Brief

9to5Mac’s March 24 deals roundup is primarily a retail pricing update on Apple hardware rather than a product or technical analysis, with the strongest discounts concentrated on recently launched Macs and premium wearables. The standout notebook offers are a 24GB/1TB 13-inch M5 MacBook Air at $1,415.50 and a 14-inch 24GB/1TB M5 MacBook Pro at $1,799, while older M4 MacBook Air inventory is being liquidated at steeper discounts of up to $300 as stock thins out. On the accessories side, Best Buy’s open-box Apple Watch Ultra 3 pricing undercuts Amazon’s new-unit pricing by a wide margin, and Amazon has begun modest $100 markdowns on the newly released 2026 Studio Display family, including the XDR VESA configuration. The piece is essentially a deal tracker for Apple buyers, emphasizing price history, stock scarcity, and configuration-specific deltas rather than any new information about the underlying products.

Why it matters

Amazon cut the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD to $1,415.50 from $1,499 on March 24, 2026, an $83.50 discount that 9to5Mac says is the best cash price tracked so far for the new M5 Air lineup; most other M5 Air configurations were $50 off.

Key details

  • The 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro with 24GB RAM and 1TB storage was listed at $1,799 in Space Black, $200 below its late-2025 launch price and $100 below Apple’s current list after the 512GB tier was removed; 9to5Mac says it matches the lowest price seen since Black Friday 2025.
  • Previous-generation M4 MacBook Air inventory is being cleared at up to $300 off original prices, including a 15-inch 16GB model at $949, with some color/storage variants already selling out.
  • Best Buy offered an 'excellent' open-box Apple Watch Ultra 3 with black titanium case and matching Milanese Loop for $707.99 versus the $899 list price, a $191 discount; the unit includes a 1-year warranty and had rarely fallen below $779 previously.
  • Amazon discounted Apple’s 2026 Studio Display line by $100, bringing the standard Studio Display to $1,499 and the new Studio Display XDR with VESA Mount Adapter to $3,199, both described as all-time lows by the retailer tracker.

Today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by Amazon dropping this 24GB 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 1TB SSD to a new all-time low alongside this 24GB/1TB M5 MacBook Pro at $200 under the launch price, and the 15-inch 16GB M4 MacBook Air down at $949 (selling out quick). We also spotted a chance to land Apple Watch Ultra 3 at up to $190 off the new list prices and Apple’s new 2026 Studio Display XDR with VESA mount hitting a new all-time low at $100 off. Head below for even more deals on Sony’s 2026 earbuds, Apple Pencil, charging gear, and more.

Apple’s new 24GB 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 1TB SSD just hit new all-time low at nearly $85 off

Amazon has been serving up some notable $50 price drops across the brand new M5 MacBook Air lineup since launch day, and now select models have dropped even lower. The most notable of which is the 13-inch model with 24GB of RAM and the 1TB SSD that is now nearly $85 off the list price.

Amazon is now offering the 13-inch M5 MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage down at $1,415.50 shipped in silver. This is a regularly $1,499 configuration at exactly $83.50 off to deliver a new all-time low and the best straight up cash discount we have tracked across the new M5 lineup to date.

The rest of the 13-inch and 15-inch colorways and storage/RAM configs are all still at $50 off the list prices.

13-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,049 (Reg. $1,099)

13-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/1TB $1,249 (Reg. $1,299)

13-inch M5 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB from $1,415 (Reg. $1,499)

15-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB $1,249 (Reg. $1,299)

15-inch M5 MacBook Air 16GB/1TB $1,449 (Reg. $1,499)

15-inch M5 MacBook Air 24GB/1TB $1,650 (Reg. $1,699)

This new all-time low also joins some ongoing clearance discounts on the now previous-generation, but still quite capable, M4 MacBook Air as well. Color options are starting to sell out, but we are looking at some particularly notable discounts at up to $300 off the original list prices here:

Amazon has the 24GB/1TB M5 MacBook Pro at $200 under the launch price right now

We tried to warn everyone about that deal on the 512GB M5 MacBook Pro before stock completely ran out, and hopefully everyone interested got a chance to nab one beforehand. But for those looking towards a more powerful option without spending M5 Pro money, Amazon is still offering the 24GB/1TB model at $200 off the original list price. Details below.

Amazon is now offering the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 1TB internal SSD down at $1,799 shipped. This is the Space Black model and the next best price on the silver awaits over at B&H for $50 more – this has been a bit of a trend with the M5 models as of late with the silver variants being a little harder to come by.

Today’s deal land this machine at $200 under the price it launched at in late 2025. However, now that Apple has gotten rid of the 512GB tier, it is now $100 under the new list price. Either way, you’re still looking at the second-best price all-time for this config and a match for the lowest price since Black Friday 2025.

For those of you looking towards a more affordable MacBook, be sure to scope out Amazon’s ongoing clearance pricing on the M4 MacBook Air – configs are already to sell out now that select models are up to $300 off:

Apple Watch Ultra 3 models now up to $190 off new list prices (Best Buy ‘excellent’ open-box)

Outside of some short-lived deals on select configurations over the holidays last year, deals on Apple Watch Ultra 3 have been largely non-existent otherwise. There are some models on Amazon at $20 off right now, but we just spotted a chance to score the black Apple Watch Ultra 3 with the matching Milanese Loop at over $190 off the list price.

Best Buy is now offering “excellent” open-box condition Apple Watch Ultra 3 units with the black Titanium case and the matching Milanese Loop down at $707.99 shipped. That’s $191 off the $899 list price and the lowest price we can find.

Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings.

1-year warranty

This particular model has been sitting up at over $860 all year and has never dropped below $779 at Amazon – it was $799 during Black Friday and the holidays last year and dropped to $779 for a few hours in December.

This deal also joins some even lower prices on the standard band Ultra 3 models in open-box condition as well:

Apple’s new 2026 Studio Display XDR w/ VESA mount hits all-time low, most affordable model $100 off

As mentioned above, the most affordable new 2026 Apple Studio Display with the Tilt-adjustable stand (or the VESA mount) is now sitting at $100 off to deliver a $1,499 all-time low. But for those looking towards the high-end 2026 XDR model, a new low is also now live on that one with the VESA Mount Adapter down at $3,199 shipped (also $100 off).

Apple Studio Display/XDR deals:

Apple Studio Display $1,499 (Reg. $1,599)

Standard Glass, Tilt-Adjustable Stand

Standard Glass, VESA Mount

Apple Studio Display $1,899 (Reg. $1,999)

Standard Glass, Tilt- and Height-Adjustable Stand

Apple Studio Display XDR $3,199 ($100 off)

Standard Glass, VESA Mount Adapter

Apple’s Studio Displays are seriously gorgeous but they have never been the most affordable options, and the new 2026 lineup certainly isn’t either. If you are, however, looking to get in on the action here though, you might as well keep the extra $100 in your pocket.

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

Amazon all-time lows hit Apple Watch Series 11 Titanium models at $150 off (Slate, Natural, and Gold)

Alongside the clearance offers on the previous-generation Series 10 Titanium models, Amazon is also getting aggressive with Apple Watch Series 11 models this week. You’ll now find all three colors of the Apple Watch Series 11 Titanium Case variants with the matching Milanese Loop at $649 (Slate, Natural, and Gold) – that’s $150 off the list price.

Amazon is now offering the 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cellular models with the Titanium Case and Milanese Loop down at $649 shipped. Regularly $799 for these configurations, the Slate, Natural, and Gold models are all now $150 off.

46mm Apple Watch Series 11 Slate Titanium $649 (Reg. $799)

With Slate Milanese Loop

46mm Apple Watch Series 11 Natural Titanium $649 (Reg. $799)

With Natural Milanese Loop

You will find just about every other configuration Amazon sells at $100 off, including the base models at $299 and $329, as well as the smaller 42mm Titanium variants, but only the three 46mm models listed above are seeing the extra $50 price drop today.

And here’s how all those prices compare to the clearance deals Amazon is serving up on the Series 10 models right now – they are $300 off the original list prices:
