Apple’s latest iPad Air models—powered by the M4 chip—are now available at their largest discounts since recent price increases, with savings up to $149 at retailers including Amazon and Best Buy. These deals reduce the price of both 11-inch and 13-inch Wi-Fi models with 128 GB to 1 TB storage without any coupon codes or special membership required. The markdowns mainly target the 128 GB and 256 GB variants.
What’s on Sale
The 11-inch M4 iPad Air is now priced at $649 for the 128 GB Wi-Fi version, $100 off its usual price. The 256 GB model is also $100 cheaper, at $749. Meanwhile, the 13-inch model has deeper discounts: 128 GB and 256 GB Wi-Fi versions each receive $100 off, bringing them to $849 and $949 respectively. The top-end 1 TB variant drops by $149.
What You Get with the 2026 M4 iPad Air
These new iPads arrive powered by Apple’s M4 chip, paired with the C1X modem and N1 networking chip. Together, that trio brings support for advanced connectivity features such as Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Though the internals have been upgraded, the external design is carried over from the 2025 models—with edge-to-edge displays, slimmer bezels, and aluminum builds.
These are the best prices we’ve seen since Apple raised its standard retail pricing over the summer—making now perhaps the best time this year to jump on one if you’ve been waiting for a deal. Whether you want portability or a bigger screen with the 13-inch, the savings are widespread. Keep in mind—Wi-Fi models are discounted the most; cellular variants are generally not represented in the deals.
For shoppers looking to stretch their dollars, this week’s deals are worth your attention. But availability on specific colors and storage options may vary—and some reductions floor out once stock dwindles. Also, if you’re eyeing connected models or more exotic configurations, discounts are likely to be more modest. It’s best to check both Amazon and Best Buy, as many prices are matched across both.
Why This Matters.Apple’s summer uptick in prices eroded much of the value proposition for entry-level iPad Air buyers. These newly applied discounts bring key configurations back into more affordable territory—especially for those prioritizing storage or screen size. The upgrades in wireless tech (Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6) reveal where Apple is pushing for future connectivity benchmarks; saves on current generation models could buffer the cost of any upcoming hardware refresh. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to buy, this looks like it.
