We have now moved into Day 2 of the Amazon Big Spring Sale with a batch of fresh discounts now up for grabs. Alongside the ongoing holiday pricing on AirPods Pro 3, we have the first cash deal on the brand new AirPods Max 2 at Amazon (or $130 off with trade-ins at Best Buy). Those offers are joined by Apple’s silver 24GB M4 MacBook Air back in-stock at $300 off the list price, a chance to land MacBook Neo down at $558 shipped (‘excellent’ Best Buy open-box with 1-yr. Apple warranty), and the first deals on Apple’s new Spring Collection iPhone 17 Pro and 17e cases. Head below for a closer look.

Amazon Big Spring Sale AirPods deals now live: AirPods Pro 3 $50 off, AirPods Max $100 off

First cash deal on brand new AirPods Max 2 live at Amazon, or $130 off with trade-ins

It’s not a giant discount or anything, but considering the brand new AirPods Max 2 just went up for pre-order yesterday, we wanted to make sure the first cash discounts were on your on radar – Amazon has select colors for less than anywhere else right now, but you can still trade-in an older set to score $130 off.  

AirPods Max 2 deals

Amazon is now offering the Midnight and Starlight AirPods Max 2 pre-orders at $529.99 shipped. Release is set for April 1. 

No, that’s very much not a big deal or anything considering they carry the same $549 list price as the previous model, but if you’re not going to be trading in for a set, you might as well pre-order them at the lowest possible price and save yourself the $20. 

All of that said, and as we detailed yesterday in our pre-order deal post, the best way to save is with a trade-in. As of right now, Apple does not appear to even be accepting trades towards the new AirPods Max 2 and that leaves retailers like Best Buy as your best bet if you’re looking to flip an older set. 

As we mentioned yesterday, Best Buy will take your old Lightning AirPods Max and give you $130 back against the AirPods Max 2 pre-order (or just send you a $130 Best Buy gift card, your choice). This is the best way to save on the Max 2 we have come across yet, but if you don’t have anything to trade in for them, you might as well save the cash and grab a set at Amazon instead. 

Apple’s silver 24GB M4 MacBook Air now back in-stock at $300 off the list price

The Amazon Big Spring Sale has now moved into day 2 and alongside some ongoing MacBook Air offers, the silver model M4 15-inch at $300 off the original list price is now back in-stock. 

Amazon is now offering the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air with 24GB of RAM and the 512GB SSD down at $1,299.97 shipped in silver. This is the same notable clearance deal we featured previously but the silver model is now back in-stock (the Sky Blue model is also at the same price).  

Here’s a look at the M4 MacBook clearance deals we are still seeing in stock (or have now returned):

As you can see above there are still colors available with the deep clearance discounts on several configurations, but color options are beginning to go in and out of stock. 

As far as the new M5 MacBook Air, which is a far better comparison than the launch price on the M4 considering Apple has upped the storage tiers, there are some price drops live across the board here. The most affordable 24GB 15-inch del is going to run you another $350, but it does include double the storage at 1TB:

Land MacBook Neo today down at $558 shipped (‘excellent’ Best Buy open-box with 1-yr. Apple warranty)

There are some very light $10 price drops for the new MacBook Neo over at Amazon on the more pricey 512GB model, but we just spotted the lowest price yet on “excellent” condition open-box units at Best Buy starting from $558 shipped. 

MacBook Neo Best Buy open-box deals:

As you can see above there are still some light discounts on Best Buy’s “excellent” condition open-box units across the lineup, but it is that 256GB Silver model sitting at the lowest price right now – it just dropped lower than it was over the last few days. 

  • Geek Squad Verified
  • Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings.
  • Includes all parts and accessories. Packaging may vary or be absent.
  • 1-year Apple warranty

Over at Amazon in brand new condition, the 256GB model is at the full $599 list price and the 512GB model with the Touch ID add-on is starting at $690 shipped ($10 off). The open-box deals clearly aren’t massive, but they are less and deals on the already affordable Neo might be harder to come by than not.

Scope it all out down below. 

Apple Watch Series 11

All of the base model Apple Watch Series 11 models are still $100 off to land on par with the lowest prices we have tracked with this sort of selection. But you will also find some of higher-end Titanium models landing at new Amazon all-time lows with $150 slashed from the list prices. 

Series 9 and 10

The Series 11 deals also join a host of particular deep discounts on previous-generation models, ranging from a massive $400 discount on the Doorbuster Series 9 steel model through to ongoing $300 price drops on select Series 10 GPS + Cell variants.

Big Spring M5 MacBook Pro deals now at the ready from $1,479 (Up to $200 off orig. prices)

The 2026 Amazon Big Spring Sale and it is carrying the best deals around on the M5 MacBook Air as well as the previous-generation M4 model, but we are also tracking a host of discounts on the M5 MacBook Pro as well at the lowest prices we have seen since release earlier this month. Scope it all out down below.

M5 MacBook Pro Amazon Big Spring Deals

While that soon to be coveted (and gone forever) 512GB model has jumped up in price a touch from last week (we tried to warn you, more than once), we are still looking at the lowest possible price to land a brand new M5-powered MacBook Pro here. 

That deal also joins a series of ongoing price drops on the 1TB models and the brand new M5 Pro MacBook Pro – Amazon is offering $50 off all M5 Pro configurations it carries. 

iPad Air Amazon Big Spring deals now live at up to $200 off

As part of the now live Amazon Big Spring Sale, we are tracking deals across the iPad Air lineup, including both the previous-generation M3 models and the b rand new M4 Apple just released. While stock on the M3 remains tight, there are still plenty of configurations at $200 off the list prices while the launch discounts on the new M4 iPad Air lineup carry on.

Now live again: Apple’s most affordable new 2026 Studio Display now $100 off at Amazon

Apple has unleashed its all new 2026 Studio Display lineup, and we are already tracking some discounts. This morning we featured deals on the ultra high-end Studio Display XDR model, with both the standard and nano texture glass variants a $100 off, but we also wanted to highlight the $100 price drop on the most affordable new 2026 model you can buy as well. 

Amazon is now offering the 2026 Apple Studio Display with the standard glass and the Tilt-Adjustable Stand down at $1,499 shipped. 

This is the most affordable model Apple sells – it carries a $1,599 list price but you can now score one at $100 off to deliver the first notable discount since release and, subsequently, Amazon all-time low pricing. 

Apple Studio Display XDR deals:

I guess it is a bit odd to refer to this $1,599 display as the most affordable, even though it is, but if you are looking to upgrade your setup with one of Apple’s premium 2026 monitors, it is indeed the one you will spend the least on. And you can score one at $100 off right now. 

On the other end of the spectrum – if you are looking to go big-time – you will also find $100 price drops live on the XDR variant right now as well:

  • Apple Studio Display XDR $3,199 ($100 off)
  • Standard Glass, Tilt- and Height-Adjustable Stand
  • Apple Studio Display XDR $3,499 ($100 off)
  • Nano Texture Glass, Tilt- and Height-Adjustable Stand
