Apple cuts $300 off renewed M5 MacBook Pro at refurbished store

Apple’s latest batch of discounts has landed, giving buyers a chance to pick up renewed M5 MacBook Pro models, AirPods Pro 3 and fresh Apple Watch Series 11 units at near-record lows. The headline grabber is an official Apple refurb store price cut that shaves $300 off the entry-level M5 MacBook Pro, while Apple Watch Series 11 models are now $100 cheaper than their launch MSRP. The drop follows last week’s flash sale on AirPods Pro 3—nearly 25 % off—and a new low of $41 for Matte Black Beats Solo Buds.

These discounts come as retailers clear summer inventory and prepare for the back-to-school rush. Apple’s refurbished store often refreshes pricing at the start of each month, but the timing this week also aligns with seasonal promotions at Best Buy and other chains. Shoppers hunting for wired accessories aren’t being left out either: Apple is slicing prices on Sport Bands and Loops by as much as $15, making them the cheapest they’ve been since launch.

Anker has matched the mood with two all-time lows of its own. The 3-in-1 Qi2 25W foldable MagSafe Charging Station is back under $110, while the 45W Nano Smart Display charger has dipped to $55. Best Buy’s updated Back-to-School sale is bundling up to $75 off laptops, $30 off iPads and $20 off select AirPods, giving families one more reason to shop now. Availability is limited on several refurbished Macs and newly discounted watches, so carts are disappearing fast.

For anyone waiting for a price drop on premium Apple gear, this week is the moment to move. The refurbished MacBook Pro and fresh Series 11 watches won’t last at these levels once the back-to-school window closes. Meanwhile, Anker’s chargers and Best Buy’s broader sale signal that bigger tech discounts are still on the horizon—if you act before Labor Day.
