Good deal but honestly if you have an earlier iPad Air, real deal is not to upgrade. Apple seems to care about these less than AirPods Max. How is the screen, battery, speakers etc unchanged from my 5 year old iPad Air 4. Better processor but I like 99% of iPad Air users will use only for Netflix, or reading a book so no real difference.

no, BF price is $450, I think, or basically at least $430+, I can't recall the exact price.

This is the cheapest price for iPad Air

Wait, it's the same same and battery etc minus processor?!
Main difference would be the base storage - previous generations were coming with 64GB, the M2, M3...are 128GB. 64GB is not enough today. Screen has been the same, battery - can't feel difference. front the camera has been upgraded and mounted horizontally. For ref - I have had all generations of iPad Air, upgraded couple months ago to the latest. For me the main difference is GPU and games running better, also the latest Air can connect to a monitor and support "windows" interface. It behaves as the Pro and like a laptop.

OF COURSE it goes on sale for cheaper after I buy the same thing at Costco for $499!!! Does Costco Price Match or do I have to cancel/return and rebuy at target to save $100?
Costco doesn't match anyone
Gotta return rebuy

I have an ipad a16 (within the return window). Is it worth upgrading to this one? All I do on my ipad is watch youtube and read books.
I own both (although older editions), and I prefer the Air. It has a better screen, speakers, and feels nicer in hands (thinner). However, you may not notice the difference unless you compare them side by side.

only difference between iPad Air and regular iPad is the lcd (laminated vs non laminated), chip is also different, but you won't notice it if only youtube and read books.
That's not true, the air m3 uses an m3 chip which is significantly better.

I had picked up up for 449, had not even opened it yet. I am going to return and rebuy instead of doing a price match. Used my 10% gift card. Solid deal.

from a Costco price drop though, they wouldn't match Targets $100 price adjustment, I ended up getting the same one from Target, if they still have it by Friday I am going to return the Costco one and Pick the Target one up, saved ~$115

They don't march any store or retailer
Just themselves

if you are on an outdated version of iPad OS and somehow your apps still working, you are lucky !
iPad OS 26.X update sucks. older iPads are not responsive. sticky screens, stop-motion movement, slow safari sites. Apple Intelligence is less intelligent and more heat from the back
AI writing tools pop up out of nowhere! probably apple want everyone to buy new iPads and did this deliberately !!

Quote from monkeyrat199 View quoted comment :
Wow, I was able to pricematch the one I bought at BestBuy prior to black friday. And they took $97.xx off because they used the $399 as the total rather than $399+tax. With the 20% paypal cashback and the 30% CB at C1, it came out to around $200 after tax
May I know wats the deal of 20% with PayPal and wat C1 means ?
