We just spotted a new Amazon all-time low on the 13-inch 256GB M3 iPad Air at $829 shipped. While only the Blue and Starlight models are marked down this low – the Purple model is out of stock and the Gray is selling for $849, this is a regularly $899 configuration now down at a new Amazon all-time low.
Deals on the M3 iPad Air, much like we saw with the M2 right through until the new model released earlier this year, haven’t been quite as deep as we have seen elsewhere across the latest Apple devices. But again, if it goes anything like the previous M2 model, it likely won’t see giant deals at all, but instead slowly creep down to the $50 and $100 off range through the year until we might see something closer to $120 off like we did on the M2 for the holidays.
The iPad Air is arguably the most universally appealing iPad in the lineup – it’s not nearly as expensive as the M4 iPad Pro and is the only other current-gen Apple tablet that runs on the M series chips. One might suggest the latest iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip that can run Apple Intelligence is a more popular pick-up and that might be true, but if you want to get into the M chips the Air is where it’s at.
The only notable option we can find for less on the 13-inch 256GB model is the Best Buy open-box model at $807.99 in “excellent” condition with a full Apple warranty. This is $91 off the asking price and the best deal we can find from a dealer with this sort of reputation, units in this condition, and with a full warranty – it just depends on whether or not you’re willing to go for an open-box unit over a brand new one for $21 in savings.
Now let’s take a look at the rest of the configurations in the lineup for folks not interested in the 13-inch 256GB and for price comparison reference – alongside the 13-inch 256GB above, we are now tracking new lows on the 11-inch 256GB and 512GB models:
