It didn’t take long. The M4 iPad Air just came out today, and you can already pick it up at a (small) discount. The Wi-Fi 128GB version of the new iPad Air is currently available. $749Down from $799. While $50 or $800 isn’t a huge discount, the fact that Amazon is slashing the price of Apple’s latest flagship iPad is. On the day of his release is unusual. The price cut applies to the larger 13-inch model, while the smaller 11-inch model iPad Air. $559$40 off the $599 list price and matched by Walmart’s pre-order deal.

Owners of the M3 iPad Air shouldn’t get too excited — there’s nothing noteworthy here, other than the presence of a more powerful M4 chip, which can deliver a notable performance boost over its predecessor. This is likely due to having a more efficient core than the M3 Air. However, the biggest difference is the extra 4GB of RAM (12GB total). This means you can multitask for longer with multiple tabs and apps running.
According to Apple, this new iPad should be up to 30 percent faster than the previous generation, though we won’t know for sure until reviewers test it. Other upgrades include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and compatibility with the Thread smart home standard. Other specs are the same: 12MP rear and front cameras, USB-C connectivity with Touch ID, 10 hours of video playback, and 128GB of storage for the base model.
What do you think so far?
If you still have an M3 iPad or another recent iPad, it’s probably not worth upgrading. However, if you have an older iPad (or none at all), this is a good chance to get Apple’s latest iPad at the best price you’ll see in a while.
