M3 iPad Air

We're tracking record low prices across the entire M3 iPad Air lineup for Black Friday, with discounts available at both Amazon and Best Buy. This sale includes savings on both Wi-Fi and cellular models of the tablet, and it's been a few weeks since we last saw these all-time low prices.

Prices start at $449.00 for the 128GB Wi-Fi 11-inch M3 iPad Air, down from $599.00. Across the board these are all $150 discounts on the M3 iPad Air, and each one is a match for the best-ever price seen on these tablets.




Our list below focuses on Wi-Fi models, but you'll also find many cellular models on sale at $150 off right now. The 128GB cellular 11-inch iPad Air is available for $599.00 and the 128GB cellular 13-inch iPad Air is available for $799.00, both representing record low prices.

Amazon and Best Buy recently opened up big discounts across the M5 iPad Pro lineup, offering as much as $169 off select tablets. Prices now start at $924.00 for the 256GB Wi-Fi 11-inch M5 iPad Pro at Amazon, down from $999.00. This specific tablet has been slowly dropping in price all month, and Amazon's sale today is now the best-ever price.




For the larger models, you can save up to $169 on the 13-inch M5 iPad Pro on Amazon this week. If you're shopping for the 2TB Nano-Texture Glass Wi-Fi model, Amazon has this tablet for $2,230.00, down from $2,399.00, as well as a few other 13-inch models between $50 and $137 off.

At least for the M3 ipad Air, Target is also doing $150 off retail through Saturday. Plus another 5% for Target RedCard holders.

waittttt for black friday? why jump on a weak deal now if you have been waiting all this time. hold strong!!!

At this point everything's returnable, so IMHO it doesn't hurt to grab a deal and leave it unopened for a week.

Then if a better deal makes it worth the swap, do so.

That probably is the deal you're getting. A lot of places like Best Buy and Amazon are doing Black Friday weeks instead of a specific day, and prices on Apple products are rarely subject to insane doorbusters unless it's clearing out old inventory.
 
I swear you post that photo of the iPad with the god awful robot thing just to annoy me. There are many other stock photos for that model, yet you consistently choose that one. There's no way it's not deliberate at this point.

MR: “Amazon this week is taking $69 off Wi-Fi models of Apple's 11th generation iPad. Prices start at $279.99 for the 128GB Wi-Fi iPad, down from $349.00, a second-best price on this model.”​
OK, I’ll bite! What *is* or *was* the *BEST* price on the iPad A16, 11th generation??

The $349 certainly wasn't THE 2nd best as Amazon & Best Buy both had it for $299 a few days ago and BB's price is still that!
