Grab an iPad Air M4 for its lowest price since the June increase
The Verge has spotted a discount on Apple's 11-inch iPad Air with the M4 chip, now available for $649 at Amazon and Best Buy, the tablet's lowest price since Apple raised prices in June. The deal offers a rare bit of relief amid generally rising prices for devices with high-end memory or storage, and applies across several configurations of the tablet.
Beyond the base 128GB Wi-Fi model at $649 (down $100 from its post-hike price), the 256GB version is discounted to $749 (usually $849) and the cellular-enabled model to $799 (usually $899). The article also highlights three other current deals: the Garmin InReach Mini 2 satellite communicator for $249.99, an Anker 140W 4-Port Laptop Charger for $55.99, and the Marshall Stanmore III Bluetooth speaker for $199.99, half its usual price.

Apple’s iPad Air is a mid-range tablet, sitting between the basic iPad and the more powerful iPad Pro. The M4 chip is the processor that runs its apps and other features, while storage options determine how much can be kept on the device.
Apple raised prices on the tablet in June, so the usual price now depends on the model and its storage or mobile-data features. Retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy sell the iPad alongside Apple, and their discounts can bring the cost below Apple’s listed price. This matters to shoppers comparing models and deciding when to buy.
