Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest iPad Air 5 for $499.99 shipped. It arrives with several colorways of the Wi-Fi 64GB model on sale, all dropping down from the usual $599 price tag. This is $99 off and marking the first discount in over a month. We didn’t see any savings go live on Amazon’s fall Prime Day sale earlier in the month, either. Today’s discount is all the more notable given the context that new iPads won’t be due out until March of next year. So if you’re not looking to wait another five months, saving $99 now is hard to argue with.
Bringing all of the M1 power to a more affordable form-factor, Apple’s iPad Air 5 is an even better value with some savings attached. It notably features 10.9-inch Retina display, with True Tone, P3 wide color, and an antireflective coating being applied to the canvas.
Apple Pencil 2 support is of course onboard, alongside other stables in the iPadOS lineup like Touch ID in the power button and a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera comes backed by Center Stage support. And before you say that the 64GB of storage is too little for Final Cut Pro, the USB-C support means you can plug in and edit right off an SSD.

If you’re looking for a stylus to pair with your new iPad, we just took a hands-on look at ZAGG’s Pro Stylus 2 and found it to be a great value. It notably features magnetic iPad charging, so it’ll be right at home on the side of your iPad Air 5, while clocking in at a fraction of the cost of Apple’s Pencil 2. Our Tested with Electronicsforward review takes a closer look.
