Joining the updated early fall Prime Day sale at Amazon and the giant ongoing $500 price drop on this M5 Pro MacBook Pro, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by iPhone 17 Pro Max models at up to $513 less than 18 Pro (Renewed Premium). We also have the official ecobee fall Prime Day HomeKit deals live today with discounts on Smart Thermostats, bundles, and more at up to $210 off, and a series of discounts on Apple accessories: Solo Loop bands from $7 or less, a rare $100 price drop on Apple’s Magic Keyboard Folio, and the official MagSafe Battery at 40% off. You’ll also find loads of charger deals, TVs, smart speakers, and more waiting down below.

Amazon updates early fall Prime Day sale with new deals: Apple, Google, Anker, Ring, more

Amazon now has iPhone 17 Pro Max models at up to $513 less than 18 Pro (Renewed Premium)

We have caught a number of chances to score a deal iPhone 17 Pro straight from Amazon, but we are seeing our first notable discounts landing on the unlocked Renewed Premium models alongside the early fall Prime Day deals. iPhone 18 Pro Max has arrived, but you can now land the comparable 17 Pro for over $500 less. Details below. 

You’ll now find the 1TB iPhone 17 Pro Max starting down at $1,385.78 shipped. That’s $213 under the original new list price on this model and a whopping $513 under the price of the 1TB 18 Pro Max from Apple. 

Apple launched the 1TB iPhone 18 Pro Max at $1,899 this month and, while the 1TB 17 Pro Max didn’t sell for that much when it debuted, prices have gone up and you can land a solid discount now courtesy of Amazon’s best quality Premium Renewed listing. 

Only the Deep Blue model is down quite this low straight from Amazon, but the others are still well below the price of a 1TB iPhone 18 Pro Max:

Apple still does not even carry iPhone 17 series devices in its refurbished store, and we are looking at the best quality units Amazon carries with the full 1-year Amazon Renewed Guarantee and “greater than 90% original battery life” – these are not your typical refurbished units.

Here’s Amazon Renewed Premium price lands on iPhone 17 Pro right now:

M5 Pro MacBook Pro now $500 off at Amazon in Silver and Space Black

There are still some notable deals live on the latest M5 MacBook Air for less, but we wanted to circle back on the major $500 price drop Amazon is serving up on this 2TB M5 Pro MacBook Pro – both the Space Black and Silver models are now sitting at the heavily discounted sale price. 

Amazon is currently offering the 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and 2TB of storage capacity down at $2,699 shipped. 

This is matching the lowest price we have tracked in months, but you will now find it available on both the Space Black and Silver variants – the latter isn’t typically discounted quite as often as the black. 

Apple Solo Loop blowout sale now live: One for $7, two for $10, or three for $15 (Orig. $49+)

Alongside the early fall Prime Day deals, Woot just launched a complete blowout sale on official Apple Braided Solo Loop and Solo Loop bands for Apple Watch. Every band is marked down to just $6.99 Prime shipped right now, and you can knock 30% off at checkout when you buy “two or more.” 

We have seen plenty of deals on the Apple Solo Loops over the last year, but nothing quite as low as this. We suspect colors and size options will start to disappear quite quickly here, and at prices this low you might as well score some if anything catches your eye. 

The Solo Loop originally sold for $49, so even if you just grab one it’s already a total steal. But at 30% off for two or more, the value is wild here:

Color and size options are already starting to run out of stock, so we will keep it quick – get in there while you can.
