At $470 off, the iPad Air M2 is easily the best iPad bargain right now

Apple recently adjusted prices for a selection of products, including its latest tablets. While this may have discouraged some users from upgrading, I've got great news for those willing to grab a slightly older iPad, the iPad Air M2.

Right now, this model with a 13-inch screen is on sale at a massive 32% off its original price at Amazon. We're talking about an incredible $470 price cut on the version with 1TB of built-in storage and cellular support, which brings the tablet to just under $980. 

For those who don't need cellular connectivity and 1TB onboard their slate, the 512GB Wi-Fi-only version is also discounted at Amazon, offered for 22% off.

• In case you're an Android fan, the Galaxy Tab S10+ is a great alternative right now, sporting a $200 discount.

The iPad Air M2 may be nowhere near as powerful as the latest Air with an M4 chip, but it's still worth it. In fact, for the average user, the M2 SoC provides plenty of potential. Whether you're gaming or browsing social media, the iPad Air M2 keeps up with your pace at all times.

On top of that, Apple hasn't really changed the design and the display of its Air devices since the iPad Air M2.  This means the newer, more expensive models offer a very familiar experience, with a nearly identical look and screen compared to the 2024 release.

Mind you, Apple has added no OLED panel or ProMotion on its Air devices, and the iPad Air M2 features a Liquid Retina screen and a rather modest 60Hz refresh rate. Despite that, the device features sharp visuals and vivid colors. You can find out more about this tablet and its overall performance in our iPad Air M2 review.

Although the newer iterations may be significantly more powerful, given that they're currently much more expensive, the iPad Air M2 emerges as the ideal choice for iPad fans looking to save. Grab yours and save as much as $470 with Amazon's ongoing offers.
