Black Friday pricing is back on the most affordable M2 iPad Air configurations at $100 off

$100 off/From $499

We spotted some notable $100 price drops on the most affordable M2 iPad Air configurations for Black Friday this year and today we are getting another shot at a number of them. Both Amazon and Best Buy are now offering another shot at the 11-inch 128GB model down at $499 shipped in multiple colors. This is the regularly $599 variant, the most affordable model in the lineup, and another shot at scoring one for $100 ahead of the holidays. 

Select colorways at Amazon are starting to slip beyond the Christmas holiday cutoff time, but there are still some landing on time and you can otherwise opt for the Best Buy listings instead. 

As I said in the past, folks who don’t need an ultra-powerful or particularly performant iPad workstation should seriously consider the M2 Air. It is far more powerful than the mini 7 and not all that much more pricey (they are starting at about $40 less right now) and are drastically less expensive than the M4 iPad Pro that starts at $899. There’s some notable bang for your buck on the 2024 M2 Air lineup for those looking to land an Apple tablet experience that’s more than capable of daily tasks, lighter worker loads, video chatting, browsing, and so on. 

While there are some configurations that are now either entirely out of stock (OOS) or back up at full price in select colors, there are several that are also seeing the solid $100 price drops much like the entry-level model featured above:
