Amazon's March iPad sale lowers prices across Apple's tablet lineup, including the 128GB Wi‑Fi iPad 11 at $299 (a $50 discount) with similar $50 cuts on higher storage, plus up to $500 off closeout M4 iPad Pro models and up to 26% off Apple Pencil accessories.
The iPad Air M4, packing the same M4 chip found in the iPad Pro, is billed as Apple’s best overall tablet thanks to its performance, but it sticks with the same 11‑inch display and still omits Face ID, highlighting both its strength and a few lingering drawbacks.
Apple's iPad Air uses an M4 chip that is not the same as the iPad Pro's M4, with eight CPU cores (three performance, five efficiency) and nine GPU cores — fewer than the Pro's variants that use nine or ten CPU cores and ten GPU cores depending on storage. The Air also has 12GB unified memory, placing it between Pro RAM tiers. In short, the Air's M4 is a downgraded variant produced by chip binning, so it won't match Pro (or M5) speeds in multi-core and Metal tasks, though single-core performance should be similar.
A credible Weibo leak by 'Instant Digital' says Apple will skip major iPad Pro redesigns for years, focusing on iterative updates due to the high OLED panel cost and limited sales boost from the last overhaul. While a new M6 chip and cooling improvements could arrive by late 2026 or 2027, there are no signs of radical design changes like ultra-slim borders.
Amazon is cutting prices across Apple’s M5 iPad Pro lineup, with the 11-inch 256GB Wi‑Fi model down to $899 (a $100 cut) and several 13-inch and 11-inch configurations hitting all‑time lows, including a new record low of $1,696.91 for the 1TB Wi‑Fi 13‑inch model. Other discounted sizes range from $899 up to roughly $2,000 across storage options like 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB, with free delivery around January 30 and earlier dates for Prime members.

Apple's latest iPad Air with the M3 chip offers great value for most users, providing modern features like a Liquid Retina display, USB-C, and 5G at a lower price, while the iPad Pro with the M5 chip targets professionals needing higher performance, OLED display, and advanced features like Thunderbolt and LiDAR. For general users, the iPad Air is recommended, but professionals with specific high-end needs may prefer the iPad Pro.
The M5 iPad Pro offers notable upgrades over the M4, including a new M5 chip, more RAM, 5G, faster charging, and display support, making it a worthwhile upgrade for power users with older models, though most M4 users might not find it necessary. The reviewer highlights improved performance, battery life, and new features, but suggests the upgrade is best for specific needs due to the high cost.
