Deals Spotlight: 2019 iPad Air Gets First Price Drop (Up to $40 Off)

Back in March, Apple launched the new 10.5-inch iPad Air with Touch ID, a headphone jack, A12 Bionic processor, support for the Apple Pencil, and compatibility with the Smart Keyboard. Today, B&H Photo and Amazon have kicked off the first sales for the 2019 iPad Air, discounting select configurations by up to $40.

There are both Wi-Fi and cellular options in the sale, with prices beginning at $474. These discounts aren't particularly steep given how new the iPad Air is, but they are notable for being the first markdowns on the line since its launch in March.

I’m not sure if the person above me is speaking of the new iPad Air, but I remember it being on sale once, and I’m pretty sure twice already. So this whole Gets First Price Drop….

That’s why I’m so aggravated by the Mini’s lack of sales.

Then why does the budget iPad go on sale? I had gotten that once for $249. Back in 2018.

I think it’s more because they know that the kind of folks who will buy a Mini are the kind of folks who need a Mini for some reason. So screw over the captive audience.
