Apple Price Hikes of Up to $300 Loom as July 4 Deals Keep MacBooks, iPads Discounted

3 articles · Updated · CNET · Jul 5

Summary

  • $300 price increases across Apple’s lineup are looming, making still-live July 4 discounts a narrowing chance to buy MacBooks, iPads, HomePods and Apple TV devices before costs rise.
  • Amazon is driving many of the standout offers, while Best Buy and Walmart are also discounting Apple gear; several promotions are set to expire by midnight and stock is already running low.
  • Current markdowns remain sizable on premium devices, including $349 off the 13-inch iPad Pro M5, $250 off the 16-inch MacBook Pro M4 Pro and $250 off the iPad Air M3.
  • Apple itself did not run a Fourth of July sale, so shoppers are relying on authorized retailers as broader post-holiday markdowns continue across the consumer market.
