4 reasons upgrading to the iPad Air (M3) might be worth it for you
The iPad Air (M3) sits in the middle area of Apple's lineup, but if you're a specific type of Apple tablet user, you'll get a lot out of it.
Why choose the iPad mini?
Unmatched portability and performance

The main selling point of the iPad mini is its form factor. Compared to the base model iPad, it is significantly smaller. The iPad mini features an 8.3-inch display, while the iPad boasts a 10.9-inch display. However, the biggest drawback of the iPad mini's display is its LCD rather than the higher-quality Liquid Retina.
If you can accept the slight decrease in screen quality, the iPad mini's portability is exceptional and makes for a great travel companion, weighing just 293 grams (0.65 pounds). Plus, its small form factor makes it easy to slip into a backpack or carry-on luggage while traveling.
For $100 off, the iPad mini is a compelling option if you're looking for a powerful portable tablet.
The iPad mini also features a more powerful processor than the newly announced 11th generation iPad. The new iPad has an A16 chipset, whereas the iPad mini has an A17 Pro chipset. The main advantage lies in its faster performance, which enhances productivity apps and gaming, and support for Apple Intelligence, Apple's constantly evolving suite of AI features. The 11th generation iPad does not support Apple Intelligence, while the iPad mini does.
For $100 off, the iPad mini is a compelling option if you're looking for a powerful portable tablet. This deal is only available on Amazon for a limited time, so act fast if you want it.
