{"title": "Top Current Discounts on iPads: Save $100 on the 13-Inch iPad Air Edition", "body": ["Every week, our team scans leading stores for significant price reductions on iPads. Such offers rarely appear on Apple's official site, yet outlets like Target, Walmart, and especially Amazon frequently feature compelling savings on these devices. This roundup gets refreshed at minimum weekly, and we include notable bargains on additional Apple products, ranging from the Apple Watch wearable to the MacBook laptop. Our emphasis on Apple items stems from their frequent appearance as leading choices in categories such as tablets, smartwatches, laptops, and beyond."], ["As we approach the Black Friday sales period—which has expanded far beyond a single day—current reductions could deepen further by late November. If a desired item like the AirPods Pro 3 isn't discounted yet, it's worth revisiting soon. At present, here are the leading offers on Apple products we've identified."], ["Leading iPad Discounts"], ["Apple iPad Air (M3, 13-inch) at $699 ($100 savings): The prior iPad Air model impressed us greatly. This newest version includes a more powerful M3 processor that performed outstandingly in testing. It received an 89 rating in our evaluation and stands as our preferred option within the iPad lineup. Featuring the expansive 13-inch display, it's slightly bulkier to transport but offers greater area for video viewing and gaming. Prices dipped to $649 several times earlier this year, yet this $100 cut remains solid for those unwilling to delay until Black Friday promotions."], ["Apple iPad Pro (11-inch, M5) at $933 ($66 savings): Apple's most recent iPad launched under a month ago, yet it's already seeing around $50 off at multiple sellers. On Amazon, the entry-level unit with M5 processor and 256GB storage in black is now $933. Our review assigned it an 85 score. It boasts a superior OLED screen and remarkably slim build, with the M5 chip delivering ample power for virtually any iPad task. Additionally, it's the sole Apple tablet enabling rapid charging. However, it exceeds the requirements of most everyday users, making it ideal for dedicated iPad enthusiasts or those with substantial budgets. Available at Best Buy and B&H for $949."], ["Apple iPad (A16) at $299 ($50 savings): This basic iPad model incorporates a quicker A16 processor, 2GB extra RAM, and 128GB storage standard. It scored 84 in our assessment—if your needs involve web browsing, media consumption, and basic work, it suffices well. The iPadOS 26 upgrade brings comparable multitasking capabilities to pricier variants. This pricing has held steady for recent months—$20 over the historical minimum, but less than Apple's direct price. The reduction is limited to select colors. Also offered at Walmart."], ["Apple iPad Pro (13-inch, M5) at $1,246 ($53 savings): The 13-inch iPad Pro mirrors the 11-inch closely, except for its larger size. It costs more, but the added display area could justify it for those relying on the Pro as a primary computing device. Amazon doesn't flag it as a sale, but it's roughly $50 below Apple's list price. Since these just debuted, any reduction merits attention. Found at Best Buy and B&H for $1,249."], ["Leading Apple Discounts"], ["Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M4) at $750 ($250 savings): This newest MacBook Air tops our recommendations for laptops and achieved a 92 in our review. It lacks sweeping changes, but retains its impressively slim, lightweight, and sturdy construction, plus excellent endurance, keyboard, and trackpad. Performance sees a modest boost. (We'd prefer additional ports and a display refresh above 60Hz.) This sets a record low for the starter config with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD, while upgraded versions also drop $250."], ["Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M4) at $950 ($250 savings): The 15-inch MacBook Air closely resembles its 13-inch counterpart, beyond the broader screen; it includes enhanced audio and a larger trackpad. This offer establishes a fresh all-time low, with comparable cuts on other specs."], ["Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, M4 Max, 36GB memory, 1TB storage) at $3,096 ($403 savings): For a high-end MacBook option, this setup is noteworthy. It features the quickest M-series chip available now (though M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max arrivals loom with the M5 debut). It's a powerhouse suited mainly to professionals. The cost reflects its capabilities. We endorse the MacBook Pro for creative professionals and rated the 16-inch M4 models 92. This price is just $20 shy of the prior best for this build."], ["Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm, GPS) at $200 ($49 savings): This marks the initial substantial cut for the third-generation entry smartwatch from Apple, out since September. It earned a 90 in our review. Key improvement is the persistent display, eliminating the need to activate for time or alerts. (This was once exclusive to premium Apple Watches.) It shares the S10 processor with upscale models and provides core health and fitness tracking. It's an excellent pick for first-time smartwatch buyers or those focused on steps, sleep, and notices."], ["Apple Watch Ultra 3 (49mm) at $700 ($100 savings): Unlike other Apple wearables, the Ultra 3 targets elite athletes and explorers over routine fitness users. As the largest and toughest Apple Watch, it has the most luminous screen (reaching 3,000 nits), extended battery (up to 42 hours), and cutting-edge features. It enables satellite messaging too. The reduction doesn't render it affordable, but it hits a new minimum."], ["Apple Mac mini (M4) at $499 ($100 savings): Apple's latest compact desktop shrinks the chassis, upgrades to M4 processor, standardizes 16GB RAM, adds front USB-C ports, an additional Thunderbolt 4, and support for three external monitors. It skips USB-A ports. The M4 Pro variant scored 90 in review. This is for the base M4 with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD—we've noted $469 lows, but this saves meaningfully. Also at Best Buy, Walmart, and B&H."], ["Apple Pencil Pro at $99 ($30 savings): Amid Apple's varied stylus choices, the Pro model offers pressure sensing, cordless charging, tilt recognition, vibration feedback, and double-tap plus squeeze controls, plus more. It's superb for detailed drawing and annotations, though limited to M4 iPad Pro, M2/M3 iPad Air, and latest iPad mini. This offer has appeared regularly this year, better than Apple's pricing. At Best Buy, Walmart, and Target too."], ["Apple AirTag (4-pack) at $65 ($34 savings): An refresh may arrive soon, but existing AirTags lead as Bluetooth locators for iPhone users, leveraging extensive network and precise ultra-wideband for close-range finds. Pair with a holder for keys, wallet, or bag. This deal nearly matches our tracked best, excluding a site glitch at Apple. At Best Buy and Walmart as well. For one unit, $18 at Amazon."], ["Explore Additional Apple Content:"], ["Best AirPods"], ["Best Apple Watches"], ["Best MacBooks"], ["Best iPhones"], ["Best iPads"], ["Track @EngadgetDeals on X for fresh tech bargains and purchase tips."]]}
