10.9-inch iPad Air

An entry-level iPad Air Wi-Fi 64GB bundle has been treated to a notable discount as part of yet another one of Apple's traditionally subdued Black Friday sales on Amazon. While supplies last, the iPad Air Wi-Fi 64GB bundled with two years' worth of AppleCare+ protection can be purchased at $628, $50 off its regular price.

Not accounting for its annual price corrections on older hardware, Apple has been historically reluctant to offer notable discounts on its devices regardless of the occasion, which makes any kind of deal on one of its products noteworthy. Doubly so when that product happens to be the 2022 iPad Air with a desktop-grade M1 chip that hit the market just a few months ago and is currently widely considered one of the best-value tablets out there.

The new iPad Air can be paired with a keyboard and mouse in order to function like a traditional laptop replacement. While Apple offers its own Magic Keyboard to that end, any Bluetooth-enabled keyboard will work. As for other accessories, the 2022 iPad Air also supports the second-generation Apple Pencil, which is still arguably the most advanced tablet stylus on the market used by everyone from note-taking students to professional illustrators. In terms of performance, the M1 chipset and 8GB of RAM make this an excellent device for gaming, especially if paired with a Bluetooth gamepad. The majority of Apple Arcade titles and many free-to-play iOS games like Call of Duty Mobile and Genshin Impact offer controller support.

Either way, these rare iPad Air discounts are only available while supplies last.
