Author:Kristen Update:May 14,2025

For a limited time, Amazon is offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices we've seen so far. The 11" model is now available for $499, while the 13" model is down to $699, both after a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices yet for the 2025 model with the M3 chip, making them a fantastic gift idea for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11.

The 7th generation iPad Air was released in March and is the latest model. It's only one year newer than the 6th generation and the primary upgrade is the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers about a 20% performance boost over its predecessor and is only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. Otherwise, the iPad Air retains the stunning 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, effectively turning it into an iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, the iPad Air supports Apple Intelligence.

"The iPad for the rest of us. For most people who need a tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. It may not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and the still-powerful M2 processor, it doesn't need to be."
