Fun fact: Until now, Amazon Australia has generally not sold or shipped Apple products directly. While you can usually buy AirPods from third-party resellers on the online marketplace, these are not sourced from or shipped directly from Amazon. That's just changed, as it looks like Amazon Australia now has an official Apple Store on its site, with actual AirPods, all current versions of them. And perhaps even better, they are already on sale! Whether you prefer Apple AirPods (2nd generation) or can stretch your budget for AirPods Pro, there's up to 26% off right now at Amazon, available at the site's new official Apple Store.

Apple AirPods (2019) | 249 AU 188 AU on Amazon (except 61 AU) If you're an Apple fan on a tighter budget, you can forgo the wireless charging case and get the second-generation AirPods in the standard case (which you'll need to charge via a cable Lightning), which still gives you up to 24 hours of additional battery life. There's no laughing at a 24% discount, as other retailers like eBay tend to cut this 'grass' in the same way.
Apple AirPods Pro | AU$399 AU$295 at Amazon (save AU$104) Our favorite AirPods deal at Amazon AU is the AirPods Pro, which are in stock and on sale for $295. That's a very decent 26% reduction for a set. of true wireless headphones with active noise cancellation, while the wireless charging case will allow you to charge for up to 24 hours. Sure, it's possible to find them a little cheaper from time to time on other retailer sites, but this is a solid discount outside of peak seasons like Black Friday.
Why buy Apple AirPods from Amazon Australia?
Whether it's on eBay, Kogan, Dick Smith, or some other "marketplace" style seller, it's often possible to find deals on Apple products. However, it is not always clear if you are getting real Australian shares. It's not uncommon that when you try to register your new "cheap" purchase with Apple, it fails because you may have gotten a gray import or a really good counterfeit. With Amazon, as long as you can see it being sold and shipped by Amazon AU, you're basically guaranteed to get the real deal. Amazon has other "official" brand stores like Canon, Nikon, and Samsung, where you can get the genuine article directly from the companies themselves, through Amazon of course. And if you're a Prime member, shipping is not only free, but you'll get your purchase faster and you can even find exclusive deals on Apple products next Prime Day. With Black Friday in a few months, we expect all of the Apple goodies now available on Amazon to get a decent discount, just like the ones listed above or better. Right now, you can also buy an Apple Watch, iPad, or MacBook from the Apple Store on Amazon, but iPhones aren't listed yet.
