Apple released a new iPad Pro and iPad Air, among other products and announcements, during its May 7 "Let Loose" event. As is normally the case when newer versions are released, the older ones have gone down in price. Best Buy also happens to be having an Apple Sales Event right now, which includes the 5th generation 64GB iPad Air for $399.99 (originally $599) and the 256GB version for $549.99 (originally $749.99). Best Buy hit these prices earlier this month for just three days, but now they're back to their lowest prices for another round.
This iPad Air is the thinnest—and still one of the best—tablets Apple has to offer right now. This wifi-enabled iPad Air, which PCMag said is "outstanding," was released in 2022. It comes with an M1 system-on-a-chip (SoC), a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, a 12MP front and back camera, as well as Touch ID through the tablet’s power button. It's just a tenth of an inch thinner than the iPad Mini (and matching the 6th generation in thickness) but about twice as heavy as the Mini. Unlike previous iPad Airs, this one offers many of the same features as the 2021 iPad Pro, like the M1 processor and second-generation Apple Pencil support. The iPad Air does fall short compared to the Pro lineup when it comes to the camera, audio, and graphics, but considering it is almost half the price, it may be worth the tradeoff.
