Apple shoppers get two new devices and a stack of price cuts this week, all priced in euros at Amazon DE. Asterisk count: three, and the biggest is that every figure below is a retailer price, not an Apple one. 1

The iPhone discounts. The vanilla iPhone 17 is €180 off in its 256GB version, at €920, but the 512GB step to €1,240 is steep. The iPhone Air is €400 off, at €900 for 256GB. The 17 Pro is €150 off, from €1,155, and the 17 Pro Max is €190 off at 256GB, at €1,260. The newer iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max mostly sell at list price, with only €70 off the 512GB Pro. 1

The Air is the cheaper phone but has one camera, a smaller 3,149mAh battery and a shorter Active Use Score than the 17 (12:44h versus 14:59h). The iPhone Duo, Apple’s latest launch, has not gone smoothly, so the older models are the easier buy right now. 1

The iPad mini. The new model, due November 6, is the first mini with an OLED screen: 8.5 inches, an A20 Pro chip and 12GB of RAM. It starts at €750 for 128GB. Nano-texture glass costs €130 more and comes only on the 256GB and 512GB versions. The panel still runs at 60Hz. The 2024 mini is €60 to €70 off, from €620, but it is thicker, heavier and has no official water resistance rating, while the new one is rated IP67. 1

The MacBook Pro. The touchscreen model also arrives November 6, with a 120Hz Tandem OLED panel, a Dynamic Island in place of the notch and M5 Pro or M5 Max chips. It weighs 200 to 300g less than non-touch Pros. The 14.2-inch with 24GB and 1TB is €3,300, and the 16.3-inch is €3,900. 1

Our read: The discounts are real but narrow, and the best value is the older gear. The new hardware costs more, and Apple’s OLED push is arriving with a premium attached. Who this is for: iPhone 17 Pro buyers who skipped the 18, and anyone who wants OLED on a tablet and will pay the nano-texture surcharge.
