Apple’s new M3 iPad Air configurations have now dropped even lower starting from $557 via Amazon (Up to $70 off)

While there are still some notable trade-in offers for folks looking to upgrade to Apple’s new M3-equipped iPad Air (you can get up to $650 off with an M2 trade), Amazon is now offering the first straight cash deals and the most affordable 13-inch model just dropped even lower. The 11-inch models are starting from $557, but the larger 13-inch variants are now starting at new all-time lows from $747 shipped. Details below. 

While it would appear the new iPad (A16) has garnered more attention around here for folks looking to land a simple, affordable, and casual Apple experience, the Air can deliver some serious value for folks that need a more capable machine, support for Apple Intelligence, and more, all without paying anywhere near M4 iPad Pro money. 

Amazon is now offering between $40 and $70 off across just about every configuration of the new M3, which are the lowest cash deals we have seen to date outside of those for folks with some older gear to trade in against the new models.

These aren’t massive price drops or anything, but considering they are brand new releases that just hit the market last week all at the best price we have tracked to date without requiring a trade-in, anyone looking to get in on the new M3 Air tablet will want to take a look at the Amazon deals right now.
