Deals: M5 MacBook Air, AirPods Pro 3, AirTag 2, power bank, more 9to5Mac

Brief

9to5Mac’s July 31, 2026 deals roundup spotlights steep discounts across Apple hardware and charging gear, with particularly strong value in Apple Certified Refurbished M5 MacBook Air units and time-limited Amazon promotions. Apple’s refurbished store is listing the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air (16GB/512GB) at $1,099 and the 16GB/1TB at $1,359 — pricing that undercuts many new/open-box retail offers and comes with Apple’s rigorous refurbishment process, a one-year limited warranty, 14-day returns, and AppleCare eligibility. Amazon is also running notable MacBook Pro deals: 14-inch M5 Pro 24GB/2TB models at $2,499 (15-core/16-core, $500 off) and $2,899 (18-core/20-core, $300 off).

Audio and mobile bargains include AirPods Pro 3 at $200, AirPods Max 2 at $449, AirPods 4 at $99, and AirTag 2 at an all-time-low $22 each, though some offers (AirPods 4 with ANC) are already out of stock. Power and charging deals feature Shargeek’s new transparent-metal 24,000mAh power bank (300W total, dual 140W PD 3.1 ports, 88.8Wh) at $179 launch pricing, plus UGREEN’s Nexode Pro 160W smart-display charger on launch discount. The roundup also flags a 40% drop on Apple’s MagSafe Battery to $59 and Amazon Renewed iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max markdowns with up to a 1-year Renewed Guarantee and >90% battery-life ratings. Many offers are tied to July sale windows and limited supply, so prices may change quickly.

July is about to come to a close and that might very well mean this month’s AirPods deals will as well. There are some July sale events scheduled to run through Sunday, so we might see the AirPods Pro 3 discount, AirPods Max 2 at $100 off, and more extend through the weekend, but there’s no telling for sure and the AirPods 4 with ANC deal has already disappeared on Amazon as of this morning.

Black Friday in July ushered in another shot at a series of notable deals on Apple’s current-generation AirPods, not the least of which AirPods Pro 3 at $50 off. However, it also served up a solid

$100 price drop on the 2026 AirPods Max 2, and the best price in months on the ANC-equipped AirPods 4. The latter of which has now gone out of stock, and we might see the rest of the lineup follow suit sooner than later.

There was a time when you could score this machine for less, but those days are long gone and it has been very difficult to find any M5 MacBook Pro for less than $1,199 since the price increases.

If you’re looking for the lowest possible price on the M5 MacBook Air from (not) arguably the best and most trustworthy source on the internet, these official Apple Certified Refurbished Store deals are worth consideration.

There might be a time in the future we see Amazon get aggressive with deal pricing on this model in brand new condition, but as of right now, $200+ off right after the price hike has truly taken hold at retail seems unlikely for the immediate future.

Sharge’s new transparent metal 24000mAh power bank with RGB smart display lands at $50 off (Launch deal)

Not all power banks are made equal, some have onboard displays and built-in USB-C cables, and some feature a gorgeously cyberpunk-themed inside-out design that put the electronics on display. Sharge’s new Shargeek 24000mAh Power Bank does just about all of that with the onboard RGB lighting, smart display, and display window into the interworkings of the device. It is also seeing a notable launch deal at $50 off.

The official Sharge Amazon storefront is now offering the brand’s new Shargeek 300W Power Bank with a 24000mAh battery capacity down at $179 shipped –

This is indeed the lowest price we have tracked at Amazon since the price increases and a solid $300 off at that, but if you don’t need the 18-core CPU and 20-core GPU setup, you can score the same machine with the 15-core CPU and 16-core GPU at a giant $500 off the new list price:

14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/2TB 15-core/16-core $2,499(Reg. $2,999)

14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro 24GB/2TB 18-core/20-core $2,899(Reg. $3,199)

There’s really no telling how much longer that sizable $500 discount will be live, but if you are looking for a MacBook Pro upgrade right now, you’ll definitely want this one on your radar.
