Best Buy is holding a Fourth of July sale featuring significant discounts on previous-generation M3 iPad Air models. Shoppers can save up to $400 on these tablets during the event. These deals are especially appealing when contrasted with the recent price increases of the newer 2026 M4 iPad Air models. The savings are primarily concentrated on the cellular versions of the M3 iPad Air. In many instances, these cellular models are priced comparably to their Wi-Fi only counterparts. For example, the 128GB Cellular 11-inch M3 iPad Air is available for $499, a $250 reduction. This is considerably lower than the $899 price tag of the equivalent M4 model. The M4 iPad Air offers a faster chip and upgraded wireless capabilities, but the tablets are otherwise similar in design. Deals are available for various storage capacities and screen sizes of the M3 iPad Air. These discounts make the M3 iPad Air a compelling option for budget-conscious consumers.
