M3 iPad Air Drops Up to $300 as M4 iPad Air and M5 MacBooks Hit New Lows

Retailer undercutting signals clearance pressure following Apple's latest refresh.

Overview

  • Amazon’s clearance on M3 iPad Air models resurfaced Thursday with new all‑time lows, including the 13‑inch 1TB Wi‑Fi + Cellular at $1,149 ($300 off) and the 11‑inch 256GB cellular model at $599 ($250 off).
  • New M4 iPad Air tablets are also discounted at Amazon by up to about $100, with cuts of roughly $90 on the 11‑inch 1TB and $100 on the 13‑inch 1TB configurations.
  • B&H undercut Amazon on Wednesday with the 14‑inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro (24GB/1TB) at $1,949 via an in‑cart coupon, a Space Black offer described as time‑limited.
  • B&H pushed M5 MacBook Air prices lower on Thursday, listing the base 15‑inch model at $1,129 and pricing select 15‑inch 24GB configurations at $1,499 with upgraded power adapters, with some deals limited to the Midnight color.
  • Apple positions the M4 iPad Air as up to 30% faster with higher memory bandwidth, and the M5 line now starts at 512GB storage, factors that help move new models while driving deeper, color‑ and stock‑specific markdowns on older units.
