Apple yesterday announced the Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5 at its "Surprise and Shine" event, and today all of these devices are up for pre-order on Amazon. This also includes the first cash discount on the Apple Watch Series 12.

Apple's "Surprise and Shine" event Wednesday brought the announcement of a new iPhone lineup as expected, plus the first-ever foldable iPhone, but true to the name of the event, Apple had another release ready to go: the AirPods 5.

Amazon is now offering the 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 2TB storage capacity down at $2,699 shipped . Regularly $3,199, this is a straight $500 price drop and the best deal we can find.

With noise cancellation now standard on Apple's base $129 earbuds, the line between "standard" and "Pro" has officially blurred. Here's how the AirPods 5 stack up against the reigning champion AirPods Pro 3.

Beats designed the Studio Pro Premium Wireless Over-Ear Headphones around a Custom Acoustic Platform that has 40mm drivers. The resulting product will run for 40 hours on a battery when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, the battery will last 24 hours. That means you’ll have enough power to cover an entire week’s commute using these headphones.

Apple has indeed injected active noise cancelation features in both of the new base model AirPods 5 releases. You will, however, need to bump up to the more pricey set to score the wireless charging case and the on-stem volume controls found on the AirPods Pro 3.

Apple, Ugg, Dyson, and more big-names are already on sale

Well...Most of the updates to the AirPods 5 are found within. They have the same H2 chip as the old ones but include a brand-new audio architecture, new ports to move air, new drivers, new battery technology, and new algorithms that manage it all.

Apple shrank the stems, tweaked the shape so they stay put during workouts, and Amazon chopped 23% off the price tag.
