SAVE $100: As of July 21, get the 11-inch Apple iPad Air with M3 chip for $499. That saves you $100 for 17% off.


We're still recovering from Prime Day 2025. Amazon brought four days of big deals, and while the sale officially ended on July 11, we haven't stopped seeking out the lingering deals. During the sale, the 11-inch iPad Air reached its lowest price ever of $479. Post sale it bounced back up to its full-price, but now just a few weeks later, it's already on sale again.

As of July 21, the Apple iPad Air, 11-inch model, is back on sale for $499. That's just $20 short of its lowest price ever, still providing ample savings. If you missed out on the initial savings, you won't want to skip this deal, which provides $100 off for 17% savings.

Apple's iPad Air got a 2025 upgrade as the tablet now comes with the M3 chip, a powerful processor that basically makes this tablet a laptop. The liquid retina display offers a gorgeous backdrop so you can stream with crystal clear resolution, or for creative professionals, it's the perfect canvas for illustration, video-editing, or graphic design. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard to create a full work station on-the-go.

Grab the 11-inch Apple iPad Air for just $499 at Amazon and save $100.
