Forget the new iPad Air: the last Gen model is better value

The 2022 iPad on an orange background. .

With a brand new iPad Air just announced, you may think we'd be directing you to buy it. But we've found an Apple bargain on the 256GB version off the previous model (the 2022 M1 Air) that we think is great value – now cut by $100 down from $749 to $649 over at Amazon. Want the entry-level 64GB? There's $100 off that model too – down from $599 to $499 over at Amazon.

Sure the new 6th Gen Air promises M2 power, but as our near-perfect M1 iPad Air review shows, the 5th Gen model is a fantastic iPad, and with $100 off the 256GB storage model, it's the iPad I would recommend right now. It helps that I've actually had my hands on it, and can report that it's my favourite iPad to date. 

If you want a big picture view of the iPads right now, check out our iPad generations guide.
