Apple’s 512GB iPad 11 is $170 off at Amazon today, but you can score M4 iPad Air for $80 more

As we approach the Amazon Big Spring Sale we are tracking number of notable deals across both previous and current-generation iPad models. The most affordable of which is Apple’s entry iPad 11 that is now starting from $299. We also just spotted a special Lightning deal at Amazon knocking $170 off the list price for the 512GB model – that’s a seriously deep discount, bit is it worth spending that much on an iPad 11 with the deals we have right now on iPad Air?

Amazon is now offering the 512GB iPad 11-inch down at $479.10 shipped. This model carries a regular price at $649 straight from Apple and is now $170 off.

More realistically speaking, this configuration has far more regularly fetched $599 at retail, but we are still looking at a new Amazon all-time low here. 

This deal is only live on the silver model and only for a limited time until the allotted Lightning deal stock has depleted. 

Okay so, solid price for sure, but here’s the thing: the real value on the iPad 11 for most folks is that you can score one for around $300 on a fairly regular basis. The 512GB model we are featuring here today starts to get up into the same price range as the far more powerful iPad Air and with the deals live on those right now, you might be better off side stepping this 512GB iPad 11 offer in favor of one of those. 

Here are the launch prices on the all-new M4 iPad Air – you’re certainly not going to score one of these for $479 right now, but the prices might be close enough for some folks to pull out an extra $80 and score the latest and greatest Air instead:

Amazon also happens to be clearing out M3 Air cell models right now too – the M3 Air might be a previous-gen machine now, but it is still far more powerful than the iPad 11:
