Starting with the AirPods deals, Verizon has both models of the AirPods 3 on sale. You can get the AirPods 3 with Lightning Charging Case for $149.99, down from $169.99; and the AirPods 3 with MagSafe Charging Case for $159.00, down from $179.00. Verizon has remained one of the only retailers to have consistent deals on the AirPods 3 in 2023.
Amazon has the MagSafe Battery Pack for $84.00, down from $99.00. This device was cheaper last holiday season, but today's price is one of the best deals we've tracked so far in 2023 and is an overall solid second-best price.
Amazon also has the MagSafe Charger at $31.00, down from $39.00, which is another second-best price. All-time low prices on these MagSafe devices have been somewhat rare over the past few months, so anyone in the market for Apple's first-party MagSafe accessories should consider these deals because they're the best around online right now.
Moving to the AirTag, Amazon has the 4-Pack for $89.00, down from $99.00. Delivery is available as soon as May 24 for Amazon Prime members, and this deal is a second-best price on the Bluetooth tracker accessory.
