Granted, that’s still a steep asking price, and this isn’t the latest iPad Air model. But hey—we haven’t seen a jaw-dropping $400 price cut on this model before, so it’s a promo you might want to check out. Just a note: this incredible discount only applies to the Purple variant.If you’re OK with getting less storage but still have cellular support on your iPad Air M2, consider the 128GB variant. The base storage configuration in Space Gray is going for $150 off its original asking price of ~$750 right now, landing it just under the $600 mark.
Although we’ve got a newer iPad Air M3, the 2024-released tablet still packs a punch. Its M2 processor is solid enough to breeze through heavy multitasking and demanding apps without any hiccups. That’s right—performance is spot-on here. Interested in benchmarks? Check out our iPad Air M2 review to see how this bad boy performs.
What about display quality? Well, Apple reserves the so-called ProMotion displays for its iPad Pro line, so you don’t get an ultra-smooth 120Hz touchscreen here. Still, the iPad Air M2’s 11-inch Liquid Retina screen offers crisp resolution and beautiful visuals despite the rather modest 60Hz refresh rate.
For creatives, the Cupertino-based tech giant equipped its M2-powered iPad Air with Pencil Pro support. Offering haptic feedback and other extras, the Pencil Pro makes sketching, illustrating, and editing feel more tactile and intuitive. Sure, not every user needs this feature, but it’s nice to have it. Just know you’ll need to purchase the stylus separately.
At the end of the day, the iPad Air M2 remains one of the best iPads on the market. And with this generous $400 price cut on the ultra-buffed-up 1TB variant with cellular support, it’s all the more exciting.
