The Apple Watch Ultra 3 has also seen a substantial price cut, now selling for $699.99 ahead of Prime Day, down from $799.
In the Mac category, the newly introduced MacBook Neo is attracting attention with discounts across all color options. The 256 GB models are priced at $589.99 at Amazon, a $10 saving, while the 512 GB models with Touch ID are available for $689.99.
