Amazon’s 2026 Labor Day Early Sale offers discounts on a wide range of Apple products, from AirPods and iPads to accessories and the latest MacBook Pros. Discounts range from $19 for a set of four AirTags to $500 for the MacBook Pro m5 Max, and this is especially relevant with Apple’s iPhone 18 launch approaching. If you’re shopping within the Apple ecosystem while waiting for the next iPhone, these deals are worth considering. For more deals we’ve tested across tech , home, and other categories, stay tuned for our Labor Day coverage throughout the holiday weekend.
Save up to $30 on AirPods
On Amazon, all three AirPods models are discounted, starting with the standard AirPods 4 at $99 instead of $129. This is the most affordable pair and retains Apple’s open-back design, which is better suited for those who don’t like silicone ear tips. AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are priced at $149 instead of $179 and retain the same fit but with the addition of ANC, making them a more useful option for commuting or traveling.
The AirPods Pro 3 are the most feature-rich model at $225 (down from $249), but they’re also a different kind of earbud. Their silicone eartips provide a tighter seal, making them a better choice if more effective noise cancellation is more important than the open feel of the AirPods 4. They’ve also added features like adaptive sound, hearing health monitoring tools, and a heart rate monitor during workouts, making them more appealing to people who wear earbuds actively throughout the day.
Save up to $500 on the 2026 MacBook Pro m5.
Amazon is selling two 2026 MacBook Pro configurations from Apple, with the M5 Max model receiving the biggest discount. The version with 48GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD is now $4,499 instead of $4,999, a significant price reduction if you truly need this kind of performance for video editing, 3D graphics, development, or other resource-intensive tasks. However, for everyday web browsing, writing, and office work, this is a much more powerful computer than most users need.
The M5 Pro is a more realistic choice for a wider range of buyers, priced at $2,354 instead of $2,499. It features 24GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, providing ample space for more demanding creative and technical tasks without the M5 Max’s price tag. Apple unveiled both models in March 2026.
Save up to $50 on iPad.
The 11-inch iPad with an A16 processor and 128GB of storage is a more basic option at $399, down from the original price of $449. This lower-cost model comfortably handles basic tasks, whether streaming video, reading, video calls, studying, or using the keyboard for simple tasks.
The iPad mini with the A17 Pro processor and 128GB of storage costs $569 instead of $599, and its main advantage is its smaller size. It’s more comfortable to hold for reading, taking on trips, or using for quick notes, but you’re paying $170 more than the 11-inch iPad at current discounted prices. If portability isn’t your primary reason for buying an iPad, the larger model offers a larger screen for less money.
Save over $30 on Apple accessories.
In this case, the second-generation AirTags are a more versatile accessory, available in a four-pack for $79.99 instead of $99, which, according to price tracking sites , is the lowest price available at the moment. A four-pack is especially convenient if you want to distribute them among luggage, keys, backpacks, or other frequently lost items, rather than paying for each tracker individually.
The Apple Pencil Pro is a more specialized option, priced at $97 (down from $129). It’s ideal for those who already use a compatible iPad for handwriting, drawing, photo editing, or document markup, as these are the situations where the added precision and control are truly needed. For everyone else, AirTags are easier to recommend, as they solve a simpler, everyday problem.
Amazon Labor Day Deals FAQ
When do Labor Day sales start?

Should you have sales on Labor Day?

Compared to sales like Black Friday or Prime Day, Labor Day offers fewer deals in terms of quantity and quality, but you can still find great deals on appliances and kitchen equipment that will match those holiday prices—or even be lower. (We use price tracking tools to let you know whether a deal is worth it.)
What other stores are having Labor Day sales?
Home Depot , Amazon, and Wayfair have already launched their Labor Day sales. Target, Walmart, and Best Buy are likely to follow suit. (Lifehacker will be collecting discounts for all of these sales.)
