That’s exactly what’s happening right now with the new 2025 MacBook Air, released in March. The 256GB version launched at $999 but for Prime Day, Amazon has dropped the price to $849. This is not only the lowest price ever for this model, but it’s also half the price of the least expensive MacBook Pro which starts at $1,699

Amazon Prime Day deals are in full effect, and even on Day 3 of the sales, Apple continues to offer some stellar MacBook deals, with savings of up to $350 on every Air and Pro model. The best deals I've seen so far are $150 off the M4 MacBook Air (arguably one of the best laptops you can buy right now) and a whopping $170 off the M4 MacBook Pro.

Apple's elite-level M4 processor makes this 13-inch MacBook one of the very best laptops available anywhere, especially when the price is cut down by 15%.

As of July 9, the latest in the MacBook Air range is on sale for $849 at Amazon. The discount applies to all colors, so you can choose from starlight, midnight, silver, and sky blue.

Of note, the four colors mirror those available with the MacBook Air, which comes in Midnight (black), Starlight (gold), silver, and sky blue. It makes sense that an iPhone Air model would align with the same options. Plus, black, silver, and gold are the most common iPhone colors.
