iPad Air deal knocks 3rd gen tablet down to its best ever price

With the impending release of the iPad Air 4 this month, it looks like retailers are trying to offload stock of the previous model. That's a good thing! With the base price costing $100/£100 less than the iPad Air 4, 2019's 10.5-inch iPad Air 3 is well worth considering if you're fine to leave the newer model's creativity and business features to one side but still want a high-performing tablet.

Right now, as part of the Prime Day deals 2020 promotion, Amazon Prime members in the UK can pick up the silver 64GB iPad Air (3rd Gen) for £413.10, more than 10% off and beating the best ever price by a decent margin. If you want a model with a higher capacity, too, the space grey 256GB iPad Air (3rd Gen) is £544.50 for Prime Day, again its best ever price. These are both Wi-Fi versions of the tablet.

In our 4-star iPad Air 3 (2019) review, we described the tablet as the "underrated middle child" of Apple's range of slates. While it's only compatible with the first-gen iPad Pencil, it's got a beautiful screen, and is a great 2-in-1 productivity tablet if you think you'll use it for that. It goes without saying, of course, that it's also a great way to experience entertainment apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, as well as the various games on Apple Arcade.
