A couple months have passed since Apple released the iPad Air (M3) and our
position remains the same: It's the best iPad on the market for just about
everyone. Now, it's also a much more accessible option.

A new Amazon sale sees Apple's 11-inch iPad Air with an M3 chip drop to $499
from $599. The 17 percent discount is available on the 128GB model with Wi-Fi
capabilities and no AppleCare+. We gave the new iPad Air (M3) an 89 in our
review, thanks, in part, to that M3 chip. Its single- and multi-core scores
came in 16 percent higher compared to its predecessor when tested with
Geekbench.

The iPad Air M3 also has a much better screen and multitasking abilities this
time around. Plus, it's compatible with a much improved Magic Keyboard. The
add-on is akin to the one you'd get with Apple's iPad Pro M4 while also
dropping by $30 from the previous model. But, it will still cost you $269 for
the 11-inch model and $319 for the 13-inch one.
