The topic Deals: Most affordable M5 MacBook Pro $1,499, base 16-inch M5 Pro $250 off, iPhone… is currently the subject of lively discussion — readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.
This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies’ decisions and competitors’ reactions can quickly change the picture.
While Amazon is shipping MacBook Neo from $590 as early as tomorrow, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by the most affordable M5 MacBook Pro you can buy back at $1,499 Amazon low ($300 off launch price), alongside the base model 16-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro at $249 off and Apple’s 48GB M5 Pro MacBook Pro at $300 off. You can also land rare deals on iPhone 16e down as low as $449 at Amazon today and Apple’s 13-inch M4/M5 iPad Pro Magic Keyboard at 25% off. Just be sure to scope out the now live ecobee 2026 Memorial Day sale at up to $120 off and even more down below.
We have been and still are tracking loads of major price drops on the latest MacBook Pro releases, but this morning we are seeing a deep discount on the most affordable model you can buy at $200 off the list price, and $300 under its launch price.
Amazon is now offering Apple’s 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and the 1TB storage capacity down at $1,499.99 shipped. Both the Space Black and Silver models are down at this price right now.
This is matching the lowest price we have ever tracked at Amazon and only the second time it has been down this low.
The 16GB/1TB model launched in late 2025 with a $1,799 list price. Then, back in March, Apple decided to do away with the entry 512GB storage tier, which in turn dropped the price of this 1TB configuration to $1,699.
This effectively raised the price of entry into the M5 MacBook Pro lineup because there was no longer a 512GB model to buy, but it also made the 1TB storage capacity more affordable by $100.
Today’s deal is $300 under its launch price and $200 under the current list price at Apple to match the lowest we have tracked to date. Today’s deal is, in fact, only the second time we have ever seen the now entry model M5 machine down at a price this low on Amazon.
It also, as mentioned above, sits alongside a host of discounts on the M5 Pro models:
The era of iPhone 17 is in full swing, and we are roughly 5 months away from iPhone 18, but if you or anyone you know is looking for a far more affordable iOS device, Amazon has a great deal on an unlocked iPhone 16e today – you can score one down as low as $449 today.
Today Amazon is offering renewed Apple iPhone 16e 256GB handsets down at $449 shipped. This is a “Refurbished – Excellent” unit and a particularly rare deal.
While there have been deals on 16e for a long while now, this listing is shipped and sold directly from Amazon, not some third-party seller, and includes a FREE 90-day refund/replacement guarantee.
The iPhone 16e certainly isn’t for everyone, and it’s certainly no iPhone 17 Pro or something. But it is also a far less pricey endeavor and a compelling option for casual users, kids, grandma, or just as an extra for yourself.
The model we are featuring here today launched at $699 and is now $250 less than that.
Apple does not sell iPhone 16e in its official refurbished store online, leaving this Amazon deal as a rare chance to score one at a major discount from a reputable source.
We certainly catch our fair share of refurbished and open-box deals on the official iPad Pro Magic Keyboard, but notable discounts on brand new units are relatively rare. Today, however, over at Amazon you’ll find Apple’s 13-inch model sitting down at 25% off the list price to deliver one of the best deals we have ever tracked there.
Amazon is now offering the 13-inch Apple iPad Magic Keyboard Case for iPad Pro (M4 and M5-compatible) down at $262.50 shipped.
This is a regularly $349 Magic Keyboard at 25% off the list price. Today’s deal is the best of the year and by and large the best we have ever seen on Amazon for this model – there was an incredibly short-lived offer at just over $230 last October, but it didn’t last for more than a few hours or so.
These Magic Keyboard are certainly pricey, but if you’re going to invest in an iPad Pro I might argue they are worth it. Easily the best and most elegant I have ever used, Apple’s take on the iPad keyboard case delivers “USB-C pass-through charging, front and back protection, and magnetic attachability” with no pairing or charging required. The glass trackpad with haptic feedback is a wonderful touch, much like the additional function row on the keyboard.
Arguably one of the best Apple Watch Series 11 deals we have tracked yet has now returned. While we are seeing deeper deals on the pricey Titanium variants, Amazon is once again offering the $130 price drop on the 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cell models.
Amazon has all four case colors of the 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cell model sitting back down at $399 shipped. The smaller and less pricey 42mm model is actually sitting at the same price right now (that one is $100 off its list price).
This is a $529 configuration seeing a solid $130 price drop to bring it back down to the lowest price we have ever tracked. We saw this same Series 11 configuration drop to $459 for Black Friday last year, and then down to the previous low at $429 ahead of the holidays and a couple times this year. But at $130 off, you’re looking at the lowest price we have tracked to date at Amazon.
As seen above, you will still find a limited selection of 42mm GPS-only models starting from $299 and the $100 price drops on the same 46mm model are all still live starting from $329 if you don’t want the Cell connectivity option. But the 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cell is clearly the standout deal here, and it is now back for the taking.
There are plans of more affordable MagSafe batteries out there for iPhone Air users, but perhaps none more elegant than the official Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery – and it is currently sitting down at the Amazon all-time low at nearly 40% off.
Amazon is currently offering Apple’s iPhone Air MagSafe Battery that launched alongside the new ultra-thin handset back in September down at the best price we have tracked to date.
Regularly $99, it is now available at $59.99 shipped – the lowest price we have ever seen on Amazon with nearly 40% slashed from the list price.
We caught this deal quickly last week before it quickly jumped back up in price, but things seemed to have settled now and Amazon is continuing to give folks a chance to land one at what is, by Apple standards anyway, a giant 40% discount.
Yes there are more compact and more affordable options out there, but don’t let the length of the official Apple model fool you – it is specifically made like that to elegantly match the size of the iPhone Air nicely and to maintain a particularly thin form-factor.
It’s also not the largest capacity battery either, but there’s just something about its form-factor, first-party integration, and iOS Battery Widget support that makes it a top contender for me at $60.
If you, however, are not convinced, we will leave you with some alternative options that might suit your taste better:
