Amazon is back today with a discount on Apple's brand new iPad Air. You can purchase the 64GB Wi-Fi model for $559.00, down from $599.00. This same deal appeared before the tablet even launched last week, and disappeared fast, so be sure to head to Amazon soon if you're interested.

IMO, for $190 more you can get the usually on sale iPad Pro 11" 2020 at $749, and you get the following over the Air:


* 128 GB storage
* 6 GB RAM
* LiDAR sensor
* Slightly larger screen with higher resolution and brighter
* ProMotion screen
* FaceID
* Quad-speaker audio
* Improved camera sensors
* U1 chip
* Edit: also 5 mics on the Pro vs 1 on the Air

Wouldn't be shocked to see the 64GB air for $499 on Black Friday.
