AirPods 5 from ฿4,790, Watch Series 12 from ฿14,900

Short answer: Alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, Apple is now selling the AirPods 5 (from ฿4,790, with noise cancellation on every model for the first time) and the Watch Series 12 (from ฿14,900) with the Watch Ultra 4 (from ฿29,900) — no price hikes over the previous generation. Still on old AirPods or an old Watch? Now is when the market still pays well, before a wave of second-hand units arrives.

AirPods 5 — what's new and how much?

Two AirPods 5 variants at official Thai prices:

The headline change is Active Noise Cancellation on both models — a first for standard AirPods — rated about 1.5x stronger than the ANC AirPods 4, plus Live Translation over Apple Intelligence, the H2 chip, and 4–5 hours of listening per charge depending on model.

New Apple Watch prices?

Official Thai prices (on sale September 18, 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro):

All three hold last year's prices to the baht despite the upgrades — headlined by the S11 chip and a new health-sensing stack that samples heart rate far more often. The Ultra 4 stretches battery to 50 hours with up to 45 hours of continuous workout tracking.

On the old models — why check prices now?

1. New AirPods 4 units sit at ฿4,590 — just ฿200 under the new model. When old and new differ by pocket change at retail, second-hand buyers negotiate harder, since a little extra buys new hardware with ANC. Holding AirPods 3/4 or an older Pro? The longer you wait, the deeper the squeeze.

2. Old Watches just lost watchOS 27. Series 6/7/8 don't make the watchOS 27 cut, and every year's pattern says watches dropped from updates fall faster than ones still supported. On an Ultra 1/2 or Series 9/10 and thinking of a 12 or Ultra 4? Your old watch is worth the most right now.

3. Watches and earbuds don't fade weekly like iPhones — they drop in one wave. Used Watch and AirPods prices don't bleed weekly the way iPhones do around launch; they fall in a lump when everyone sells at once — which is right now, two weeks after the new models went on sale.

Selling an old Watch or AirPods — what to prepare?

1. Unpair and wipe. A Watch must be unpaired from its iPhone before sale; remove AirPods from your Apple ID so the next owner can activate them
2. Keep bands and the charging case. A Watch with complete bands and charger fetches more than a bare case
3. Check battery and every function. The Digital Crown, speaker, and mic all need to work
4. Check the price before visiting a shop. Get a quote in 30 seconds — pick the Watch or AirPods category, enter model and condition — then compare against carrier trade-in before deciding
