The New 2025 Apple iPad Air with M3 Chip Drops to an All-Time Low on Amazon
Lightweight, powerful, and discounted for Mother's Day.


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 down to $499 and the 13" model is down to $699, both after a $100 off instant discount. That's the best price we've seen for this 2025 model with the M3 chip and a wonderful gift idea for Mother's Day, which lands on May 11.
New 2025 Apple iPad Air M3 Tablet From $499
The 7th gen iPad Pro Air was released in March and is the current generation model. It's only one year newer than the 6th gen model and the only major upgrade is the jump from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip is about 20% faster than its precedessor and only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro M4 chip. Other than that, the iPad Air carries over the same gorgeous 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 to turn it into an iOS hybrid laptop. The iPad Air also supports Apple Intelligence.
The 2025 iPad is also on sale and it costs $200 less
Amazon has also dropped the price of the newest 2025 11th gen Apple iPad (A16) tablet. All four colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - equipped with 128GB of RAM and Wi-Fi only connectivity are down to $299 after a $50 price drop. This is the best discount I've seen for the latest generation iPad since its launch earlier this year.
