Best Buy Introduces First Discounts on M3 iPad Air for Members

Apple yesterday announced the new M3 iPad Air, and Best Buy is already offering $50 off to My Best Buy Plus/Total members when pre-ordering. This marks the first official deal on the latest iPad Air, and we aren't tracking any similar discounts on the new 11th generation iPad yet.

Similarly, Best Buy has every model of the 13-inch M3 iPad Air on sale for $50 off if you're a My Best Buy Plus/Total member. Prices for these models start at $749.00 for the 128GB Wi-Fi 13-inch M3 iPad Air, down from $799.00, and also include cellular tablets.

These tablets feature up to 20 percent faster performance compared to the previous generation iPad Air. Apple also introduced a redesigned Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air, featuring a larger built-in trackpad, 14-key function row, and new aluminum hinge.

The M3 iPad Air will officially launch on March 12. You can also pre-order the 11th generation iPad on Best Buy, but there are no discounts for members at this time.
