Best 2026 iPad deal yet? Brand new mid-range 256GB iPad Air hits all-time low at nearly $110 off (All colors)

We catch giant deals from time-to-time on current-gen MacBook models north of $200 off the list, and the latest iPad Pro with hundreds in savings, but Apple’s more affordable gear/configurations naturally land with far more modest discounts. The iPad Air, and more specifically the latest model, is a perfect example of this, and exactly why this mid-range 256GB model at nearly $110 off is such a notable discount. 

This week, Amazon is offering some new all-time low pricing on the new M4 iPad Air lineup. While we were tracking as much as $100 off the most expensive 1TB model, which does not come as a giant surprise, the 256GB with an even steeper discount is to some degree. 

Amazon is currently offering deals on a few of the more affordable storage capacities in the M4 iPad Air lineup, including the least expensive of them all at $80 off, but perhaps none more notable than the 13-inch 256GB in all four colors at nearly $110 off:

Amazon now has Apple’s new 13-inch M4 iPad Air with the 256GB storage capacity down at $789.99 shipped in all four colors. 

As you can see by the updated deal prices across the lineup below, and considering it took nearly an entire year to see the now previous-generation at $200+ off, this particular offer is perhaps the best we have tracked on the new M4 model. 

I would argue the 1TB configurations are overkill for just about anyone willing to spend that much on an iPad – you can get an M5 iPad Pro for that sort of money – and the 128GB configuration should be banished for good at this point. Okay, that last ting is a bit harsh – I, personally, don’t need anymore than that in terms of storage on an iPad, I just think we have moved past the 128GB tier at this point on just about all tech. 

This leaves the 256GB in the sweet spot. Most folks don’t really need all that much storage on an iPad, just enough for some breathing room without having to go through the, sometimes, dreaded process of manually freeing up space in year or so, and the 256GB is a nice middle ground between price and capacity that fits the needs of what I would argue is the bulk of potential iPad customers. 

If you think I’m crazy, I get it – some folks beat the camera roll up good and good on them, I’m just not one of them (on an iPad) and I don’t want to spend any more than I have to on this already pricey tech. If you do or, in the other direction, don’t even need that much, the best deals on the M4 iPad Air lineup await below:
