There are rumors that a new Apple iPad Air will be released this month, and Apple appears to be clearing out inventory of current models to make room. Currently, the iPad Air 5 is $150 off on Amazon, bringing the price of the 2022 model down to $449.

It’s no surprise to Apple fans that we’re giving this iPad Air a thumbs up, or that it’s never been this cheap before. After all, Apple makes high-end tablets for buyers with deep pockets, so discounts of this magnitude are rare. Clearance sale or not, we don’t take gifts seriously.
Apple iPad Air (2022)
For most people, Apple’s cheapest tablet to date is still the best iPad.
The 2022 iPad Air is a slight upgrade over its predecessor, but it’s still hands down the best sub-flagship tablet you can buy. But it’s not without its drawbacks, namely only 64GB of base storage and a 60Hz refresh rate.
iPad Air 5 has the still-powerful M1 processor that delivers laptop-level performance, paired with 8GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It also features a USB-C port for higher data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbitps, increasing your options in terms of external storage and accessories. The front-facing camera has also been improved, now with a wider aperture and higher resolution (12MP), plus a Center Stage feature that automatically keeps the user in the frame for more engaging video calls. If you’re looking for an impressive Apple tablet for under $500, this is your best choice.
