Even with a new model likely arriving, the current iPad Air gets our full recommendation, especially when it’s cheaper than ever: Amazon is selling the 64GB iPad Air in every color for $450, a savings of $150 and the best price we’ve ever seen. the 64GB model, usually on sale for $499.
The iPad Air features a 10-0.9-inch Liquid Retina display and is ready for anything with an M1 chip, a 12 MP front-facing camera with Center Stage, Apple Pencil 2 support, USB-C and Touch ID. Its beautiful all-screen design isn’t expected to change, and we don’t think there’ll be much to worry about missing out on anything other than a faster chip and better cameras.
Even without an update for almost two years, we think the iPad Air is one of the best tablets ever and perfect for almost any task. In our 4.5-star review, we called the iPad Air “Pro in all but name” and praised its design and performance. And at the price, it’s a bargain too, so go buy one before the price goes back up.
