"2025 Apple iPad Air M3 Chip Hits Record Low Price on Amazon"

By LoganMay 06,2025

For a limited time, Amazon is offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices I've seen so far. The 11" model is down to $499 and the 13" model is down to $699, both after a $100 off instant discount. That's the best price we've seen for this 2025 model with the M3 chip, making it a wonderful gift idea for Mother's Day, which lands on May 11.

The 7th gen iPad Air was released in March and represents the current generation model. It's only one year newer than the 6th gen model, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip is about 20% faster than its predecessor and only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro M4 chip. Beyond that, the iPad Air maintains the same stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. The iPad Air also supports Apple Intelligence.

Apple iPad Air (2024) Review (older model) by Jacqueline Thomas:

"**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people who need their tablet to play games or watch movies, the iPad Air strikes the perfect balance. It may not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and still-powerful M2 processor, it's more than sufficient."

Amazon has also reduced the price of the newest 2025 11th gen Apple iPad (A16) tablet. All four colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - equipped with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi only connectivity are now down to $299 after a $50 price drop. This is the best discount I've seen for the latest generation iPad since its launch earlier this year.
