AirPods 3 discounted to $150 following Apple’s Far Out event

Chugging along into Apple event week, Amazon is now offering a rare chance to save on the latest AirPods 3. Right now you can score the latest earbuds for $150 at Amazon, which drops down from the usual $179 price tag. We’ve largely seen these out of stock or at full price over the past few months, with today’s discount providing a notable chance to lock-in $29 in savings. This matches our previous mention and is the lowest since we saw them hit $140 in July for a day. 

If you’re not sold on the new AirPods Pro 2, Apple’s latest entry-level 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. Head below for more.

Apple Watch SE is the most affordable way to run watchOS 9

Apple took the wraps off its newest wearables yesterday, and for those who aren’t quite impressed, Amazon is rolling out a notable discount on an existing model to get you in on the fitness tracking for less. Right now, Apple Watch SE 44mm GPS has dropped to $240. That’s down from the original $309 price tag and beats the price of the new Apple Watch SE 2 by $39. 

The original Apple Watch SE arrives at the most affordable price point of a wearable sold by Apple now that supports the soon-to-be released watchOS 9. It delivers many of the same fitness tracking features as the more flagship end of Apple’s lineup, with an integrated heart rate sensor sitting underneath the Retina OLED display. While there isn’t a blood/oxygen sensor, you’ll still find a swim-proof design, integration with Fitness+, and everything else that users have come to love about Apple Watch.
