While the 2020 iPad Air originally sold for as much as $599 at launch, you can currently get the fourth-generation featherweight tablet for as little as $349 at Walmart. The 64GB Wi-Fi configuration of the 2020 iPad Air is currently available for $349 (originally $599) in all colorways at Walmart, while the 256GB model is discounted to $499 from its original $749.99 price.
With the anticipation for new iPad models reaching a fever pitch, retailers are offering deep discounts on the last-gen model, granting a prime opportunity to pick one up for well under retail. The older iPad Air may lack the speed of Appleās M1 processor, but its A14 Bionic CPU still delivers plenty of power for the vast majority of apps. The Air is also compatible with various iPad Air accessories, like Appleās Magic Keyboard, and it features a 10.9-inch Retina display with 2360 x 1640 resolution. It supports a wide color gamut as well, not to mention a USB-C port for charging. Read our review.
This deal is a less expensive, and frankly better, option than investing in the latest model of the standard iPad. The fourth-gen Air features the same processor, has a better display, and includes more extensive compatibility with Apple accessories.
