Apple has just unveiled the first two entries in its 2025 iPad lineup, but choosing the right one feels tougher than ever in today's landscape.

Less than a year after updating it with the M2 chip and introducing a larger-screen option, Apple gave the iPad Air another hardware refresh with a power bump. To boost its already formidable productivity chops, Apple also treated the iPad Air to a new, more affordably priced Magic Keyboard with a dedicated function row.

Right now you can get the 11-inch iPad Air M3 (Wi-Fi/128GB) for $559 at Amazon. This is $40 off, so get one before this sale is gone! There’s an even better deal out there for My Best Buy Plus/Total members, as they can get the 11-inch iPad Air M3 (Wi-Fi/128GB) for $549 at Best Buy.
