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

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 now available for just $499, and the 13" model is down to $699, both after a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've seen for the 2025 model equipped with the M3 chip, making them an excellent gift choice for Mother's Day on May 11.

The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, represents the current model. It's only one year newer than the 6th generation, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers about a 20% performance increase over its predecessor and is roughly 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. The iPad Air retains the 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, allowing it to function as an iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, it 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 a tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. It may not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and still-powerful M2 processor, it doesn't need to be."
