Target is now offering a seriously notable deal on the most affordable 13-inch M2 iPad Air at $599 shipped. This was a regularly $799 configuration before the M3 models landed recently and you’re now looking at a straight up $200 price drop to deliver the best price we can find anywhere.
For further comparison, Amazon’s listings for the 128GB M2 Air have largely been out of stock over the last couple months and this model has never sold for more than $150 off there.
Over at Best Buy this portable machine is still sitting at the full $799 with even open-box prices starting at $652 – there are good and fair condition units for less than this but we don’t generally recommend anything other than the “excellent” condition units.
Add all of that with the fact that Apple’s M2 iPad Air lineup rarely ever saw deals deeper than $100 or $150 off, and you’re looking at one of the best prices we have ever tracked on the M2 model. This one debuted last May so we aren’t talking about some ancient piece of tech here and it went through its entire current-generation lifespan at Amazon rarely ever going for more than $100 or $120 off.
While this is very much not the new M3 model, I would argue it might be the best 13-inch M2 series iPad out there right now for most folks with a price like today’s. There’s certainly nothing like, and nothing wrong with, spending the cash on the latest and greatest, but in my experience the difference between these two models is negligible at best with respect to just about all applications your average iPad user is actually running.
A 128GB M3 iPad model carries the same list price as the M2 model did at $799 and it is now on sale at for $729, or $130 more than the M2 model featured above. That said, if you are looking towards the latest M3 lineup you’ll find an updated list of the discounted pricing below:
