Time is seriously starting to dwindle when it comes to landing a sweet Apple gift under the tree for a special someone. We have spent some time to roundup all of the best deals across Apple’s current lineup of gear for folks clamoring to get some Cupertino wrapped up this year, and we wanted to make sure the $100 price drop live on the most affordable M2 iPad Air was on your radar. This model has been mostly out of stock at Amazon for the better part of a week now, but you can still score one down at $499 shipped via Best Buy with shipping in time for the big day – that’s $100 off the regularly $599 price tag in all four colors.
You’ll also find this deal live as part of Target’s last minute sale event as well. Folks who might be a Target Circle Card holder or perhaps landed some store credit/gift cards from one of the many Black Friday deals we featured from the retailer will be able to get an even lower price. Target Circle Card holders can drop the total down to $474.99 shipped.
While we did see a one-day offer over the last couple weeks that had this model down at $469, or $130 off, that deal is long gone now and is very unlikely to appear again before the holiday shipping cut off time.
Another reason we like this deal on this particular model is the inherent value it delivers through the lens of the rest of the current Apple iPad lineup. The M4 iPad Pro is overkill for most folks and far more pricey, the iPad mini 7 is far less powerful, mostly out of stock right now, and nearly as expensive as the M2 iPad Air. The iPad 10 is well, a much older model machine that is likely on its way out of the lineup and can really only be considered for the kids or the most casual of users that don’t care about Apple Intelligence.
I think you see where I’m going here – the M2 iPad Air hits the sweet spot for larger collection of potential Apple iPad customers, and you can still score one at $100 off for the holidays right now.
M2 iPad Air features:
The redesigned 11-inch iPad Air is supercharged by the incredibly fast Apple M2 chip. It features a stunning Liquid Retina display, a new landscape camera perfect for FaceTime and video calls, and superfast Wi-Fi 6E. And it works with the new Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard, so you can multitask, study, work, play, and create from anywhere.
