Update: Frustratingly, Amazon has already ended this iPad Air 13-inch (M2) deal and bumped the price up by $35. However, the smaller iPad Air 11-inch (M2) tablet is also on sale right now. It was $20 cheaper over Prime Day, but this is the next best deal for one of Apple's latest tablets.

The latest iPad Air is powered by the M2 chip for up to 50% faster performance compared to the M1 and you can now save $50 on the base model at Amazon. Of course, it's not a big discount, given that the tablet just launched, but it's a saving nonetheless and has only been beaten once before by $20 during Prime Day.

Looking for an even cheaper but still capable everyday tablet? Apple recently slashed the recommended starting price of the iPad 10.9 to $349 earlier this month, but Amazon has now dropped it even further to a new record low. It's great value for money at this price if you need an all-around tablet. We said Apple's latest base-level tablet is a big upgrade over the previous generation model in our iPad 10.9 review, with a larger Liquid Retina display, a new A14 Bionic chip, improved cameras, USB-C support, and a sleek design.

Original story: Remember how Amazon Prime Day was going to offer the lowest prices for many products? Instead, we’ve just seen the Apple iPad Air 13-inch (M2) hit its best price yet only weeks after the big event. Currently, you can buy the Apple iPad Air 13-inch (M2) for $699.99 (was $799) at Amazon which is a fantastic price for the latest model. 

A record low price for one of the best iPads out there, the Apple iPad Air (M2) is powerful enough to conduct video editing on the move, play some impressive console quality games like Resident Evil Village, or just enjoy a delightful experience as you browse online.

As mentioned, the Apple iPad Air 13-inch (M2) has never gone this low before. Previously, it’s dipped to around $730 which is a far cry from this big a price cut.

Today’s best Apple iPad Air (M2) deal

The iPad Air is versatile with its Liquid Retina screen that looks stunning for all content. It has P3 wide color support along with True Tone and ultralow reflectivity so it's great even in bright sunlight. The M2 chipset is one you’ll see in many Apple laptops so it certainly packs a punch while other extras like good cameras and support for the Apple Pencil Pro all mean you won't lack for all the other essential tablet features. 

In our Apple iPad Air 13-inch (M2) review, we described it as “bigger, faster, and the best bet” for anyone seeking a larger tablet. It’s highly portable and well suited for artists thanks to its Apple Pencil Pro support, while using a Magic Keyboard turns it into a form of laptop that's powerful enough to more than cover most applications.

Annoyingly, there’s no wireless charging and the cameras haven’t been upgraded compared to the previous iPad Air, but these minor things don’t stop it from being one of the best tablets for most needs.

If you’re already part of the Apple ecosystem, you’ll appreciate how easy it is to use iPadOS while it blends seamlessly in with other devices like your MacBook or iPhone. 

As always, there are other tablet deals currently available if you’d prefer something cheaper. Alternatively, you could seek out a different iPad deal but we’re fairly confident that the iPad Air (M2) will delight anyone who’s able to stretch their budget to it.
