  "account": "Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days have begun, offering shoppers a chance to save on a wide range of products spanning tech, clothing, video games, groceries, and more. The event will last for two days, and major savings can be found across Amazon's storefront. As detailed by MacRumors, an affiliate partner with Amazon, certain markdowns may disappear quickly, so keep an eye on the site for the best deals.\n\nThe most significant discount currently available is for the AirPods Pro 3, which is priced at a record low of $179.00, down from $249.00. This deal is particularly noteworthy, as it's the best price seen for the AirPods Pro 3 since the first Prime Day event in June.\n\nAmazon is also offering substantial discounts on MacBook Air models with Apple's M5 chip. Nearly every M5 MacBook Air model is being marked down by $200, featuring the best prices seen since Apple's recent price hikes. For the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air models, the 16GB/512GB configuration is available for $1,099.00, down from $1,299.00. Similar discounts apply to the 16GB/1TB and 24GB/1TB configurations. For the 15-inch M5 MacBook Air models, the 16GB/512GB and 16GB/1TB options are priced at $1,299.00 and $1,599.00, respectively, both marked down by $200.\n\nOther notable deals include rare discounts on the Apple Watch SE 3 and M4 iPad Air models. The Apple Watch SE 3, which typically retails for $399.99, is now available for $199.00, a $50 discount. Similarly, the Apple Watch Series 12 is being offered at its all-time low prices of $349.99 and $399.99 for the 42mm and 46mm GPS models, respectively. Additionally, the M4 iPad Air is being discounted by $100, with the 11-inch model priced at $649.00 and the 13-inch model at $849.00.",
