The massive 2026 Amazon Labor Day sale is now live with $50 off AirPods Pro 3 and the ongoing all-time low on AirTag 2 from just $20 each. However, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by Amazon now offering the first cash discounts on the brand new M6 Mac mini and M5 Pro Mac mini as well as this wild deal on the Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery from $39 and the best price ever on the 44mm Apple Watch SE 3 at $200. We also have the Anker Labor Day sale now live at up to 42% off, the Bose 2026 Labor Day deals now live at up to $320 off, and make sure you score yourself the new Apple Polishing Cloth for $9 Prime shipped before it sells out. Everything awaits below. 

Amazon now offering pre-order discounts on two most affordable new M6 Mac mini models

After just launching its massive Labor Day sale, Amazon has decided it really wants your M6 Mac mini pre-order – it has now dropped the price a touch on the two most affordable configurations. The deals aren’t massive, but it is literally the only reputable place to land the brand new mini M6 with a deal right now. Just make sure you go scoop up an Apple Polishing Cloth at $9 Prime shipped before they sell out completely. 

Late yesterday afternoon we spotted Amazon dropping the MSRP on the base model 16GB/256GB and now you can also add the mid-range 16GB/512GB model to the discount list:

We are clearly looking at light discounts here, considering the new mini starts at $899, but I mean, these things haven’t even released yet (delivery starts on September 22). And if you’re going to be pre-ordering without trade-in you might as well keep some gas or coffee money in your pocket in the process. 

As of right now, and very much as expected, the brand new M6 Mac mini is still sitting at full price from other authorized Apple retailers and, of course, straight from Apple. We are yet to see the 24GB M6 or M5 Pro model drop in price at all, but we will keep an eye out. 

Latest Midnight Apple Watch SE 3 just hit its best price ever at $200 via Amazon

As part of its now live 2026 Labor Day Sale, Amazon is now offering is best price ever on the 44mm Apple Watch SE 3  down at $200 – this is arguably one of the best values in current-generation Apple Watches we have tracked to date. 

Amazon is now offering the Midnight 44mm Apple Watch SE 3 down at $199.99 shipped. 

This is a regularly $280 model that is now just shy of 30% off the list price to deliver a solid $79 in savings. 

iPhone 17 Pro just hit its best price ever via Amazon at up to $290 off (Premium Renewed)

Just ahead of the iPhone 18 Pro launch, Amazon is now delivering new all-time lows on iPhone 17 Pro. If you’re looking to side step the full and likely very expensive price on the new Pro models next month, or wait for them to hit the refurbished shelfs for another 6+ months, Amazon’s best quality renewed iPhone 17 Pro units are now $290 off and with a full 1-year Amazon Renewed Guarantee. 

As of right now, the proper Amazon Renewed Premium listings are the very best place to score a deal on iPhone 17 Pro. Apple still does not even carry them in its refurbished store, and we are talking about the best quality units Amazon carries with the full 1-year Amazon Renewed Guarantee and “greater than 90% original battery life” – these are not your typical refurbished units. 

Both the 512GB and 1TB models are now siting at the lowest prices we have ever tracked:

All of the links above will take you to the proper Amazon Renewed Premium listings – watch out for those third-party sellers. 

I don’t know about you, but I’m really going to miss the 17 Pro colorways, as much as I did want to see an all black model, and I might very be holding on to mine for another year. 

Today’s accessories and charging deals:

ecobee 2026 Labor Day deals

While the prices on the individual Smart Thermostats offerings aren’t quite as low Prime Day, deals on ecobee smart home gear are rarely ever all too deep. Basically anytime you can save anything on them, and those times are almost always during these seasonal sale events, it is notable:

Apple’s official Bumper case drops to rock-bottom all-time low at under $13 (68% off)

Update 8/27: the black model Apple iPhone Air Bumper is now back at in-stock down at just $13.42 Prime shipped– that’s 66% off the list price. 

Heads up iPhone Air users, Apple’s official Bumper cases have now hit rock-bottom all-time lows at Amazon from under $13 Prime shipped. 

Amazon is now offering the official Apple iPhone Air Bumper starting at just $12.64 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. 

The Light Blue model at under $13 is now at the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon at a giant 68% off the $39 list price. The other colors are unfortunately up at a higher price and the black has completely sold out – the Light Blue model could be next at a price like this. 

Yes it is just a simple Bumper that runs around the edges and covers of your device, but we are also talking about bargain bin pricing here on an official Apple case. It also allows your device’s design to shine through and makes for a notable bit of protection for folks that really only need a bit – it’s not going to safeguard the display for camera array, just the edges.
