M3 iPad Air stock is disappearing, but this 1TB model is seeing a deep $250 price drop right now

Deals on the latest M3 iPad Air lineup haven’t been quite as generous in 2026 as we saw nearer the last quarter of 2025 and stock is starting to disappear. That said, we are still looking at prices on a few models that are within $30 of the all-time low as well as a lingering chance to score one of the best Amazon prices ever on this this 13-inch 512GB model at nearly $250 off the list price – this model will sell out or jump back up in price soon by the looks of it. 

Amazon is currently offering $110 and $120 off some of the more affordable models in the lineup, but this 13-inch M3 iPad Air with the 512GB storage capacity and the upgraded cell connectivity happens to be sitting at a particularly notable $999.99 shipped right now. 

You’re looking at a regularly $1,249 config that is now back at the best price we have ever tracked. And this one has only dropped this low once before. It is only live in the gray colorway, but considering how notable of a deal this is, we thought this one needed to be front and center once again. 

As you can see in the list below, stock is starting to run (very) dry on the M3 lineup at retail, but there are still a few configs you can land a solid discount on:
