Apple’s iPad lineup has a number of different options starting with the small but powerful iPad Mini and all the way through to the exceptionally capable laptop replacement that is the M4 iPad Pro. The latest 2024 M2 iPad Air sits just below that tablet and sports a fast chip of its own. It’s also available in two different screen sizes with prices starting at $599 for the smaller of the two. But there are ways to get your iPad Air for less and we found all the best discounts so you don’t pay a penny more than you have to.

The M2 iPad Air is available as an all-new 13-inch model alongside the 11-inch variant. For the majority of people, it’s a viable alternative to the more expensive iPad Pro, especially when you can find one at a discount. The new iPad Air has plenty to get buyers excited about, including a speedy chip and a gorgeous display.

These iPad Airs sport the older Liquid Retina technology, rather than the mini-LED of previous Pros or the tandem OLED of the newest M4 iPad Pro, but they’re still nothing to sneeze at.

How much does the iPad Air cost?

The 11-inch model of Apple’s newest iPad Air features landscape speakers with spatial audio for an immersive listening experience, and the 13-inch model provides extra bass to boost the audio impact. These tablets may be rocking the slightly older M2 chip, but they still promise to pack a punch. The baseline 11-inch model with 128GB of storage is available for just $599, or you can upgrade to the 256GB model for $100 more. 512GB and 1TB models are also available for $899 and $1,099, respectively.

The iPad Air isn’t the only new option in town. If you’re looking for an Apple tablet that’s a little more cutting-edge and robust, the newest iPad Pro might be the right fit for you. These new Pro models promise to impress, with upgrades to the FaceTime camera placement and a thinner redesign that makes for a more portable device. If you elect for the Pro over the Air, you’ll breeze right past the M3 chip, as Apple has loaded the latest iPad Pro with the powerful M4 chip, bringing the potency to handle its brand-new Ultra Retina XDR OLED displays (blasting out 1,600 nits of brightness in HDR) and much more. These upgrades come at a price, with the base model starting at $999. You can order the iPad Pro right now.

We also anticipate that we’ll start seeing plenty of iPad deals on older models soon, which may be a better option for budget-conscious buyers who don’t mind a previous-gen model. 

Ready to invest in a new iPad Air? We’ve got the skinny on how to nab the ultrathin iPads and accessories. You can preorder from Apple right now, and we’ll update this page as new offers become available at other retailers, so keep checking back.

Save $45

Walmart is currently offering a relatively modest $45 discount on some configurations of the new iPad Air, but it’s better than nothing. It might drop further in the coming weeks.

Save $30 plus your local tax

There is currently a $30 discount available on some colors of the iPad Air via B&H and there is another way to save too. If you use the B&H Payboo credit card for your purchase, you’ll get the tax back as a cash refund. That could be a pretty decent chunk of change, depending on where you live.
