Today’s the big day! Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro finally land on iPad today, giving your M1 device the ability to take Apple’s professional apps for a spin. Whether you’re looking to upgrade from an incompatible model or just make the switch to iPadOS for another part of your workflow, Apple’s latest iPad Air 5 is worth a closer look. The regularly $599 device comes powered by an M1 chip and is now marked down to an all-time low. Courtesy of Amazon, the Wi-Fi 64GB capacity is now selling for $499.99 shipped across three of the different colorways. That’s $99 off the going rate and marking a return to the best price yet just in time to run the two professional programs that just launched from on iPad from Apple.
Bringing all of the M1 power to a more affordable form-factor, Apple’s iPad Air 5 is an even better value with some savings attached. It notably features 10.9-inch Retina display, with True Tone, P3 wide color, and an antireflective coating being applied to the canvas. Apple Pencil 2 support is of course onboard, alongside other stables in the iPadOS lineup like Touch ID in the power button and a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera comes backed by Center Stage support. And before you say that the 64GB of storage is too little for Final Cut Pro, the USB-C support means you can plug in and edit right off an SSD.

An ongoing discount on Apple Pencil 2 makes today’s lead deal an even better option to consider. Stacking on the $99 in savings above, you’ll be able to bring home the must-have accessory for $102 right now while locking in $27 in cash back. It’s one of the most compelling drawing, writing, and precision input experiences on the market, all while being more affordable than ever before. So if you’re planning on using your new iPadOS device for more than just Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro by getting creative with some digital art or note-taking, it’s worth a look.
