Rare Apple Watch Series 11 Discounts Hit All-Time Lows, M5 MacBook Air and AirPods Pro 3 Also Sharply Reduced

Breaking: Apple Watch Series 11 Hits $399 – Lowest Price Ever

Amazon has slashed prices on the Apple Watch Series 11 by up to $130, marking the lowest price ever for several models. The 46mm cellular version is now available for $399.00, a rare discount that represents a 24.5% reduction from its regular price of $529.00.

According to industry analysts, such deep discounts on a flagship Apple product are unusual within weeks of launch. "This is a clear signal that retailers are aggressively clearing inventory, possibly ahead of a mid-cycle refresh," said consumer electronics analyst Maria Chen of TechInsights.

Other Apple Watch Series 11 models are also at all-time lows: the 42mm GPS variant is $299.00 (down $100), and the 46mm GPS is $329.00. The 42mm cellular model matches the 46mm at $399.00.

M5 MacBook Air – $149 Off Select Configurations

Amazon is offering $149 discounts on the brand-new M5 MacBook Air, bringing the 13-inch 512GB model to $949.99 and the 15-inch 512GB to $1,149.99 – both record lows.

These deals apply to all color options. "We typically see M-series MacBook Airs drop by $100–$150 a few months after release, but this is happening much sooner," noted retail analyst James Park of DealTrack. "It suggests strong competition from Windows ultrabooks and possibly a response to softer demand."

AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 Also Discounted

The AirPods Pro 3 are selling for $199.99, a $49 saving that matches its all-time low. The AirPods 4 are available for $99.99, a $29 discount.

These offers come as Apple prepares to release firmware updates that could improve active noise cancellation. A source familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the discounts may be timed to clear channel stock ahead of the update.

Background

Apple Watch Series 11 launched in September 2025 with a range of health sensors and a brighter always-on display. The M5 MacBook Air debuted in March 2026, featuring the latest M5 chip and improved battery life.

What This Means

For consumers, these all-time-low prices present a rare opportunity to buy premium Apple hardware at significant savings. The $130 discount on the Apple Watch Series 11 is especially notable, as cellular models rarely see such steep cuts.

Investors should watch for impact on Apple's average selling prices. If these deals move units quickly, it could signal robust demand, but if they persist, analysts might adjust revenue forecasts. For now, the deals are available only at Amazon, and inventory is limited.
