The M6 Mac mini saw discounts reaching up to $150 on Saturday morning, as retailers kept promotional pricing active following recent fall sales.
When 9to5Toys rounded up hardware promotions on October 10, Apple's compact desktop sat at some of its lowest tracked figures so far. It was not the only desktop configuration getting trimmed. The publication noted that the higher-end Mac Studio dropped by $200 at the same time.
Portable audio and tablets followed suit. The 2026 revision of the AirPods Max 2 was listed at $120 off across every color option, while AirPods Pro 3 lingered at nearly 30% below regular retail pricing. Buyers looking for mid-tier tablets could find the 512GB M5 iPad Pro at a $150 markdown, with entry configurations starting at $649 on Amazon when the deals were recorded.
On the wearable side, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 was available at nearly $100 off on Amazon. The standard Apple Watch Series 12 also held onto its promotional pricing tiers across several configurations.
Android Foldables and Flagships Match the Cuts
Hardware competition kept pace outside Apple's catalog. Samsung's high-end foldable phones took substantial markdowns across multiple storefronts. Amazon listed the Galaxy Z Fold 8 at $350 off, while Best Buy offered open-box units cut by up to $628. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 was discounted by $235 on Amazon.
Traditional flagships saw comparable reductions. Brand-new units of the Galaxy S26 Ultra were listed at up to $510 off on Amazon, with baseline Galaxy S26 devices starting from $560.
Google's smartphone lineup saw similar pressure. The Pixel 11 had discounts reaching up to $300 on Amazon, while open-box listings at Best Buy shaved up to nearly $400 off the handset. Accompanying accessories were marked down too: the Pixel Watch 5 was listed at up to $70 off, and the Pixel Buds Pro 2 dropped by more than 25%.
Everyday desktop accessories rounded out the listings. Logitech's MX Master 3S wireless mouse was priced at $76, its POP ICON keyboard and mouse bundle sat at $42, and UGREEN's DXP2800 GT storage enclosure was listed at $400.
Because these promotions stem from leftover event inventory and rolling retailer price adjustments, availability tends to shift without warning. Retailers routinely alter or withdraw these numbers as warehouse allocations run dry.
