If you didn't take advantage of Amazon's killer Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal on Apple's 2025-released iPad Air 11 in the hopes that you'd be able to save even more than $150 soon, I'm sorry to inform you that that's unlikely to happen.
What is happening is that the Apple M3 powerhouse is once again marked down by a hefty 150 bucks from a regular starting price of $599... if you know where to look and what to do. Don't worry, scoring Amazon's revived holiday discount is not as complicated as that might sound, as you only need to find the "coupon price" button below the product's already reduced price and tap on it before adding the tablet to your cart.
Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M3, 2025)
$149 off (25%)
128GB Storage, Wi-Fi Only, Apple M3 Processor, Liquid Retina IPS LCD Screen with 2360 x 1640 Pixel Resolution, 12MP Rear-Facing Camera, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, Top-Mounted Fingerprint Scanner, All-Day Battery Life, Landscape Stereo Speakers, Two Microphones, USB Type-C Port, Purple and Starlight Color Options
What's crucial to remember, however, is that the special coupon will not appear for all iPad Air 11 (2025) variants, with the entry-level 128GB storage configuration, for instance, only costing $150 less than usual in purple and starlight colorways at the time of this writing.
If you hurry, you'll obviously receive your 11-inch iPad Air model of choice (well) before Christmas, with the other reason why you may not want to delay your order any further being that the enhanced discount could disappear at any moment and not return until 2026. If (or rather when) that happens, you'll probably still be able to save $100, which is clearly not bad, but also not as cool as spending $150 less than usual on one of the best tablets around.

Naturally, the Apple M3-powered iPad Air is nowhere near as good as the recently released 11 and 13-inch iPad Pros with Apple M5 heat, but the difference in pricing (both typically and right now) is certainly large enough to make a lot of tablet shoppers on a relatively tight budget this holiday season opt for the humbler and cheaper slate.
This is arguably better than pretty much all the best Android tablets in the same price bracket today, primarily in terms of raw speed, but also as far as speaker power, battery life, and perhaps most importantly, long-term software support are concerned.
