Beat Apple's Price Hike: Last Chance to Score Cheap iPads and Macs for Prime Day

Apple today announced price hikes across a wide array of its biggest products, including iPads, Macs, HomePod, and Vision Pro.

These price changes are now live on Apple.com, but they have yet to hit third party retailers like Amazon. If you're interested in any of these products, now is the time to buy them on Amazon, before the retailer gets these price hikes as well.

Below we've listed all of the biggest products available on Amazon that will be getting price hikes soon. Given that it's still Prime Day, many of these devices are on sale right now. You can read more about the incoming price changes in our lead article.

We've noticed that some of these products have already begun to sell out on Amazon ever since Apple announced the price hikes this morning. If you're interested in these low prices, you should act quickly.

iPads

Macs

With these changes, some products that weren't considered steeply discounted before are now much more enticing. For example, the M5 MacBook Air discount to $949.00 was originally a $150 discount, and is now technically a $350 discount on the new price.

If you're on the hunt for more discounts, be sure to visit our Apple Deals roundup where we recap the best Apple-related bargains of the past week.

Update: Some of these devices have started selling out on Amazon, so we've removed them completely or made notes where appropriate.

Costco is an even better choice for a lot of these Apple products.
Yep. Just purchased my first personal MacBook (MBA 15" 24GB/1TB) for $1,549, Apple is $1,999.

At new prices I really don’t know how I could recommend getting any iPad, it could already be argued that it’s too expensive for what it does but now it’s simply unjustifiable.

Yep. I got an M3 iPad Air at Costco for $399. Excellent deal.

It's probably not in stock anymore, but when those iPads go on clearance at Costco, that's the time to buy.

I just ordered a Best Buy base model M5 MBA for $949 in a tax free state so no sales tax. My wife didn't realize she needed a new one yet.
