For a limited time, Amazon is offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices I've seen so far. The 11" model is now available for just $499, and the 13" model is priced at $699, both after a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've seen for the 2025 model featuring the M3 chip, making them an excellent gift idea for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11.

The 7th generation iPad Air, released in March, is the current model. It's only one year newer than the 6th generation, with the major upgrade being the shift from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers about a 20% performance boost over its predecessor and is only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Other features include the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, the iPad Air supports Apple Intelligence.

Apple iPad Air (2024) Review (older model) by Jacqueline Thomas

"**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people who need a tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. It may not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and the still-powerful M2 processor, it doesn't need to be."

The 2025 iPad is also on sale and it costs $200 less

Amazon has also reduced the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. All four colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity are now available for $299 after a $50 discount. This is the best deal I've seen for the latest generation iPad since its launch earlier this year.
