If you’re in the market for a new tablet that fits squarely between the latest iPad Mini and the iPad Pro, the 2022 iPad Air 5 might be the one for you. Here are the best deals for the iPad Air 5 (2022). And don’t forget to grab a case after you buy it!

The best iPad Air 5 (2022) deals: Retailers

Amazon

If Amazon is your retailer of choice, you can buy the iPad Air 5 (2022) from there. Its price there matches that of the Apple Store, and it sometimes gets limited-time discounts.

Adorama

The iPad Air 5 (2022) is available on Adorama in all finishes and both Wi-Fi and cellular options. You can get it from this retailer for the same price offered in the Apple Store.

Best Buy

Best Buy is also selling the iPad Air 5 in all color options, including the Wi-Fi model and the unlocked cellular one. You can order it directly from the retailer’s website.

Apple Online Store

The iPad Air 5 (2022) went on sale during March 2022 on Apple’s Online Store. It’s available in two storage configurations; 64GB of storage beginning at $599, and 256GB of storage beginning at $749. If you also want cellular support with 5G on either storage configuration, then you’ll be shelling out an additional $149 for the privilege, totaling $749 and $899 respectively. All models are available in multiple vivid colors.

If you’re picking up a cellular model, keep in mind that it can support either eSIM or a physical SIM card. All models support Wi-Fi 6 technology for fast Wi-Fi data transfer, meaning that cellular may not necessarily be a requirement depending on your use case.

If the price is a bit steep, Apple is also offering up to $680 in trade-in credit when trading in an older iPad. Tablets from other manufacturers aren’t eligible, as Apple will instead offer to recycle them for you for free. Sadly the company doesn’t offer a breakdown as to how much exactly you can expect to get for your iPad until you submit a serial number.
