Most affordable M3 iPad Air cell models back to Amazon lows at $150 off today ahead of next-gen release

Amazon has now replenished much of its cellular M3 iPad Air stock and, as of this morning, is now offering solid $150 price drops across several configurations. The most affordable 11-inch Wi-Fi + Cell model has now dropped back to its Amazon all-time low pricing as of this morning at $150 off the list price alongside a number of others – you can check all of the 11-inch models on sale right here and all of the 13-inch variants right here.  

M3 iPad Air 11-inch

M3 iPad Air 13-inch

Just remember, this this particular Gray 1TB model is still seeing a deep $250 price drop right now at Amazon.

The deals are landing this morning after what has been a largely slow start to 2026 for M3 iPad Air discounts. There have been a few models with notable offers, including a couple random one-off configurations for a short time, but with the expected launch of the next-generation models next week, Amazon is looking to clear out some stock. 

As we have been reporting over at 9to5Mac, Apple’s (not quite) spring launch schedule starts tomorrow, and we are very much expecting to see the next-generation base model iPad and the new iPad Air lineup. The latter of which is rumored to be landing with the M4 chip and potentially Apple’s N1 wireless chip/C1X for cell models, but not much else is expected to be all too different from the current-gen:

…Those possibilities aside, expect the same 11-inch and 13-inch size options, Touch ID, and overall very similar feature set to what the current model offers.

We will, of course, be delivering the best trade-in options and any potential deals on the new lineup as soon as possible, but the chances of seeing any of them with straight $150 price drops next week is extremely unlikely (not going to happen for sure). The M3 iPad Air debuted roughly a year ago this month, and the best we have tracked on the most sought-after storage config options has, for the most part, maxed out at the same $150 off we have here today. Again, there have been a few one-off deals on some of the more upgraded configs with very limited color options for less, but $150 off is about as good as it has gotten on the more accessible options.
