Even at its full $599 retail price, the iPad Air is easy to recommend over the 10th-gen iPad for a variety of reasons. But today it’s impossible not to recommend since it’s the same price as its cheaper sibling: Amazon is selling the 64GB iPad Air in every color for $450, a savings of $150 and the best price we’ve ever seen for the 64GB model, which is usually on sale for $499.
The iPad Air has a 10-.9-inch Liquid Retina display and is ready for anything with an M1 chip, a 12MP front camera with Center Stage, Apple Pencil 2 support, USB-C, and Touch ID. Its gorgeous all-screen design isn’t expected to change and we don’t think there will be all that much to worry about missing out on other than a faster chip and better cameras.
Even without an update in nearly two years, we think the iPad Air is one of the best tablets ever made and perfect for just about any task. In our 4.5-star review, we called the iPad Air “a Pro in all but name” and praised its design and performance. And at this price, it’s a better bargain than Apple’s 10th-gen iPad—so go grab one before the price jumps back up.
