Apple’s most affordable blue M3 iPad Air Cell model hits Amazon low at nearly $170 off today

Amazon is now offering its best price to date on the most affordable 13-inch M3 iPad Air cell model in blue today at nearly $170 off the list price – this deal is also live on the purple variant. 

You’ll now find Apple’s latest 128GB 13-inch M3 iPad Air with the Wi-Fi + Cell upgrade down at $779.97 shipped in blue or purple. Regularly $949, that’s $169 off the list and a new Amazon low on the blue variant.

There was a few chances on the purple model for about $10 less back in September, and a much lower price for a few hours around that time, but very few folks would have had a shot at that offer. 

The expected $150 price drops across the base 11- and 13-inch M3 iPad Air models were alive and well for Black Friday this year – just about all major retailers had them at $150 off for the November shopping season – however we did not see this cell config down this low a few weeks ago.

Shortly thereafter, a Target deal landed with $200 price drops up for grabs on the most affordable M3 configurations, though stock was quite limited especially if you didn’t want to go pick it up in-store. Today’s deal isn’t quite as deep as those offers, but Target did not offer the Wi-Fi + Cell models anyway.
