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 and the 13" model for $699, both after a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've seen for this 2025 model with the M3 chip, making them an excellent gift idea for Mother's Day on May 11.

The 7th gen iPad Air was released in March and is the current generation model. It's only one year newer than the 6th gen model, with the main upgrade being the shift from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip is approximately 20% faster than its predecessor and only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro M4 chip. The iPad Air retains 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 an iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, the iPad Air supports Apple Intelligence.
Apple iPad Air (2024) Review (older model) by Jacqueline Thomas
"The iPad for the rest of us. For most people who need their tablet to play games or watch movies, the iPad Air is the sweet spot. It might not be as premium as the iPad Pro, but with its beautiful display and still-powerful M2 processor, it just doesn’t need to be."
The 2025 iPad is also on sale and it costs $200 less
