The best iPad Air deals this month

If you want a new iPad Air, you’ve come to the right place. We’re looking at all the best deals and prices for the iPad Air right now–including contract plans. The Air remains incredibly popular and is an excellent halfway house between the entry-level iPad and high-end iPad Pro – ideal for those who need some extra power but don’t want to spend hundreds of pounds on a device that may not replace their laptop. 

Apple’s latest iPad Air was released in March 2022, and it’s been seeing significant price drops – however, if you are shopping outside of the U.S. you should note that Apple has increased the price of all iPads! Read more about that here: Is Apple ripping off the rest of the world with inflated prices? The main reason we mention this is it might make the discounts on an iPad Air look better than they are – which is why we quote the price it was as well as what it is sold for now.

Where to buy the new iPad Air 2022

If you want to buy the iPad Air direct from Apple, you can order on the Apple US or Apple UK site. There won’t be any discounts available, though Apple does offer occasional carrier deals and trade-ins.

Of course, Apple isn’t the only place you can buy an iPad Air, the usual resellers around the world will also be stocking the new model including the following. You can see the best prices at these resellers in live price comparison boxes below.

iPad Air education discounts

Apple offers students and staff in higher education discounts on the iPad Air in its Education Store. Apple isn’t the only retailer that offers student discounts, however. In the U.K., KRCS offers up to 10 percent off for qualifying students.

If you’re after the cellular model and want to buy it on contract, here’s where to look:

U.S. carrier deals

Verizon: Save $100 with an Unlimited plan and up to $200 when you buy with an iPhone.

iPad Air refurbished deals

The deals you will see above are generally from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple rarely reduces prices. Apple does, however, sell reconditioned iPads in its refurbished store. So you can grab a bargain.

The iPads in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a fault, but they are fully reconditioned now and come with a full year’s warranty. It’s not like buying secondhand. In the UK watch this page and the US Refurb Store page is here.

In the U.S.:

Apple Refurb: iPad Air 4th gen, 64GB, Wi-FI: $469 ($80 off)Apple Refurb: iPad Air 4th gen, 256GB, Wi-Fi: $599 ($100 off)Apple Refurb: iPad Air 4th gen, 64GB, Cellular: $579 ($80 off)Apple Refurb: iPad Air 4th gen, 256GB, Cellular: $709 ($120 off)

In the U.K.:

Another place to look is BackMarket US and BackMarket UK, which sells refurbished Macs and other Apple products. Amazon also has a certified refurbished store for Apple products, but we would advise against buying any products that are older than five years – most of the products we see on the Amazon refurbished store are unfortunately very old.

There is a large refurbished market for the iPad Air. We’d recommend taking a look at these refurbished resellers for iPad Air offers:

Amazon
AWD
Big Phone Store
eBay
Envirofone
Affordable Mac
Tech Trade
4Gadgets
Handtec
Laptops Direct
Music Magpie
Preloved
Smartfone Store
