What happened
9to5Toys has highlighted a set of Apple-related discounts currently available via Amazon and other retailers. Amazon Renewed Premium listings put the iPhone 16 Pro 128GB at $719 (original $999) and the 256GB at $779 (original $1,099); those renewed units carry a one-year warranty and return guarantee when sold and shipped directly by Amazon. Amazon is also offering Apple’s M5 MacBook Pro configured with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD for $1,599.99, down from $1,799. The 16GB/512GB M5 MacBook Pro is being offered at $1,449. On the wearable side, Apple Watch Series 11 base models are available at $299 (42mm) and $329 (46mm), with cellular variants listed at higher prices. Official Apple watch bands are discounted as well: Apple’s new blue Trail Loop is 25% off, Milanese Loops are roughly 20% off, and an Anchor Blue Sport Loop has returned to an all-time low of $34.
Why it matters
- Significant discounts on recent Apple hardware can lower the barrier to entry for buyers who delayed upgrades.
- Amazon Renewed Premium offers a one-year warranty and return window for refurbished devices sold and shipped by Amazon.
- The M5 MacBook Pro prices reflect post-holiday markdowns on machines that only debuted in October, suggesting retailers are adjusting inventory.
- Accessory discounts on official Apple bands and chargers provide lower-cost ways to personalize or supplement devices.
