Apple unleashed its all-new M3 iPad Air lineup this morning and we are now tracking elevated trade-in rates and straight up deals for Best Buy members looking to upgrade from the M2 model (or anything else for that matter). Best Buy is now offering as much $650 off the M3 iPad Air starting today when you flip your M2 Air against your pre-order of the new model – providing it is in good condition anyway. The details are below. 

M3 iPad Air pre-order deals

As per usual, and as expected, the value you receive on your M2 iPad Air trade-in at Best buy largely depends on its condition, screen size, and the storage capacity. As long as it’s in good shape, you can score anywhere between $350 and $650 off your new M3 iPad Air. 

Now obviously there are other trade-in options here as well – you can trade in any older iPad you might be looking to flip out, but let’s take a look at the options for the M2 Air as an example for folks looking to trade up for the newer and more powerful chipset. 

Just keep in mind, that on top of the trade-in options, Best Buy Plus and Total members can knock $50 off their order even without trading anything in. 

• Apple M3 11-inch iPad Air from $549 (Reg. $599)
• Apple M3 13-inch iPad Air 128GB $749 (Reg. $799)

Now let’s look at the trade-in values. 

It is as simple as navigating to the 11-inch or 13-inch iPad Air listings, choosing your color and storage tier, and then adding it to the cart. In the cart, before checking out, you can hit the trade-in option you see to begin the process.
