Flip your old 2020 AirPods Max for the new USB-C set and save $130 on your pre-order right now
Some folks are die-hard AirPods Max fans, but Apple just unleashed the new set with USB-C charging and brand new color options. They unfortunately come with the same $549 MSRP as the original sets, but you can leverage the pair you already have to bring the price down if you’re looking to upgrade the newer models. We totally understand that just about everyone was hoping for a more significant upgrade on AirPods Max this year, but if you are looking to upgrade, you can leverage the set you have now to score $130 off your pre-order of the new AirPods Max USB-C before they ship on September 20. Head below to find out more.
Best Buy will offer $130 in trade value for the original AirPods Max, which can net you the new pair for $419, down from the regular $549 sticker price. Here’s how to do it:
- Navigate to the AirPods Max USB-C listing page, and add the color you want to your cart.
- Then navigate to your cart, and hit the “Check Trade-In Value” button.
- Follow the on-screen prompts – enter Apple and AirPods Max in the appropriate menus – and choose “Good” condition.
- And then hit the “Search” button at the bottom, select your AirPods Max color from the results, and then “Add it to Cart”
- This will then load your cart with both the new USB-C set and the trade-in, effectively knocking $130 off the new AirPods Max.

New black Apple Watch Ultra 2 at $499 with Series 9 trade + $50 off for Best Buy members
Let’s look at how to get a deal on the new black Apple Watch Ultra 2 right now. We have already featured similar posts on how to do this for the new Apple Watch Series 10, as well as the AirPods 4, but for now it’s all about the new satin black titanium Ultra 2 vibes. The new Apple Watch Ultra 2 in black debuted at Apple’s Glowtime event and pre-orders are now live at Amazon, Apple, and just about everywhere else. But Best Buy is offering folks a chance to score one with a deal. Firstly, My Best Buy Plus and Total members can score a straight up $50 off their pre-order right now, no trade required. But if you’re looking to let go of your Natural Titanium model or a Series 9, you can knock an additional $325 off for a total of $375 in savings on your stealthy new Apple wearable. Head below to find out how to get a deal on the new black Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Okay so, paid My Best Buy members, including both the Plus and Total tiers, can simply save $50 on pre-orders of the new black Apple Watch Ultra 2 right now. No strings, other than the membership, are attached here.
Now let’s talk trades. Best Buy will offer up to $325 in trade-in value for folks looking to flip out the Natural Titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 and up to $265 in value on the OG Apple Watch Ultra 1.
But the real value here is on the Series 9. Much like it is offering on trades against the Apple Watch Series 10, Best Buy will give you an elevated $300 in trade-in value on Series 9 towards your new black Ultra 2.
- Navigate to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 black listing page, and add the configuration you want to your cart.
- Then navigate to your cart, and hit the “Check Trade-In Value” button.
- Follow the on-screen prompts – enter Apple and Series 9 (or whatever Apple Watch you have to trade-in) in the appropriate menus – and then choose “Good” condition.
- Then hit the “Search” button at the bottom, select your Series 9 (or whatever Apple Watch you have) from the results, and then “Add it to Cart”
- This will then load up your cart with both the new Ultra 2 black and the trade-in.
Score Apple Watch Series 10 at $99 with Best Buy’s elevated Series 9 trade-in values ($300 off)
Let’s talk about how to get a deal on Apple Watch Series 10. Now officially revealed and up for pre-order, the new Apple Watch Series 10 with a new design – the first since 2021, thinner case, larger screen, and new watch faces. But let’s go over how to score one without paying full price.

Head below for more details.
But with Best Buy’s elevated trade-in values right now, you can score the new Series 10 for $399 and get $300 back for a Series 9 – that’s a total of $99 for a new Apple Watch Series 10.

Best Buy now offering AirPods 4 from $84 with AirPods 3 trade-ins (Reg. $129 – $179)
This morning we featured an extremely notable opportunity to trade in Series 9 for Apple Watch Series 10 to score $300 off your purchase. And now we are turning our attention to AirPods 4. As of right now, Apple isn’t even offering trade-ins for me towards its new AirPods 4 when trying to place a pre-order (and neither is Amazon), but Best Buy is. As of right now, with a set of AirPods 3 in good condition, for example, you can knock $45 off your pre-order of the new 4 series buds yielding prices stating from $84, or the lowest we have seen yet. Head below for the details.
Again, just like the Apple Watch Series 10 trade-in offer we featured this morning, this is how to make it all happen:
- Navigate to the AirPods 4 listing page, and add the configuration you want to your cart.
- Then navigate to your cart, and hit the “Check Trade-In Value” button.
- Follow the on-screen prompts – enter Apple and AirPods in the appropriate menus – and choose “Good” condition, “Yes,” and “Yes” in the three options presented.
- And then hit the “Search” button at the bottom, select your AirPods 3 from the results, and then “Add it to Cart”
- This will then load up your cart with both the new AirPods 4 and the trade-in, effectively knocking the price down to $84 for the basic model and $134 for the ANC set.

Apple Pencil Pro with Find My on sale down at $115 today via Amazon
We haven’t seen very many price drops on Apple’s new pro-grade Pencil since it debuted alongside the M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air. But today Amazon is offering Apple Pencil Pro down at $114.99 shipped. The regularly $129 top-of-the-line Apple Pencil did fall to $110 for a brief time at Amazon in late July, but today’s deal is otherwise the lowest price we have tracked there since release.
Made specifically for the new M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air, they are in fact the only machines Apple says are compatible with Apple Pencil Pro (at least for now anyway). You’ll find a detailed breakdown of all this in our Apple Pencil Pro vs USB-C, 2, and 1 feature right here.
