M3 iPad Air deals are starting to sell out, but this 512GB 11-inch M2 Cell model is at the $799 Amazon low ($250 off)

While Apple has unleashed the more powerful M3 iPad Air lineup – we are still tracking $100 price drops on select configurations there, for many the M2 model will still suffice and we are now tracking a big-time price drop on an upgraded configuration via Amazon. You’ll now find the 512GB 11-inch M2 model with the Wi-Fi + Cell upgrade down at $799 shipped – that’s well below the original $1,049 asking price. 

This model debuted at $1,049 and has never sold for any less at Amazon than we are tracking here right now. You’re looking at $250 in savings and an Amazon all-time low. 

For comparison’s sake, an 11-inch 512GB M3 model without the Cell option will run you $899 from Apple and at least $827 at Amazon right now. The Wi-Fi + Cell M3 variant carries the same $1,049 list price as the M2. 

The M2 is not the M3, but for many the difference will be negligible at best. And considering it took this long to see this M2 configuration drop to a price this low at Amazon, you might have to wait until this time next year to see the same on the M3. 

As you can see in the list below, pricing is starting to creep up from the $100 discounts we have been tracking across the M3 lineup, making today’s M2 deal all the more enticing. But if you are looking to go M3, you’ll want to get in quick before we lose all of the $100 drops.
