Best Apple Deals Right Now: iPhone 17 Pro Up to $290 Off

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to pick up new Apple hardware, this week’s Apple deals are about as good as it gets outside of a Prime Day blowout. We’re talking iPhone 17 Pro units at close to $300 off, a MacBook Pro back at its all-time low, and a handful of Father’s Day-timed discounts that actually make sense as gifts. Here’s the full rundown — and some context on whether these prices are worth acting on now or holding out for.

• Apple deals this week include iPhone 17 Pro up to $290 off via Amazon renewed listings, among the steepest discounts tracked yet.
• The best Apple deals on MacBook Pro put the M5 Pro 14-inch 24GB model at $1,999 — matching its all-time low price.
• AirPods 4 have dropped to $99 on Amazon with Father’s Day delivery still available at time of writing.
• The base iPad A16 is back in stock at $299, a $50 discount that makes it one of the easiest gift recommendations this weekend.

Apple Deals on iPhone 17 Pro: The Best Discounts Tracked So Far

The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have been stubbornly expensive since launch — that’s just Apple’s reality in 2026. But the last couple of weeks have opened up some genuine breathing room. Amazon’s renewed listings are currently showing iPhone 17 Pro models at up to $290 off list price, which puts a 512GB Deep Blue at $1,123 (down from $1,299) and a 1TB Cosmic Orange at $1,209 (down from $1,499). For the Pro Max, Woot’s ongoing sale features what it calls ‘pristine’ condition units — described as having ‘never been in customer hands’ and carrying a ‘100% battery life’ rating — with the 512GB going for $1,300 against a regular price of $1,399, and the 2TB model dropping from $1,999 to $1,749.

These aren’t clearance-rack throwaways. The ‘pristine’ and ‘renewed’ categories from major retailers like Amazon and Woot have gotten meaningfully more reliable over the past few years, and Apple’s tight hardware tolerances mean a well-graded refurb tends to hold up. Notably, Apple’s own refurbished store still doesn’t carry the iPhone 17 series at all — which tells you something about how recently these phones launched and why third-party channels are the only game in town for Apple deals right now.

Stock on specific color and storage combinations is already thinning, which is typical once deal-aggregator coverage picks up. If a particular configuration matters to you — say, 1TB in Deep Blue — it’s worth checking sooner rather than later.

M5 Pro MacBook Pro at Its Lowest Price Yet

Among this week’s Apple deals, the MacBook Pro discount deserves special attention. B&H is offering the 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage at $1,999 — a clean $200 off the $2,199 list price, and the lowest the Silver configuration has ever been tracked. The Space Black version dipped to $1,984 briefly at Amazon back in May, but the Silver model never made it that far until now.

The 24GB / 1TB M5 Pro configuration is the one most analysts and reviewers point to as the value entry point for the pro MacBook lineup. You get Apple’s M5 Pro chip — which Apple positions as delivering up to 2x CPU performance gains over its Intel-era predecessors — without paying the steep premium on the 48GB or 512GB-base configurations. For developers, video editors, or anyone running heavy local workloads, $1,999 for this spec sheet is competitive with anything else in the premium laptop segment.

Worth keeping in mind: deals on the more accessible M5 Pro configs have largely maxed out at $200 off, while the higher-spec machines have occasionally seen $300 drops. If you’re considering a higher-tier build, it may be worth monitoring a few more weeks. But for the 24GB base model, this is as low as it’s gone.

AirPods 4 at $99 and Other Father’s Day Apple Deals

The consumer-facing Apple deals this week lean heavily into Father’s Day timing, and the AirPods 4 at $99 is probably the most broadly appealing of the bunch. These are the current-generation entry-level AirPods — not the Pro 3, which carry active noise cancellation and a heftier price tag — but they’re still a fully up-to-date piece of Apple audio hardware with a clean unboxing experience that makes them a reliable gift pick.

The $99 price matches the best Amazon has offered this year, outside of a brief $89 dip back in March. Prime Day is likely a few weeks out, and there’s a real chance the AirPods 4 revisit that $89 mark. But if the delivery window for Father’s Day matters more than squeezing out a final $10 in savings, the current price holds up. The AirPods Pro 3, meanwhile, are expected to see their own notable discounts in the coming days — so if Dad is an audiophile or a frequent flyer who’d actually use noise cancellation, it might be worth waiting a short while.

iPad A16 Back at $299 — and Apple Watch Ultra 3 Nearly $100 Off

The 11-inch iPad with A16 chip briefly went out of stock this week after Amazon first ran it down to $299, but it’s back now with listings still showing Father’s Day arrival times. At $50 off the $349 list price, the base 128GB configuration is hard to argue with as a casual-use tablet. This is Apple’s most affordable current-gen iPad, and it’s genuinely well-suited to the kind of light usage — streaming, browsing, the occasional video call — that most non-power-user iPad owners actually do.

The 256GB tier is also marked down to $399 (from $449), and the higher storage option is priced at $597 (regularly $649), making the mid-tier look reasonably attractive for anyone who stores local media or downloads apps heavily. But for a Father’s Day gift targeting someone who doesn’t already have a strong opinion on iPad storage tiers, the $299 entry model is the obvious choice.

Elsewhere in this week’s Apple deals, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is sitting nearly $100 off its standard price — a rare discount on Apple’s flagship wearable, which almost never sees meaningful markdowns this close to launch. Beats headphones are also up to $220 off at Best Buy, and the MacBook Neo — not an Apple product, but worth a mention for comparison shoppers — is shipping by tomorrow from $590.

Should You Buy Now or Wait for Prime Day?

The honest answer is: it depends on what you’re buying. For Father’s Day items with a delivery deadline, the window is essentially closing now. For anything else, Prime Day — which Amazon typically runs in mid-to-late July — has historically been the single best moment of the year for Apple deals on accessories, iPads, and older MacBook configurations. The iPhone 17 Pro discounts, though, are trickier to predict. These are newer devices, and the current Woot and Amazon pricing is already at the floor of what’s been tracked. Waiting six weeks for a marginally better price on a $1,300 phone is a calculation only you can make.

What this week does signal, broadly, is that the second-hand and renewed market for flagship Apple hardware is maturing fast. The fact that pristine iPhone 17 Pro Max units are available through major retailers at meaningful discounts — while Apple’s own refurbished store hasn’t even listed the 17 series yet — suggests a growing ecosystem of off-lease and returned units cycling through certified channels more quickly than in previous years. That’s good news for anyone who wants current-gen Apple performance without current-gen Apple pricing, and it’s a trend that’s only going to deepen as the iPhone 17 lineup ages into the next product cycle.
