The M4 iPad Air just came out in March, and you can already pick one up at a (small) discount. The 11-inch wifi-enabled 128GB model is currently $519.99, down from $599. The bigger 13-inch model is also discounted, but not as much.

M3 iPad Air owners should not get too excited—there are a few incremental upgrades, but nothing mind-blowing. This newer model has the more powerful M4 chip, which may offer a noticeable efficiency boost over its predecessor. Other upgrades include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and compatibility with the Thread smart home standard. The other specs are the same: 12MP rear and front cameras, USB-C connectivity with Touch ID, 10 hours of video playback, and 128GB of storage for the base model.
What do you think so far?
If you still have the M3 iPad or another recent iPad, it's probably not worth upgrading. However, if you have an older iPad (or none at all), this is a good opportunity to get Apple's latest iPad for the best price you're likely to see for a while.
