Apple's AirPods 3 have returned to their lowest-ever price of $139.99, down from $179.00. Today's sale beats the Black Friday price by $10, and only Amazon is offering the deal.

Unfortunately, the AirPods 3 will not arrive in time for Christmas. The fastest method will deliver around January 3-4, while the regular free shipping option has a January 4-5 delivery estimate for most places in the United States. If you're a Costco member, you may have more luck getting the AirPods 3 before Christmas at that retailer, which is also matching this sale.
In regards to AirPods with rock-bottom prices but delivery after Christmas, Amazon also has the AirPods 2 for just $89.99, down form $129.00. This is a match of the lowest price we've ever seen on this model, but it won't arrive until January 7-8 at the earliest.
In both cases, if you aren't specifically shopping for holiday presents and just want the absolute best deals on these AirPods models, now is still a great time to buy. These are the best prices we've seen all year on the AirPods 2 and AirPods 3.
We track sales for every model of the AirPods in our Best AirPods Deals guide, so be sure to bookmark that page while you shop around for the wireless headphones.

Apple is planning to launch new MacBook Pro models as soon as early March, but if you can, this is one generation you should skip because there's something much better in the works.
We're waiting on 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, with few changes other than the processor upgrade. There won't be any tweaks to the design or the display, but later this...

It has been a slow start to 2026 for Apple product launches, with only a new AirTag and a special Apple Watch band released so far.

Apple is expected to release/update the following products...
I picked up a pair on AirPods 3 when they went down to $139 a week or two ago and I have to say I'm very impressed with the improvements to sound quality. The bass is punchier and everything just sounds clearer and richer compared to my second generation models. My only complaint is that the new shape doesn't feel as snug in my ear as the second generation AirPods which fit perfectly, but that's an issue specific to me and my ears. Definitely recommend if anyone is on the fence.
