Apple’s 512GB iPad (A16) just hit one of its best prices ever at $155 off, but you can score M3 iPad Air for less

$155 off/$494

While most eyeing Apple’s most affordable current-generation iPad are also likely eyeing the most affordable storage configuration too – you can land one of those on Amazon in all four colors down at $299 shipped ($50 off the Apple list price). That’s some seriously notable value for a current-gen iPad for casual users, but Woot is now offering the best price we have tracked on the 512GB model at $155 off using code APPLEFIVE at checkout. But maybe you should just grab an M3 iPad Air for less? Details below. 

Alongside the M3 iPad Air deal we featured this morning, Woot also has the blue 11-inch iPad A16 with the 512GB storage upgrade down at $494 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. Be sure to use code APPLEFIVE at checkout. 

This model is currently on sale for $599 at Amazon right now, or $50 off the regular $649 list price. You will get the full 1-year Apple warranty taking that route as opposed to the 90-day Woot warranty with our featured deal above, but it’s also a much higher price tag. 

Apple unleashed its new base model iPad earlier this year to supersede the aging iPad 10. This time we are getting a slightly larger display and a machine running on the A16 chip. It’s certainly no M series iPad, and it doesn’t support Apple intelligence, but for casual users the iPad A16 delivers a ton of value and I don’t think anyone uses Apple Intelligence anyway, do they?

All of that said, the real value for most in the base model you can land right now for $299 shipped. The 512GB upgraded variant is a far more niche proposition. You can land an entirely more capable 11-inch M3 iPad Air for less than $494. You can’t get the 512GB Air for less, but I would recommend to just about anyone looking towards an upgraded iPad A16 to look even longer at the deals we have on the M3 Air instead:
