We have seen some solid $100 price drops on Apple’s M2 iPad Air lineup recently, but today’s daily deal at Best Buy is ushering in one of the best prices to date on the entry-level 11-inch model. You can now score the 11-inch M2 iPad Air with 128GB of storage down at $469 shipped for today only. Regularly $599, this is a straight up $130 price drop and the lowest price we can find. While we are very much expecting Amazon to price match here at some point today, as of right now its listing on this model is mostly out of stock depending on the color you’re after.
While for some folks the new iPad mini 7 might be a more desirable form-factor, we are talking about a less powerful tablet and one that is nearly as expensive as today’s M2 iPad Air deal. We have seen the 128GB mini 7 drop down as low as $399 a couple times now, but in very limited supply – it is typically closer to the same $469 we are seeing today on the more powerful M2 Air and is now on sale at $449 shipped via Best Buy.
And with Amazon’s stock of the new Air being somewhat limited and unreliable on the more affordable storage tiers as of right now, never mind shipping times starting to slip beyond Christmas Day, the particularly notable deal we are tracking here today might very well be your best chance at guaranteeing yourself one for Christmas Day at a notable price.
Running on the M2 chip, the latest 2024 iPad Air features an 11- or 13-inch Liquid Retina Display with a pair of 12MP cameras, Wi-Fi 6E, Touch ID, and “all-day battery life.” The USB-C port supports a wide range of peripherals, from keyboards and mice to portable SSDs, and this model also works alongside the new Apple Pencil Pro for handwriting and doodling action.
And if you’re looking to secure a new case for your M2 iPad Air, here are some notable options to consider:

- Harber London’s beautiful leather/felt M4 iPad Pro and M2 Air sleeves have arrived
