TL;DR
Amazon and other retailers are listing notable discounts on recent Apple hardware, including a Renewed Premium 1TB iPhone 16 Pro for $879 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 models up to $250 off. Price cuts also include the base iPad mini, official bands, and new Beats and accessory offers.
What happened
A new round of post-holiday discounts surfaced this week, led by Amazon Renewed Premium pricing on a 1TB iPhone 16 Pro in Desert Titanium for $879 shipped — about $620 below the original $1,499 list. Amazon’s Renewed Premium program is offering unlocked units with its highest-grade refurbishing, a one-year warranty and return options. Apple Watch Ultra 2 models have also been reduced, with Natural Titanium variants starting around $549 (a $250 drop from $799) and some black Ultra 2 units at Best Buy listed near $599 ($200 off). Apple’s smallest iPad, the A17 Pro iPad mini, is down to about $389.99 on select colors (roughly $110 off). Accessories and bands are discounted as well: Apple’s Anchor Blue Sport Loop for 46mm returned to an all-time low of $34, and Amazon hit an all-time low on Apple’s black Trail Loop in medium/large. Several Beats and charging accessories are included among the broader offers.
