SAVE $150: The M3 iPad Air, 13-inch (128GB, WiFi) is on sale at Amazon in the purple colorway for $649.99, down from the usual price of $799.99. That's a 19% discount and a price that matches the record low.


As shopping experts who browse each day for the best deals, there's something espeically satisfying to find a hidden coupon at Amazon. Tucked into the options of colorways, storage sizes, and connectivity options, we stumbled into a lovely iPad coupon that could be excellent if you need an upgrade.

As of Dec. 11, the M3 iPad Air, 13-inch (128GB, WiFi, purple) is on sale for $649.99 at Amazon, marked down from the usual price of $799.99. That's a 19% discount that shaves $150 off the price. Be sure to clip the on-page coupon to score this iPad Air for a record-low price.

As long as you don't totally hate the color purple, this iPad deal will get you an iPad Air for under $650. The M3 iPad Air is one of Mashable's favorite tablets of 2025, earning the honor of the best iPad upgrade. Mashable went with the less expensive 11-inch model, but today's deal applies to the larger 13-inch display. That extra display size will be a nice addition while watching movies, reading e-books, or creating your next masterpiece artwork.

One of the highlight features that earned the M3 iPad Air a place on the Mashable list is the powerful M3 chip allows you to both edit videos and play games. That's not something every tablet can say.

After testing tablets, Mashable also rated this model as a great option for creators. "We also think the Apple iPad Air is the best tablet for creatives and artists," according to the Mashable shopping team who chose the best tablets of 2025. "Content creators can get plenty done on the go with the featherlight and ferocious Apple iPad Air, and it works well as a drawing tablet."

In Mashable's full review of the M3 iPad Air, Senior Editor Stan Schroeder got several days of battery life from the iPad when using it for browsing and reading. It got 14 hours and 46 minutes of battery life when looping TikTok videos at 50% brightness.

While this coupon is still live, get the purple M3 iPad Air, 13-inch (128GB, WiFi) for $649.99 at Amazon. Keep in mind it might not arrive in time for Christmas depending on your delivery address, but who said a late Christmas present isn't just as exciting?
