2025 Apple iPad Air M3 Chip Hits Record Low Price on Amazon

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 now available for just $499, and the 13" model is priced at $699, both reflecting a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've seen for the 2025 model equipped with the powerful M3 chip, making them an excellent Mother's Day gift idea, which falls on May 11.

The 7th gen iPad Air was released in March and represents the current generation model. It's just one year newer than the 6th gen model, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers a performance boost of about 20% over its predecessor and is only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Beyond the chip upgrade, the iPad Air retains the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, along with Wi-Fi 6E and 5G cellular connectivity. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, the iPad Air supports Apple Intelligence.

"**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people who need their tablet for gaming or movie-watching, the iPad Air strikes the perfect balance. While it may not match the premium feel of the iPad Pro, its beautiful display and the still-powerful M2 processor make it more than sufficient."
