The new M2 iPad Air has arrived, but unless you’re planning on buying the 13-inch model, it’s not very different than the M1. And today you can save a bundle on an old one: Amazon is slashing prices of the M1 iPad Air in blue and purple to $399, a savings of $200 and $50 lower than the best price we’d previously tracked.
Even with an older processor, the M1 iPad Air is a fantastic tablet, with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, a super-speedy chip, a 12MP front camera with Center Stage, Apple Pencil 2 support, USB-C, and Touch ID. The new model brings a few upgrades along with the newer chip, most notably a landscape front camera and Wi-Fi 6E, but otherwise, the two tablets are identical. They even have the same size screen despite Apple saying the new model has an 11-inch screen versus the M1 model’s 10.9-inch display.
So if you’ve had your eye on the 11-inch M2 iPad Air, save yourself $200 and grab a 10.9-inch M1 before they’re gone forever. And with the savings you can buy yourself an Apple Pencil 2 for $79 ($50 off) and still have some money for AppleCare+.
