Apple AirPods Are Already on Sale for Labor Day—And They Could Sell Out Fast

The hill I will truly die on is that no one needs to pay full price for Apple AirPods—ever. Though Apple itself rarely hosts sales, Amazon regularly offers markdowns on the brand’s oh-so-popular tech gadgets around holidays like Labor Day. In fact, AirPods 4 are currently only $99, the same price as they were during Prime Day.Shop AirPods on AmazonApple’s noise-canceling AirPods Pro 3 and over-the-ear AirPods Max are also included in the retailer’s early Labor Day deals. Based on past Amazon sales, I’m not counting on seeing discounts on EarPods with a USB-C connector, but if you’ve got an older phone model with a Lightning connector, you’re in luck.Right about now, you’re probably asking yourself if you should wait until the long weekend (September 5–7) to shop. As someone who has written about more tech sales than they can count, I’m urging you to shop sooner rather than later, because I’ve seen Apple products sell out and then get restocked at full price.Apple AirPods 4Now 23% OffApple AirPods Pro 3Now 20% OffApple AirPods Max 2Now 18% OffCompatible With Older iPhone ModelsApple EarPods with Lightning ConnectorNow 22% OffSarah Maberry is a shopping editor at Hearst Magazines, covering fashion, beauty and pop culture.
