Get This Deal

This is the 1TB configuration with 5G cellular, so the $100 savings lands you squarely under the $1699 list price. Keep the numbers straight: the tablet has traded lower before, dipping to $1349 at its all-time low, and the 180-day average sits at $1509.76.

Right now you are paying a premium over that longer-term average, but the price is better than the $1643.67 you would have paid on average over the last 90 days. A modest discount, not a fire sale.

What You're Getting

The 13-inch Liquid Retina display anchors the experience with P3 wide color, True Tone, and ultralow reflectivity. Under the hood sits the Apple M4 chip, which handles multitasking and AI workloads without breaking a sweat.

Storage tops out at 1TB for large app libraries, movies, and creative projects. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi 7 with Apple N1 plus superfast 5G with Apple C1X, so you stay online away from home networks.

Apple Intelligence is baked in, and the all-day battery keeps you working or streaming through a full day. Touch ID and a 12MP front and rear camera round out the package.

Who This Is For

This is the right buy for creative professionals who need the 1TB capacity and want the freedom of always-on cellular without hunting for Wi-Fi. It also suits anyone who wants the biggest iPad Air screen with the M4 chip's performance for photo editing, video work, or heavy note-taking.

If you only need Wi-Fi and can live with a smaller storage tier, you can find a cheaper configuration, so this specific deal is aimed squarely at the maxed-out crowd.

The Caveat

This is not an all-time low. The iPad Air has sold for $1349 in the past, so if you can hold out for a steeper cut, this 6% discount may not be worth pulling the trigger on yet.

Final Verdict

For $1599 you are getting the top-tier 13-inch iPad Air with cellular and full storage, and it costs $48 less than the 90-day average. If you need the 1TB model now. This is a fair price to move on.

If you can wait for a deeper markdown, the record low shows there is more room to fall.
