The best Amazon Big Spring Sale Apple iPad deals:
Amazon is running its Big Spring Sale through March 31. This seasonal event typically ushers in discounts on all sorts of items, giving you an early-year treat before the major sales get going later in the year (like Prime Day). That even includes Apple products, a lot of which have fallen to record-low prices this week.
If you’ve been eyeing an iPad, we've spotted discounts of up to $290 across Apple's tablet lineup. The just-updated M4 iPad Air has a small price cut, while its M3 predecessor is up to $200 off if you opt for a model with cellular connectivity. Some of the latter's configurations are starting to sell out, so don't wait too long to add one to your cart. (That includes the 128GB base model, which went on sale for $550 earlier this week.)
Below, we've rounded up the best live iPad deals so you don't have to go digging through Amazon's listings yourself. Note: Offers marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low.

Why we like it
We consider the iPad Air to be the best Apple tablet for most people: It's great for everyday activities like streaming and reading, but it's also powerful enough to use like a laptop. You can get an 11-inch M3 model with cellular connectivity and 256GB of storage for just $649.99 during the Big Spring Sale, or about $200 off — its biggest discount ever. It's now the same price as its WiFi-only counterpart.
The newer M4 iPad Air with the same specs is about $190 more expensive, and you're only looking at a small gen-over-gen speed boost there.
