Amazon this weekend has a pair of solid discounts on the AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2, providing up to $80 off these headphones.

You can get the AirPods 4 for $99.00 (matched at Best Buy), down from $129.00, which is just $10 higher compared to the all-time low price we tracked during Prime Day. This is the base model without Active Noise Cancellation.



The AirPods Pro 2 are on sale for $169.00 (matched at Best Buy), down from $249.00. Compared to previous record low prices, this is just about $20 higher, and one of the best prices we've tracked since that low price was available during Prime Day.



Both models have an estimated August 15 delivery date for most residences in the United States. If you live in a select location, and have a Prime membership, you may have access to free same-day shipping as well.

$99 should be the price for the ANC AirPods 4. I know Tim Apple is upset about having less margins building here in the States but please, Timmy; give us a bone!

Think about the consumers, not only the shareholders.
 
Last time I checked USD wasn't a European currency.
No problem with discounts being limited to the US, especially with Amazon and Apple being US controlled companies and MacRumors also for the most part being a US based/funded team etc etc etc. That’s totally reasonable.

It would just be a nice surprise for non-US readers if, once in a while, noteworthy international Amazon deals (and there are plenty) also got a mention. Including tracking whether a deal matches the all-time lowest Amazon price, like they sometimes do for US deals, would be an added bonus.

Since MacRumors covers part of its operating costs through Amazon deals, highlighting a few international offers wouldn’t hurt - except perhaps by slightly boring US readers.

By jingo, if only this website were read all over the world, rather than just in the insular US, then this might be a thing?

MR should - as has been pointed out repeatedly - post where such "deals" are available, rather than blithely posting nonsense that may make potential purchasers believe such offers are available globally, when in fact, they rarely are.

AMERICA ONLY.

Again.
Yep. It is annoying how US -based but officially international tech forums somehow think it’s only US citizens that are interested in tech.

It’s annoying that Apple has it’s own currency exchange rare that is skewed towards US customers, but it’s far more annoying that the “wider community” follows Apple on thinking that the US user base is somehow more entitled than the international user base.

As much as I'd love non-US readers deals (so long as they are noteworthy) to be listed I suspect it goes along the lines that they have an agreement with Amazon, e.g "Amazon US office: Hey MR please post about this for our sponsoring agreement". But MR probably don't have the people resources to follow up thoroughly the deals in our non-US countries let alone keep track of the all-time lowest prices in different zones.

Very naive.

As an American publication Macrumors has advertising agreements with American retailers. If you haven't noticed it yet this is an ad and they earn a commission for purchases made through their URL as is disclosed at the bottom of every such article. Do you see ads for American retailers like Best Buy on European websites? I didn't think so.

All true. Obviously us non-US readers will still feel a tad left out. But on the whole I'm just happy/grateful coming along on the ride for all the other things that MR and Apple offer us bearing in mind our nations are not the direct instigators.
