For a limited time, Amazon is offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices I've seen so far. The 11" model is now available for $499, while the 13" model is priced at $699, both reflecting a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've seen for the 2025 model equipped with the M3 chip, making them an excellent gift choice for Mother's Day, which is on May 11.

The 7th generation iPad Air was released in March and represents the latest model. It's only one year newer than the 6th generation model, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers a performance boost of about 20% over its predecessor and is only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. The iPad Air maintains the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, it supports Apple Intelligence.
Apple iPad Air (2024) Review (older model) by Jacqueline Thomas
"The iPad for the rest of us. For most people needing a tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. While it might not match the premium feel of the iPad Pro, its beautiful display and powerful M2 processor make it more than sufficient."
