We know that new iPads are coming next week, but in the meantime, Best Buy is clearing out Apple’s latest 10.9-inch iPad Air 5 with a 1-day discount. Right now, you can score the Wi-Fi 64GB model at $399.99 shipped in several colors. This is $199 off the usual $599 going rate and a match of the all-time low for only the second time. The newer iPad Air 6 might get some minor upgrades, but that’s nothing compared to the value of today’s deal.
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.

Today’s offer lands before Apple is expected to refresh much of the iPad lineup this spring. But if getting a better deal is more important than having the absolute latest and greatest, today’s discounts from $400 are hard to ignore. The latest rumors with the iPad Air 6 is slated to include a bigger camera bump, a landscape front-facing camera, and the potential for a mini-LED display. There will likely be the new M3 chip powering the package, but all of that might not be worth the extra cash to you – which is where today’s deal comes into play.
All of this week’s other best deals are now just beginning to go live over in our Apple guide.
