iPad Deals Blowout: M3 iPad Air Hits $449, iPad mini 7 Down to $399, But Which One Should You Buy?

It’s raining iPads and record-low prices today, with Amazon dropping serious deals across Apple’s latest tablet lineup. Whether you’re into power-packed Airs or palm-friendly minis, there’s a price tag here worth tapping.

Let’s break it down, and help you decide where your money’s best spent.

M3 iPad Air: $150 OFF Across the Board

The M3 iPad Air just hit its lowest price ever, starting at $449 (down from $599). That’s $30 cheaper than Prime Day, and every single Wi-Fi model is getting the same juicy $150 off:

11-inch M3 iPad Air (Wi-Fi)

• 128GB: $449 (was $599)
• 256GB: $549 (was $699)
• 512GB: $749 (was $899)
• 1TB: $949 (was $1,099)

13-inch M3 iPad Air (Wi-Fi)

• 128GB: $649 (was $799)
• 256GB: $749 (was $899)
• 512GB: $949 (was $1,099)
• 1TB: $1,149 (was $1,299)

Want the cellular models? Same $150 discount applies.

iPad mini 7: $100 OFF Starting at $399

Meanwhile, the iPad mini 7 (A17 Pro) is quietly making noise of its own. Amazon is offering $100 off, bringing the base model down to $399 only.

• 128GB: $399 (was $499)
• 256GB: $499 (was $599)
• 512GB: $699 (was $799)

mini vs. Air: What’s the Better Deal?

Here’s the kicker: for just $50 more, you can grab the 11-inch M3 iPad Air over the base iPad mini 7. You’re getting a bigger screen, a faster chip, and better multitasking power for not a whole lot more.

If size matters (smaller, that is), the iPad mini 7 is still a great grab. But if you’re leaning power over pocketability, the Air wins this round, and today’s deals make that choice easier than ever.
