Amazon Sets Record Lows on M3 iPad Air as B&H Undercuts M5 Pro MacBook

Clearance pricing after the M4 launch signals a rapid inventory reset by major retailers.

Overview

  • Amazon’s cuts Wednesday pushed several M3 iPad Air models to all‑time lows, led by the 13‑inch 1TB Wi‑Fi + Cellular at $1,149, which is $300 off the original $1,449 price.
  • Deeper deals also hit the 11‑inch M3 iPad Air line, with the 256GB Wi‑Fi + Cellular model at $599, the 512GB version at $799, and the 1TB build at $999, with some listings noting limited stock.
  • New M4 iPad Air tablets saw smaller price drops on Amazon up to $100 off, with the 13‑inch 1TB at $1,199 and the 11‑inch 1TB at $1,009, as the M4 adds Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 support.
  • Amazon marked a new low for Apple’s base 14‑inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro at $1,994, while B&H briefly undercut it to $1,949 via an in‑cart coupon on the same 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD configuration.
  • B&H also posted a 15‑inch M5 MacBook Air with 24GB RAM and a 512GB SSD for $1,299, illustrating a common post‑launch pattern where prior‑gen iPads get clearance pricing and niche MacBook builds see short‑lived best‑ever offers.
