Apple Watch Series 12 and AirPods 5 Pre-Orders Begin
Apple's latest wearable and audio hardware is now available for pre-order, with a small early discount on the cellular Apple Watch Series 12.
Apple’s newest lineup of wearables and earbuds has officially entered the pre-order phase on Amazon. The release includes the Apple Watch Series 12, the Apple Watch Ultra 4, and the new AirPods 5. While most items are priced at their standard launch cost, the cellular version of the Series 12 offers a minor early markdown, marking the first price reduction on these new devices.
According to MacRumors, all three product lines are set to launch simultaneously on September 18. The availability of pre-orders allows customers to secure the hardware ahead of the official release date, though shipping schedules may vary. The current pricing reflects Apple’s standard retail rates, with the exception of the specific cellular watch model mentioned below.
Early Savings on Cellular Models
The only immediate discount available in this new batch is for the Apple Watch Series 12 with cellular connectivity. The 42mm version is listed at $489.99, down from the standard $499.00 price tag. While this ten-dollar saving is modest, it represents the first cash discount on the new series. Other variants, including the GPS-only models and the premium Titanium and Ceramic editions, remain at their full launch prices.
AirPods Pricing and Alternatives
The new AirPods 5 are available for pre-order at $129.00 for the standard model and $149.00 for the version with a wireless charging case. There are no pre-order deals on these specific items. For buyers looking to save money, the previous generation AirPods 4 are currently discounted to $99.00 on Amazon, provided the user does not require active noise cancellation features.
Ultra 4 and Launch Timeline
The Apple Watch Ultra 4, positioned as the rugged option in the lineup, is available for pre-order at $799.00 in Black and Natural Titanium finishes. All mentioned devices, including the Series 12 and AirPods 5, are scheduled to arrive on September 18. Customers should note that while pre-orders are open, the actual delivery of these new units will coincide with the official launch day.
