Mitchel Broussard
Mitchel Broussard is a deals editor at MacRumors, overseeing day-to-day coverage of discounts on Apple hardware, accessories, and related technology products. His work centers on identifying specific price drops and limited-time offers from major retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy, with a focus on how savings line up with product launches, price changes, and shopping events.
Apple hardware deals and price shifts
Broussard’s core coverage tracks the changing prices of Apple devices, particularly Macs, iPads, and Apple Watch models. Recent headlines highlight cuts on the M5 MacBook Air, including pieces detailing up to $150 off both 13-inch and 15-inch configurations when retailer pricing moves after Apple’s own adjustments. He regularly reports when Amazon introduces major markdowns on high-end configurations of the 16-inch MacBook Pro, pointing out savings of hundreds of dollars on top-tier chips, expanded RAM, and larger SSDs.
Apple’s desktop line receives similar attention, with articles documenting early and post-launch discounts on new Mac mini and Mac Studio models, often specifying exact configurations and dollar amounts off list prices.
His Apple Watch coverage follows the same pattern, flagging first-wave deals on new models and tracking record lows as they appear. Broussard has written on initial cash discounts for the Apple Watch Ultra 4, calling out specific sale prices against Apple’s standard pricing. He also covers more mainstream wearables, such as Apple Watch SE, focusing on standout offers like limited-time drops to sub-$220 price points at Amazon. Across these articles, he emphasizes concrete price comparisons and “best we’ve seen” language to signal when a deal is meaningfully better than recent history.
Retail sales events and seasonal promotions
A significant strand of Broussard’s work is anchored in retail events, where he aggregates and interprets wide-ranging offers around specific days or seasons. He previews and covers sales tied to Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days and early Prime Day promotions, packaging multiple discounts on accessories, TVs, monitors, and Apple hardware into single, event-focused pieces. These stories typically group savings by product type - Macs, iPads, Apple Watch, power gear - and highlight where readers can find the deepest cuts during the promotional window.
Seasonal shopping cycles also appear frequently in his bylines.
Broussard produces back-to-school roundups that spotlight Apple bargains on MacBook Pro, AirPods, Apple Watch, and accessories, often framed around the best entry points for students and educators at that moment in the year. He has covered retailer-specific campaigns like Best Buy’s back-to-school sale, pointing to notable bundle opportunities and cross-brand discounts that complement Apple devices.
Across these event pieces, timing and context are as important as price: he explains when recent Apple price hikes make older price points unusually attractive or when current promotions are the “last chance” before new, higher MSRPs take hold.
Accessories, peripherals, and power gear
Broussard does not limit his deals coverage to flagship Apple hardware; he devotes sustained attention to the ecosystem of accessories and peripherals that surround those devices.
Recent articles track early discounts on Anker chargers, Samsung monitors, and 4K TVs, positioning them as complementary purchases for new Macs and iPads. He has highlighted sales on power stations from brands such as Anker and Jackery, emphasizing steep percentage cuts during early Prime Day campaigns and similar events.
Mac-specific accessories are another recurring subject.
Broussard has written about promotions on OWC’s Mac accessories, including limited-time offers tailored specifically for MacRumors readers. Smaller items like AirTag 2, AirPods, and other everyday add-ons feature frequently in his roundups, where he calls out notable lows on single products alongside broader accessory deals. This consistent attention to the wider Apple ecosystem shows a focus on practical purchasing decisions, from core devices to the supporting gear that completes a setup.
Guides, roundups, and long-term deals coverage
Beyond individual news posts, Broussard manages a broader framework of guides, roundups, and ongoing deals tracking for MacRumors. His author bio notes that he started as a contributing writer and editor and now oversees day-to-day deals coverage, including writing dedicated articles, maintaining deals guides, updating recurring roundups, and managing affiliate partnerships.
That remit positions him as a central point of continuity for the outlet’s commerce coverage, ensuring that major savings are surfaced quickly while evergreen guides stay current as prices move.
His professional background spans technology and entertainment, with experience writing and editing across breaking technology news, film, television, and video games. That range contributes to a straightforward, descriptive style that focuses on clear product details, precise pricing, and concise context rather than commentary.
Across his portfolio, Broussard’s distinguishing trait is a disciplined focus on price and timing: he tracks how Apple’s product decisions and retailer strategies translate into real discounts, and he converts that data into plain, specific coverage that isolates the strongest offers at any given moment.
