Amazon listings read on Oct. 15, 2026 showed three current Apple products below Amazon's list price: the AirPods Pro 3, the Apple Watch SE 3 and the AirPods Max 2. MacRumors and 9to5Toys both reported Apple discounts at Amazon that day.

AirPods Pro 3: best for noise cancellation on the go

The Amazon listing read on Oct. 15 showed the AirPods Pro 3 at $199.00, down from $249.00 (a $50.00, or 20%, cut). 9to5Toys says that is $50 off the list price.

Apple says the earbuds have up to 2x more Active Noise Cancellation than the previous AirPods Pro and up to 8 hours of listening with noise cancellation on one charge. They are IP57 dust, sweat and water resistant and add heart rate sensing, Live Translation and Hearing Aid capability.

Apple Watch SE 3: best for a first or budget Apple Watch

The Amazon listing read on Oct. 15 showed the Apple Watch SE 3 GPS 40mm in Starlight at $199.99, down from $249.00 (a $49.01, or 20%, cut). 9to5Toys reports the same $199.99 price. Our earlier Watch SE 3 story covers this model.

Apple lists up to 18 hours of normal use per charge, an Always-On Retina display, sleep score, Crash Detection and Fall Detection, and 50-meter water resistance. As of Oct. 15, that page lists no ECG app or Blood Oxygen app for the SE 3.

Apple's Series 12 page describes an ECG app and blood oxygen readings. The Amazon listing read on Oct. 15 showed the Apple Watch Series 12 at $389.99 with no discount.

AirPods Max 2: best for over-ear listening

The Amazon listings read on Oct. 15 showed the AirPods Max 2 in Midnight and in Blue at $449.00 each, down from $549.00 (a $100.00, or 18%, cut). MacRumors and 9to5Toys reported the AirPods Max 2 at $429 earlier on Oct. 15, from $549. It has since risen to $449, the price shown above.

Apple says they have the H2 chip, up to 1.5x more Active Noise Cancellation than the previous generation and up to 20 hours of listening with noise cancellation and Spatial Audio on. They offer Lossless Audio over USB-C.

Price and availability

All three Amazon.com listings read on Oct. 15, 2026 showed the products as shipped and sold by Amazon.com, at the US prices above: AirPods Pro 3 $199.00, Apple Watch SE 3 40mm GPS $199.99 and AirPods Max 2 $449.00.

None of the AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch SE 3 or AirPods Max 2 listings showed an end date on Oct. 15, so the end date is not announced. Prices can change.

Why it matters

Per Apple, the Pro 3 adds stronger noise cancellation, IP57 resistance and heart rate sensing. Our assessment: that makes the $199.00 listing the strongest fit for noise cancellation and workouts, while Apple's SE 3 page listed no ECG app as of Oct. 15 and the Max 2 suits over-ear listening.
