August is bringing a wave of hardware discounts. Amazon has launched several markdowns on premium Apple products, headlined by a $100 price cut on the Apple Watch Ultra 3. This brings the black titanium model with the matching ocean band to $699.99. Buyers looking for standard options can also find the Apple Watch Series 11 starting at $299 for the 42mm size, matching recent seasonal low prices.
Audio and accessory gear is seeing similar price drops. AirPods Pro 3 are currently available for $200, while the AirTag 2 is sitting at its all-time low price point of $22 per unit. For power users, Anker’s 100W three-port smart display charger is marked down to $50, offering a 30% reduction from its standard retail cost.
Best Buy is also active this week with an updated August back-to-school sale. The event covers a range of items including laptops, smart TVs starting at $80, and various dorm room essentials. These offers complement a broader set of deals on Apple Certified Refurbished inventory, where MacBook Air models are currently discounted by as much as $240.
Professional-grade hardware is not left out of the current rotation. Select M5 Max MacBook Pro configurations are seeing price drops of up to $500, particularly for the 2TB storage models. Whether you are searching for high-performance computing power or baseline home tech, retailers are clearing inventory ahead of the upcoming academic and fiscal season.
