Get This Deal

For just $885, down from its list price of $1049, you are paying below the 30-day average of $1012.25, the 90-day average of $1032.27, and the 180-day average of $1038.78. The price has not been this low before, so this is not a bounce back to a familiar number.

What You're Getting

• 13-inch Liquid Retina display with P3 wide color, True Tone, and ultralow reflectivity.
• M2 chip for smooth multitasking and graphics-heavy games.
• 256GB of storage plus Wi-Fi 6E and 5G cellular for connectivity anywhere.
• 12MP front and back cameras, Touch ID, and USB-C.
• All-day battery life and support for Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard.

The M2 chip and full Apple Intelligence support mean this tablet runs the current productivity and creative apps without compromise, and the 13-inch screen gives you real room for split-view work.

Who This Is For

Best for anyone who wants a large-screen tablet for drawing, note-taking, streaming, or light work without jumping to iPad Pro pricing. The cellular option makes it a fit for travel and commutes where Wi-Fi is not guaranteed.

If you mostly want a small reading tablet, the 13-inch size is more screen than you need.

Final Verdict

A 13-inch iPad Air with 256GB and 5G at $885 is the best price this configuration has seen, and it undercuts everything in its class on storage and screen size. If you have been waiting on cellular and a bigger display, this is the number to move on.
