Amazon today has the 256GB Wi-Fi iPad Air (Silver) from 2019 for $549.99, down from an original price of $649.00. This $99 discount is a match of the previous low price seen on this model of the iPad Air, and Best Buy is offering the same discount.

While the tablet isn't in stock currently, you can place your order today and lock in the savings ahead of the estimated shipping date. iPad Air discounts haven't been frequent this summer, so it's worth the wait for anyone who's been shopping for the 10.5-inch tablet.



Apple in March 2019 launched the new 10.5-inch iPad Air that serves as a middle-tier iPad option between the lower-end iPad and the higher-end iPad Pro models. You can head to our full Best Deals guide for iPad for even more iPad discounts.

The iPad Air should receive a price drop or a bump in base storage once the 10.8" iPad arrives.

But until the Air gets updated next year, it still offers a better Pencil experience along with having a much better front camera.
 
I saw an iPad Pro 12' (but the previous gen and 64GB) at $669 at B&H this morning, Sign for something?
 
That’s the exact model I have, and it’s great. But it’s also almost a year and a half old. I’d be wary of buying one right now.
Can I please ask why?

Does it have trouble running the new OS? In terms of battery drain? Why do you recommend waiting?

I’m still on the air 2 and need a upgrade fairly soon. I hope the air 4 has a headphone jack.
