Labor Day 2026 is already winding down, and the final hours of the massive Amazon and Best Buy sale events are the perfect time to score some of the lowest prices ever seen on Apple hardware. All-time lows remain on flagship accessories and laptops, while a fresh wave of discounting covers everything from the latest Mac mini and MacBook Air to iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone Air, and M4 iPad Air models. If you have been waiting to upgrade your mobile setup or restock on cables and chargers, these markdowns are the ones to watch before prices reset.
Apple fans are getting particularly strong opportunities across the AirPods lineup, including the premium AirPods Max 2 at a $100 discount. The all-new AirTag 2 four-pack is also sitting at a record low, and Mac users can grab refurbished versions of the M5 MacBook Air at the lowest price we have tracked this year. The sale extends well beyond Apple too, with deals spanning power stations, e-bikes, smart home gear, gaming laptops, monitors, speakers, and much more.

AirPods lineup sees steep cuts
The AirPods family is among the most compelling buys this Labor Day. Apple's current AirPods Pro 3 are down to $199, reflecting a $50 reduction from their usual $249 price. The over-ear AirPods Max 2 drop an even larger margin, falling from $549 to $449 — the first significant discount we have seen on this model in months. Entry-level AirPods 4 are also $30 off at $99. These are solid upgrades if you want active noise cancellation, spatial audio, or just a reliable daily pair.
For those who follow Apple's audio lineup, the AirPods Pro 3 pack improved noise cancellation and battery life compared with earlier versions, while the AirPods Max 2 retain the premium aluminum build and high-end sound quality that have made them a favorite for travel and studio listening. At $449, the Max 2 is particularly tempting for shoppers who normally wait for holiday sales.
AirTag 2 hits new all-time lows
If you are looking to keep track of your keys, luggage, or even your car, the AirTag 2 is available at some of the best prices yet. A single AirTag 2 is priced at $24, matching the all-time low, while the four-pack drops to $80 — that works out to just $20 per tracker and marks a new record for the bundle. This is an ideal moment to stock up for family members or to protect high-value gear before fall travel season begins.
The AirTag 2 includes improved precision finding, a longer-range Ultra Wideband chip, and a built-in speaker that makes it easier to locate misplaced items. When combined with Apple's Find My network, it is one of the most versatile trackers on the market.
Mac mini and MacBook Air deals
Desktop shoppers can find several Mac mini configurations on sale. The brand-new 2026 Mac mini with the M6 chip starts at $880 for the 16GB/256GB model, while the 16GB/512GB version is $1,070 and the 24GB/512GB model is $1,270. Those looking for more graphics power can pick up the M5 Pro Mac mini with 24GB/512GB for $1,669. These are some of the first meaningful price drops for the latest generation, making them particularly attractive for professionals and prosumers.
On the laptop side, the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD is discounted to $1,449 for a new unit, or $1,359 if you are open to Apple's certified refurbished models. The refurbished price is a $240 saving and is available in Midnight, Starlight, and Sky Blue. With Apple Silicon's efficiency and the fanless design, this remains one of the best ultraportable laptops for students, creators, and travelers.
iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air
Apple's newest iPhones are seeing major markdowns during the Labor Day rush. The 1TB iPhone 17 Pro is available at an all-time low of $1,208 in Silver, with Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue versions just a few dollars higher. If you need less storage, the 512GB iPhone 17 Pro is down to $1,170 in Silver and $1,171 in Deep Blue. These are strong discounts on models that rarely drop below list price so early in their lifecycle.
The all-new iPhone Air also joins the sale with prices starting at $850 for the 256GB model, $1,050 for 512GB, and $1,250 for 1TB. Open-box units are available for even less, including a Space Black 256GB model at $807 and a Sky Blue 512GB unit at $840. The iPhone Air is designed to be Apple's thinnest and lightest flagship, appealing to buyers who prioritize portability without compromising on camera quality or battery life.
M4 iPad Air discounts
The M4 iPad Air is another highlight of this year's Labor Day sales. The 11-inch model starts at $650 for 128GB of storage, down from $749, while the 512GB version is $949. If you prefer the larger 13-inch display, prices start at $850 for 128GB and $950 for 256GB. These tablets pair smoothly with the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard, making them versatile tools for note-taking, drawing, and light productivity work.
Given the M4 chip's performance and the improved display technology, these iPad Air deals are especially compelling for students and creative professionals who need a portable screen but do not require the full iPad Pro feature set.
Apple MagSafe Battery and accessories
Apple's mobile battery accessories are also part of the sale. The new iPhone Air MagSafe Battery is priced at $59, down from $99, while Amazon Resale units are just $39. This magnetic power bank attaches to the back of iPhone Air and supports passthrough charging, making it a convenient companion for long days away from an outlet.
Fans of Apple Watch bands can take advantage of a wide selection at reduced prices. The Sport Band is only $18, the Leather Link is $18, the Sport Loop is $22.50, and the Trail Loop is $36. Apple's woven USB-C charge cables are also deeply discounted, with one-meter cables starting at $11 for a single pack and multi-packs available for as low as $22.50. Longer two-meter cables are marked down as well, and MagSafe 3 charging cables for Mac notebooks are available from $27, with bundled options offering even more savings.
Charging gear and smartphone accessories
Beyond Apple's own accessories, the Labor Day sale includes a huge collection of third-party charging gear and mobile tools. Amazon's Anker sale is taking up to 46 percent off power banks and chargers, with Qi2 and Qi2.2 MagSafe-compatible models starting at $22. Baseus launched a new Dark Cherry 100W smart display charger at $40, and Twelve South returned its popular 30W PowerCord to $16.50. Belkin's semi-solid-state gel power banks and Anker's new MagGo 2 Pro with a cooling fan are also making their debut with launch discounts.
If you need a portable projector, the Anker Nebula P1 Google TV projector is down to $639. There are also smaller accessories like a MagSafe golf cart mount for iPhone at $20, a universal airplane tray phone mount at $9.50, and a Moto Tag 2 tracker at $17.50. Computer accessory lovers can check out the nuPhy Air75 wireless Mac mechanical keyboard at $70, a portable 16-inch AOC monitor at $50, and the Samsung M8 Smart Monitor at a new $300 all-time low.
More Labor Day highlights across categories
The event also brings solid discounts to categories like e-bikes, EVs, and outdoor gear. Velotric's Nomad 2 off-road e-bike with an extra battery is $1,999, while Tenways' Wayfarer cruiser e-bike hits a new $1,599 low. Segway scooters are available from $160, and Lectric's XPress2 step-thru e-bike includes a free extra battery bundle at $1,399.
Gaming deals remain active too, with Switch and PS5 titles seeing discounts across Amazon and Best Buy. Sony's PULSE Explore gaming earbuds are nearly half off through Amazon Resale, and Logitech's X56 HOTAS flight controller is $150 after a $100 drop. For home theater fans, Sonos speakers are up to $120 off and LG's most affordable 65-inch OLED TV has hit an $800 discount. Smart home shoppers can find robot vacuums from Roborock and Yeedi at record lows, Govee string lights from $80, and ecobee thermostats at $90.
With less than a day remaining, inventory is moving quickly and several of these deals may disappear once the clock strikes midnight. Whether you are upgrading your Apple ecosystem or grabbing a gift for the upcoming holiday season, this sale has plenty of notable bargains left to explore before Labor Day wraps up.
