Apple's M3 iPad Air Drops to All-Time Low on Amazon

For a limited time, Amazon has slashed prices on the latest 7th-generation Apple iPad Air with the M3 chip to the lowest we've encountered. The 11-inch model is now just $499, while the 13-inch version has been reduced to $699, both reflecting an instant $100 discount. This is the most competitive pricing we've seen for the 2025 model featuring the M3 processor, making it a fantastic Mother's Day gift idea, especially with the holiday falling on May 11.

The seventh-generation iPad Air, released in March, represents the current model. While it's only one year newer than its predecessor, its most significant enhancement is the transition from the M2 to the more powerful M3 chip. The M3 delivers approximately 20% faster performance than the M2 and operates only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Beyond the processor upgrade, the iPad Air retains the same stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular capabilities. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and the Magic Keyboard, effectively transforming it into a hybrid iOS laptop. The device is also compatible with Apple Intelligence.

This represents the most substantial discount we've observed for the latest iPad generation since its debut earlier this year.
