Labor Day: iPad Air (M3) — $150 Off

Apple’s iPad Air (M3) is currently discounted by $150 on Amazon: the 11-inch model starts at $449 and the 13-inch model at $649. These prices represent a record low for the M3 iPad Air and make it an excellent value for most buyers.

Why it’s a good buy

• M3 chip: Around a ~16% performance boost over the M2 iPad Air, making the tablet feel snappier and more future-proof.
• Better display & speakers: Improved over the entry-level iPad, and wider accessory support (Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard equivalents).
• 13-inch option: Great for artists and users seeking a laptop-like experience.

Trade-offs

• No 120Hz ProMotion OLED like the iPad Pro — refresh rate remains a disadvantage versus Pro models.
• No Face ID — still uses Touch ID (on power button) depending on configuration.

Bottom line

If you want a powerful, well-rounded iPad without the premium price of the Pro, the iPad Air (M3) at these discounted prices is a solid pick — especially if you value performance and a larger display option.
