Sales on Apple devices are difficult to come by, especially when it comes to the company's newest models. A big part of this is the new M2 chip that is lightning fast but naturally quite pricey. Thankfully, the best tablet from Apple yet -- the iPad Air -- has been receiving some welcome discounts over the last month with the latest taking off almost $100. A combination of an Amazon direct price cut and an on-page coupon has reduced the cost to $500. Â
Focusing on the 128GB deal, the iPad Air 11-inch is down by $98 on average with starlight, space gray, purple and blue colors available. The 512GB storage size then has the same $98 discount attached for the same colors, equaling a $800 price tag. This is only 10 dollars away from the cheapest price we've seen.
In his review, CNET's Scott Stein found that the new model added "a bit more bang for your extra buck."
"The base model has double the storage at 128GB; a more capable processor; and it works with Apple's new Pencil Pro, an improved stylus with extra features of its own that will appeal to artists and creatives," he added.
