Shoppers looking for a discounted 2026 iPad Air can currently save up to $149 at Amazon and Best Buy, with reductions spread across nearly every configuration of the M4-powered tablet. The discounts apply automatically at checkout and require no coupon code or special membership.

What's on sale

Both the 11-inch and 13-inch models are included in the promotion. Most configurations are $100 off, while the largest savings land on the 13-inch 1TB Wi-Fi model, which is discounted by $149.

The 11-inch M4 iPad Air pricing breaks down as follows:

  • 128GB Wi-Fi — $649.00 ($100 off)
  • 256GB Wi-Fi — $749.00 ($100 off), also matched at Best Buy
  • 256GB Cellular — $899.00 ($100 off), also matched at Best Buy
  • 1TB Cellular — $1,399.00 ($100 off), also matched at Best Buy

For the larger 13-inch M4 iPad Air:

  • 128GB Wi-Fi — $849.00 ($100 off), also matched at Best Buy
  • 256GB Wi-Fi — $949.00 ($100 off), also matched at Best Buy
  • 1TB Wi-Fi — $1,399.99 ($149 off)

These are among the lowest prices seen since Apple raised iPad Air pricing over the summer, making the current markdowns notable for anyone who was holding out for a discount.

What the 2026 iPad Air offers

The latest iPad Air is built around Apple's M4 chip and adds the company's C1X modem alongside the N1 networking chip, which brings support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Those connectivity upgrades are the headline internal changes over the previous generation.

Externally, the 2026 models are unchanged from the 2025 versions. They keep the edge-to-edge display, slim bezels, and aluminum chassis that have defined the iPad Air line, so buyers choosing between generations are largely weighing chip and connectivity improvements rather than a new design.

Why it matters

Apple rarely discounts its own hardware directly, so retailer promotions like these are typically the best route to lower pricing. With savings applied automatically and no membership needed, the deals lower the barrier for buyers who want a current-generation iPad Air without paying full retail.

The spread of discounts across storage tiers and both screen sizes means shoppers can find savings whether they want the more portable 11-inch model or the larger 13-inch version. Buyers wanting maximum storage will see the biggest dollar-for-dollar value on the 13-inch 1TB Wi-Fi configuration, which carries the deepest cut in the current promotion.

As with most retail deals, pricing can change without notice, so availability at these figures is not guaranteed to last through the week.
