Now even lower: Giant $400 price drop hits this 1TB M3 iPad Air today
We did catch the return of all-time low pricing this week on some of the more affordable M4 iPad Air models Apple released a couple months back. But stock is starting to run low on the perfectly capable M3 iPad Air clearance deals, and Amazon just dropped the prices again on select models – this 11-inch M3 iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cell 1TB is a giant $400 off the list price, for example.
There are a few notable M3 iPad Air clearance deals still popping and we wanted to get them front and center before stock has completely depleted and now that pricing has dropped even lower on some of them:
11-inch M3 iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cell 512GB $749 (Reg. $1,049) – new Amazon all-time low
(Reg. $1,049) – new Amazon all-time low 11-inch M3 iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cell 1TB $849 (Reg. $1,249) – new Amazon all-time low
(Reg. $1,249) – new Amazon all-time low 13-inch M3 iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cell 1TB $1,149 (Reg. $1,449) – new Amazon all-time low
All three of those offers are very notable, but that 11-inch Wi-Fi + Cell 1TB is of particular interest. We are talking about an originally $1,249 configuration at $849 shipped here. That’s $400 off the original list and the best deal we have ever tracked at Amazon.
The new 11-inch M4 iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cell with the 1TB storage capacity carries the same $1,249 list price the M3 did and is currently on sale for $1,169 at Amazon. That’s $80 off and the lowest price we have tracked at Amazon to date.
The new M4 model certainly has some upgrades, but I think for most folks the M3 is just as capable in terms of day-to-day use, and these fleeting clearance deals are a great way to secure an upgraded machine for dramatically less cash.
