Deals: AirPods 3 fall to $160 at Amazon, official Apple Watch bands from $25, more

All of today’s best deals are now up for the taking and headlined by AirPods 3 going on sale for the first time in months at $160. That’s alongside official Apple Watch bands from $25 and Logitech’s popular MX Keys Advanced for Mac at $95. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

AirPods 3 have been hard to find in stock, now on sale for $160

Amazon is currently offering Apple’s latest AirPods 3 for $160. Delivering the first actual discount since back in May, today’s offer is a rare chance as of late to actually save any cash on the recent releases. These typically retail for $179 and have largely been out of stock over the past several weeks. So while the $19 in savings might just be the third-best price to date, it’s a notable chance to finally save. 

Apple’s latest earbuds just launched back in October and most notably arrive with a redesigned casing that takes a page out of the pro version’s book. While you’re ditching the silicone eartips, AirPods 3 arrive with much of the same Spatial Audio support, as well as added water-resistance for tagging along on runs or workouts. Plus, there’s the nifty new MagSafe charging case that provides 30 hours of listening to complete the package. 

Official Apple Watch bands start at $25

Amazon is now discounting a collection of official Apple Watch bands, with the Leather Link style leading the way at $80. Available in several styles for both 45 and 41mm wearables, these are down from the usual $99 price tag in order to mark the first time since February several colorways were up for grabs. These are also the second-best discounts to date at $5 under our previous Prime Day mention. You’re looking at one of the more recent additions to Apple’s official stable of Watch bands, not to mention one of its more premium offerings. Comprised of handcrafted Roux Granada leather made in France, this is certainly one of the more premium in-house straps from Apple. Alongside its stylish appearance, the Leather Link band also features a magnetic design that locks in place without having to fuss with a clasp.

Logitech’s popular MX Keys Advanced for Mac sees rare discount

Amazon is now offering the Logitech MX Keys Advanced Wireless Keyboard for Mac at $95. Down from $120, today’s offer is delivering the first notable price cut of the year at $25 off while marking the best we’ve seen since last summer. 

Logitech’s MX Keys Advanced is one of the more popular workstation upgrades on the market for Macs thanks to its premium build with matching Space Gray finish. Alongside a macOS keyboard layout, this model sports a backlit design with both Bluetooth and the USB wireless receiver connectivity backed by FLOW support rounding out the package to switch between various devices in your setup. Our hands-on review offers a better idea of what to expect.

M1 Pro MacBook Pros now $250 off

Amazon is now dropping prices further on Apple’s latest M1 Pro MacBook Pro models. Leading the way is the larger 16-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro 512GB for $2,249. Down from the usual $2,499 price tag, you’re looking at the best price to date that is not only $250 off, but also $50 under our Prime Day mention. We’ve only seen it sell for this price once before, and that back in April. 

Apple’s latest flagship MacBook Pro refreshes the popular 16-inch form-factor with a redesign inside and out. The new M1 Pro chip powers the experience and pairs with a 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display backed by ProMotion, 120Hz refresh rates, and 1600 nits of peak brightness. Packed into that new chassis is up to 21-hour battery, as well as a new array of I/O like the return of MagSafe charging, HDMI, three Thunderbolt ports, and more. See why it was our Apple product of the year.

On the smaller side of the M1 Pro feature set, the 14-inch version of Apple’s latest MacBook Pro is also on sale courtesy of Amazon today. Now sitting at $1,799 for the 512GB model, this is also matching the second-best price of the year at $200 off the usual $1,999 going rate. Those who need 1TB of storage can also upgrade at $2,249 from its usual $2,499 going rate. It packs a similar spec sheet as the larger counterpart above, just with the 14-inch Retina display instead to pair with its M1 Pro chip, MagSafe charging, and other notable features.

Apple’s official leather/silicone AirTag Loops now on sale from $20

Amazon is now offering the official Apple AirTag Leather Loop in Saddle Brown for $24. Normally fetching $39, today’s offer is a new all-time low at 26% off while beating the previous mention by $3.

Whether you picked up a more affordable alternative right when you first scored AirTags or have been holding out for a sizable discount on first-party accessories, today’s AirTag Loop deals finally let you bring the usual Apple quality into your everyday carry. Comprised of specially tanned European leather, each of the AirTags holders use a looping design to firmly attach to bags, luggage, and really anything else.
