AirPods 5

You can pre-order the AirPods 5 and AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case right now on Amazon, available for $129.00 and $149.00, respectively. There are no pre-order deals yet on these devices, and they will officially launch on September 18.


If you're looking to save some money, and don't need Active Noise Cancellation, Amazon currently has the previous generation AirPods 4 for $99.00, down from $129.00. There's also a solid deal on the AirPods Max 2 for $449.00, down from $549.00.

Apple Watch Series 12

Apple Watch Series 12 models are also up for pre-order on Amazon today, starting at $399.00 for 42mm GPS devices and $449.00 for 46mm GPS devices. These will also launch on September 18 alongside the new AirPods 5.


If you're interested in the cellular models of the Apple Watch Series 12, you have a chance to get the first savings on these devices via Amazon. The 42mm Cellular Series 12 is available for pre-order at $489.99, down from $499.00, which isn't a large markdown but it is the only deal you'll find on these brand-new watches online right now.


You can also pre-order the new Titanium Apple Watch Series 12 models starting at $699.00, and the Ceramic model is available for $949.00.

Apple Watch Ultra 4

The Apple Watch Ultra 4 is available for pre-order on Amazon for $799.00 in Black and Natural Titanium color options. This device will launch on September 18, alongside the Series 12 and AirPods 5.

Extremely small price reduction but cannot complain when it is not even 24 hours since announcement and is still in pre-order phase.

I’m a three year watch cycle person. What about y’all?
I'm still using my Series 7. I don't even know if I'll get another Apple Watch after this one dies.

I already preordered an Ultra 4 from Apple. I think the new lease program is an excellent choice for the Apple Watches.
Care to elaborate on why?

I can understand leasing a car, but a $700 Apple Watch? At that point I’d rather just buy it outright and be done with it.
