Despite sharing the same M5 chip, the Pro now sits far apart from the Air in price. The hike stems from global chip shortages pushing costs up — even Apple can’t dodge that. But here’s the twist: Amazon’s Prime Day is rolling, offering deep discounts — the 13-inch Air for $949 (a $350 saving), and the Pro for $1,549 (a $450 cut). Other Mac products like iMacs and iPads also saw price bumps, with the base iPad now at $449. These deals might not last — Amazon’s prices will likely catch up with Apple’s soon.
