Deals: M5 MacBook Air $240 off straight from Apple, AirPods Pro 3, AirTag 2, transparent metal power bank, more
Those deals join up to $500 off M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models, a new all-time low on David Pogue’s ‘Apple: The First 50 Years’ hardcover book, and a notable $50 launch deal on Sharge’s new transparent metal 24000mAh power bank with RGB smart display. There are some July sale events scheduled to run through Sunday, so we might see the AirPods Pro 3 discount, AirPods Max 2 at $100 off, and more extend through the weekend, but there’s no telling for sure and the AirPods 4 with ANC deal has already disappeared on Amazon as of this morning. Black Friday in July ushered in another shot at a series of notable deals on Apple’s current-generation AirPods, not the least of which AirPods Pro 3 at $50 off.
