readers to lock in pre-order pricing on the Apple TV 4K now, warning that delivery windows could slip into late December the longer buyers wait. No price figure accompanied that warning.
App Store game and app deals
The bulk of the list was App Store software. DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT was down to $20 from its regular $40. Titan Quest: Ultimate Edition dropped to $11 from $28, and Way of the Hunter Wild Europe was $8, down from $11.
Smaller titles saw steeper percentage cuts. EvoCreo2: Monster Trainer RPG fell to $1 from $5. GigPocket, a gig-mileage tracking app normally $5, was free. EARTH 3D, an app billed as an "ultra real planet" simulator usually priced at $15, was also free.
9to5Toys's list Also, named Control Ultimate Edition, Codenames, 7Days: Backer, Through the Darkest of Times, Stair Quest, KOI Remake and Blue Wednesday among the day's discounted titles, though the report did not attach specific prices to those entries.
As with any App Store or Amazon sale, none of these prices are guaranteed to hold. 9to5Toys published its figures as of Thursday morning, and Apple and Amazon both adjust App Store and marketplace pricing without notice, so anyone eyeing the MacBook Pro cut or the game bundle should move before the listings reset.
