The New 2025 Apple iPad Air with M3 Chip Is Back Down to the Lowest Price of the Year
Amazon just dropped the price of the Apple iPad Air 11″ M3 128GB tablet to the lowest price of the year. Right now you can pick it up for just $449 after a $150 off discount (normally 599). Higher capacity and LTE models are also on sale. This matches the best deal I saw during Amazon’s Back to School Sale and beats out the previous Amazon Prime Day deal by $50. This is the newest generation iPad Air that was released earlier om <arcj and won’t be replaced until 2026.
The biggest upgrade is the Apple M3 chip, which is about 20% faster than the M2 chip found on the previous generation model. The inclusion of the M3 chip also means that the new iPad Air now supports Apple Intelligence – Apple’s own AI tech – a feature that isn’t available on any earlier model.
The rest of the specs are pretty much identical to its predecessors. The iPad Air boasts an 11″ 2360×1640 (264ppi) Liquid Retina display with P3 Wide Color and True Tone that’s better quality than the screen found on the standard iPad. Storage capacity starts at 128GB but 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB capacities are also available (and they’re all currently discounted). The iPad Air is compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB‑C) and the Magic Keyboard. In fact, the newer model Magic Keyboard that was released earlier this year is specifically catered to the iPad Air.
