A Rapid $100 Reduction? Yes, Please!

Amazon seems to be eyeing Apple’s pricing and deciding to slash those figures across the board, as evidenced by the brand-new iPad Air M3 dropping to its lowest price ever—just one month post-launch.

The iPad Air M3 is now available on Amazon with a $100 discount, bringing its cost down to an unprecedented $499. This reduction applies to all versions and configurations. Although the best deal percentage-wise is on the 11-inch 128GB Wi-Fi model, discounts also extend to the 13-inch model, the 5G-capable versions, and those with greater storage capacity.

If you’re in the market for what we consider one of the top tablets currently available, this is the perfect opportunity to save.

The iPad Air M3 leads the pack in tablets, and with a $100 discount, it’s currently a great buy. It boasts a quick M3 processor, a stunning 11-inch (2360 x 1640) Liquid Retina display, 128GB of storage, and 12MP cameras front and back—all in a chic, lightweight design. This tablet is ready to handle almost anything. Need something a bit larger, with 5G support or additional storage? The same discount applies.

After thorough testing, the iPad Air M3 emerged as our favorite tablet for most users. It delivers everything one might need in a modern, portable device—from its exceptional performance powered by a chip comparable to those in laptops, to its nearly 10-hour battery life.

With the current $100 discount, the value is even more significant. If you were prepared to buy at the original price ($599), you can now upgrade to a model with twice the storage—256GB—for the same price.

Additionally, if more screen space is what you need for browsing, relaxing with the latest series, or gaming, consider the 13-inch iPad Air M3, now reduced to $699.

While the improvements over the iPad Air M2 are subtle, the power of the M3 chip is unmistakable. It features an 8-core CPU, a 9-core GPU, and 8GB of RAM, enabling it to run high-end games like Resident Evil 4 at a smooth and consistent frame rate (though not quite at 60 FPS). Yes, it can handle even the most demanding games available on the App Store.

Apple’s Intelligence enhancements are a bonus, better handled by the M3 chip than its predecessor. Right out of the box, users can enjoy advanced features from a more intuitive Siri to tools that enhance photos, assist with writing, or generate images.

While peripherals such as the new Magic Keyboard are costly (starting at $269 on Amazon), and we wish the battery life were as long as the M2’s—which exceeded 11 hours—the iPad Air M3 pushes the boundaries of what tablets can achieve, especially at such an attractive price.

Significant discounts on several recent Apple products are currently available, including this MacBook Air M4, which has also reached its lowest price to date.
